Thanks for reviewing it.

I'll drop the patch from my series.

After re-reading cifsd.rst, I suspect that it is actually trying to
refer to:

	https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools/blob/master/Documentation/configuration.txt

and not to a local file.

So, IMO, the right thing to do is to apply the enclosed patch instead.
	

Thanks,
Mauro

[PATCH] docs: cifsd: change the reference to configuration.txt

Changeset 75b8988dfe83 ("cifsd: add server handler for central processing and tranport layers")
added documentation for cifsd. There, it points to a file
named:
	Documentation/configuration.txt

This confuses Kernel scripts, as they think that this is a
document within the Kernel tree, instead of a file from
some other place.

Replace it by an hyperlink to the ksmbd-tools tree, in order
to avoid false-positives.
