Public bug reported:
Commit: "smb: move client and server files to common directory fs/smb" moved
the fs/cifs directory to fs/sb/client. The inclusion list for linux-modules was
not updated, it still contains the old path. This means that cifs.ko module
cannot be loaded if only linux-modules package is installed, now being part of
linux-modules-extra.
For lunar:main this is not a problem because linux-modules-extra is always
installed, but for derivatives like aws, azure etc, this module cannot be
loaded without explicitly installing linux-modules-extra.
[Test]
1. Install the latest azure kernel 6.2.0-1016.16
2. Load cifs module
$ modprobe cifs
modprobe: FATAL: Module cifs not found in directory
/lib/modules/6.2.0-1016-azure
If modules-extra is installed, this works.
