+ * The "ascii-ci" feature was created to speed up case-insensitive lookups for
+ * a Samba product. Because of the inherent problems with CI and UTF-8
+ * encoding, etc, it was decided that Samba would be configured to export
+ * latin1/iso 8859-1 encodings as that covered >90% of the target markets for
+ * the product. Hence the "ascii-ci" casefolding code could be encoded into
+ * the XFS directory operations and remove all the overhead of casefolding from
+ * Samba.
+ *
+ * To provide consistent hashing behavior between the userspace and kernel,
+ * these functions prepare names for hashing by transforming specific bytes
+ * to other bytes. Robustness with other encodings is not guaranteed.
