Compiling SMBFS module in 3.10 kernel

Hi, I have an old system with kernel version 2.4 and I need to set up a SMB share with another system running 3.10. Can anyone help me to compile a SMBFS kernel module in kernel version 3.10. I checked online and it only has CIFS and found that SMBFS is deprecated. Is CIFS backward compatible with SMBFS or do I need to compile SMBFS separately in the new kernel version. Thanks and regards, Roheen
