    The cleanup and rewrite of some of the Unicode string handling functions was
    too large for stable, but the potential buffer overrun fixes were small
    enough to submit, had been collected (and cleaned up so that they
    could merge) for stable submission by Suresh (Jeff and I acked
    them over the last two days)

    01-cifs-fix-buffer-size-for-nativeFileSystem
    02-cifs-fix-temp-buffer-size-in-cifs_readdir
    03-cifs-fix-dest-buffer-size-in-cifs_strncpy_to_host
    04-cifs-fix-cifs_convertUCSpath
    05-cifs-fix-unicode-string-alignment-in-session-setup

    I am not aware of any others that are missing.

    Suresh,
    Are we missing any?
