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?
