[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH 0/5] cifs: Fix inconsistent handling of unicode string buffers

[Suresh Jayaraman]

This patchset fixes the opencoded, inconsistent allocation of memory
needed for a unicode string conversion by calculating the memory needed
exactly instead of using size assumptions. It consolidates some common
code that does allocates memory and conversion in a helper function and
makes use of it wherever appropriate. It also cleans up pointless length
checks in decode_unicode_ssetup.

I have incorporated all the review comments from the previous post and
have split the patches to make review easier.
