  cifs: make sure we allocate enough storage for socket address
  [CIFS] Make socket retry timeouts consistent between blocking and nonblocking cases
  [CIFS] some cleanup to dir.c prior to addition of posix_open
  [CIFS] revalidate parent inode when rmdir done within that directory
  [CIFS] Rename md5 functions to avoid collision with new rt modules
  cifs: turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv
