The patch spi: rspi: Fixes bogus received byte in qspi_transfer_in() has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 7264abc7000d601726aefb05189ea524ee3995ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: DongCV <cv-dong@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 19:50:51 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] spi: rspi: Fixes bogus received byte in qspi_transfer_in() In qspi_transfer_in(), when receiving the last n (or len) bytes of data, one bogus byte was written in the receive buffer. This code leads to a buffer overflow. "jffs2: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x03b40000: 0x1900 instead jffs2: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x03b40004: 0x000c instead" The error message above happens when trying to mount, unmount, and remount a jffs2-formatted device. This patch removed the bogus write to fixes: 3be09bec42a800d4 "spi: rspi: supports 32bytes buffer for DUAL and QUAD" And here is Geert's comment: "spi: rspi: Fix bogus received byte in qspi_transfer_in() When there are less than QSPI_BUFFER_SIZE remaining bytes to be received, qspi_transfer_in() writes one bogus byte in the receive buffer, possibly leading to a buffer overflow. This can be reproduced by mounting, unmounting, and remounting a jffs2-formatted device, causing lots of warnings like: "jffs2: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x03b40000: 0x1900 instead" Remove the bogus write to fix this.
