Subject: drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.c: fix unbounded copy_to_user()
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In _ctl_diag_read_buffer() on line 2019, user-supplied values are
used to determine the size of a copy_to_user() as well as the offset
into the buffer to be read, with no bounds checking.  I'm not familiar
with this code, so I'm not sure what checks would be appropriate, but
letting unprivileged users read arbitrary kernel memory probably isn't
intended.
