This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: bail out early when RDWR parameters are wrong to the 5.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: i2c-bail-out-early-when-rdwr-parameters-are-wrong.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9943a3cff7543c3cd279311c1c950a10bafbdc14 Author: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 12 12:57:34 2021 +0100 i2c: bail out early when RDWR parameters are wrong [ Upstream commit 71581562ee36032d2d574a9b23ad4af6d6a64cf7 ] The buggy parameters currently get caught later, but emit a noisy WARN. Userspace should not be able to trigger this, so add similar checks much earlier. Also avoids some unneeded code paths, of course. Apply kernel coding stlye to a comment while here.
