Subject: USB: devio: Don't corrupt user memory
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fa1ed74eb1c233be6131ec92df21ab46499a15b6 upstream.
The user buffer has "uurb->buffer_length" bytes. If the kernel has more
information than that, we should truncate it instead of writing past
the end of the user's buffer. I added a WARN_ONCE() to help the user
debug the issue.
