This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio:kfifo_buf: check for uint overflow
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio:kfifo_buf: check for uint overflow
Currently, the following causes a kernel OOPS in memcpy:
echo 1073741825 > buffer/length
echo 1 > buffer/enable
Note that using 1073741824 instead of 1073741825 causes "write error:
Cannot allocate memory" but no OOPS.
This is because 1073741824 == 2^30 and 1073741825 == 2^30+1. Since kfifo
rounds up to the nearest power of 2, it will actually call kmalloc with
roundup_pow_of_two(length) * bytes_per_datum.
Using length == 1073741825 and bytes_per_datum == 2, we get:
kmalloc(roundup_pow_of_two(1073741825) * 2
or kmalloc(2147483648 * 2)
or kmalloc(4294967296)
or kmalloc(UINT_MAX + 1)
so this overflows to 0, causing kmalloc to return ZERO_SIZE_PTR and
subsequent memcpy to fail once the device is enabled.
Fix this by checking for overflow prior to allocating a kfifo. With this
check added, the above code returns -EINVAL when enabling the buffer,
rather than causing an OOPS.
