4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 60e6627f12a78203a093ca05b7bca15627747d81 ]
In general, accessing userspace memory beyond the length of the supplied
buffer in VFS read/write handlers can lead to both kernel memory corruption
(via kernel_read()/kernel_write(), which can e.g. be triggered via
sys_splice()) and privilege escalation inside userspace.
In this case, the affected files are in debugfs (and should therefore only
be accessible to root), and the read handlers check that *pos is zero
(meaning that at least sys_splice() can't trigger kernel memory
corruption). Because of the root requirement, this is not a security fix,
but rather a cleanup.
For the read handlers, fix it by using simple_read_from_buffer() instead
of custom logic. Add min() calls to the write handlers.
Fixes: 4a2da0b8c078 ("IB/mlx5: Add debug control parameters for congestion control")
Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
