This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio:accel:bmc150-accel: Fix timestamp alignment and prevent data
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:accel:bmc150-accel: Fix timestamp alignment and prevent data
leak.
One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review.
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned
to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes). This is not guaranteed in
this driver which uses a 16 byte array of smaller elements on the stack.
As Lars also noted this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to
userspace and that indeed can happen here. We close both issues by moving
to a suitable structure in the iio_priv() data with alignment
ensured by use of an explicit c structure. This data is allocated
with kzalloc so no data can leak appart from previous readings.
Fixes tag is beyond some major refactoring so likely manual backporting
would be needed to get that far back.
Whilst the force alignment of the ts is not strictly necessary, it
does make the code less fragile.
Fixes: 3bbec9773389 ("iio: bmc150_accel: add support for hardware fifo")
