This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value 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. >From e4c3e133294c0a292d21073899b05ebf530169bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabrice Gasnier <fabrice.gasnier@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2021 15:43:55 +0100 Subject: counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value The ceiling value isn't checked before writing it into registers. The user could write a value higher than the counter resolution (e.g. 16 or 32 bits indicated by max_arr). This makes most significant bits to be truncated. Fix it by checking the max_arr to report a range error [1] to the user.
