3.16.7-ckt8 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 9cb12d7b4ccaa976f97ce0c5fd0f1b6a83bc2a75 upstream.
For whatever reason, generic_access_phys() only remaps one page, but
actually allows to access arbitrary size. It's quite easy to trigger
large reads, like printing out large structure with gdb, which leads to a
crash. Fix it by remapping correct size.
Fixes: 28b2ee20c7cb ("access_process_vm device memory infrastructure")
