[ 114/173] regmap: debugfs: Avoid overflows for very small reads

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Dec 28 2012 - 14:43:26 EST


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

------------------

From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit db04328c167ff8e7c57f4a3532214aeada3a82fd upstream.

If count is less than the size of a register then we may hit integer
wraparound when trying to move backwards to check if we're still in
the buffer. Instead move the position forwards to check if it's still
in the buffer, we are unlikely to be able to allocate a buffer
sufficiently big to overflow here.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: formatted length is tot_len]
