From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Nov 13 2015 - 05:40:55 EST


3.16.7-ckt20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eda7d0f38aaf50dbb2a2de15e8db386c4f6f65fc upstream.

"num_read" is in byte units but we are write u16s so we end up write
twice as much as intended.
