This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio:buffer: make length types match kfifo types
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: Martin Kelly mkelly@xevo.com Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 14:27:51 -0700 Subject: iio:buffer: make length types match kfifo types
Currently, we use int for buffer length and bytes_per_datum. However, kfifo uses unsigned int for length and size_t for element size. We need to make sure these matches or we will have bugs related to overflow (in the range between INT_MAX and UINT_MAX for length, for example).
In addition, set_bytes_per_datum uses size_t while bytes_per_datum is an int, which would cause bugs for large values of bytes_per_datum.
Change buffer length to use unsigned int and bytes_per_datum to use size_t.
