This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio:humidity:hdc100x Fix alignment and data leak issues
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: Jonathan Cameron Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2020 16:53:52 +0100 Subject: iio:humidity:hdc100x Fix alignment and data leak issues
One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review. iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes). This is not guaranteed in this driver which uses an array of smaller elements on the stack. As Lars also noted this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to userspace and that indeed can happen here. We close both issues by moving to a suitable structure in the iio_priv() data. This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak apart from previous readings.
