This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

ARM: amba: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-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: Geert Uytterhoeven geert+renesas@glider.be Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 15:21:45 +0200 Subject: ARM: amba: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer

When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes long, the printing code would access invalid memory because we need count + 1 bytes for printing.

Cfr. commits 4efe874aace57dba ("PCI: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer") and bf563b01c2895a4b ("driver core: platform: Don't read past the end of "driver_override" buffer").
