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

iio:magnetometer:mag3110: 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-testing 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 be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Jonathan Cameron Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2020 12:27:37 +0100 Subject: iio:magnetometer:mag3110: 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.

The explicit alignment of ts is not necessary in this case but does make the code slightly less fragile so I have included it.
