This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: adis_buffer: Fix out-of-bounds memory access
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.

Subject: iio: adis_buffer: Fix out-of-bounds memory access
The SPI tx and rx buffers are both supposed to be scan_bytes amount of
bytes large and a common allocation is used to allocate both buffers. This
puts the beginning of the tx buffer scan_bytes bytes after the rx buffer.
The initialization of the tx buffer pointer is done adding scan_bytes to
the beginning of the rx buffer, but since the rx buffer is of type __be16
this will actually add two times as much and the tx buffer ends up pointing
after the allocated buffer.
Fix this by using scan_count, which is scan_bytes / 2, instead of
scan_bytes when initializing the tx buffer pointer.
