3bc93c7bde comedi: drivers: ni_routes: Use strcmp() instead of memcmp()
The family and device comparisons were using memcmp(), but this could
lead to Out-of-bounds reads when the length was larger than the
buffers being compared. Since these appear to always be NUL-terminated
strings, just use strcmp() instead.

This was found with Clang under LTO:

9940a7569d comedi: remove redundant assignment to variable buffer_config
Variable buffer_config is being assigned a value that is never read, it
is being re-assigned later on. The assignment is redundant and can be
removed.

ee8ed0141d comedi: das16: Use struct_size() helper in comedi_alloc_spriv()
Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version,
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that,
in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows.

Also, address the following sparse warnings:

fe7a4f5b95 comedi: Move "comedi_isadma.h" to <linux/comedi/comedi_isadma.h>
Some of the header files in "drivers/comedi/drivers/" are common enough
to be useful to out-of-tree comedi driver modules.  Using them for
out-of-tree module builds is hampered by the headers being outside the
"include/" directory so it is desirable to move them.

There are about a half a dozen or so Comedi device drivers that use the
"comedi_isadma" module to add ISA DMA support.  The macros and

in the comedi "drivers" directory.  Move it into

55d0f80ecf comedi: ni_routing: tools: Update due to moved COMEDI headers
Building of the tools for converting the NI routing information between
CSV files (for maintenance) and C files (for building) was broken by the
move of the main COMEDI header files to "include/uapi/linux/" and
"include/linux/".  (These tools are not built as part of the normal
kernel build process.)  Fix it in the Makefile.

A slight niggle is that `#include <linux/comedi.h>` needs to work when
compiling the `convert_c_to_py` program, but it cannot use a `-I` option
referring to the "uapi" include directory because that interferes with
inclusion of other system headers.  So it uses `-I.` and makes a local
copy (actually a symbolic link) as "./linux/comedi.h".

Also remove some unneeded cruft such as the `-D"BIT(x)=(1<<(x))"`
preprocessor flag.

directory "include/linux/comedi/".  These are "comedidev.h",
"comedilib.h", "comedi_pci.h", "comedi_pcmcia.h", and "comedi_usb.h".
Additionally, move the user-space API header "comedi.h" into
"include/uapi/linux/" and add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to its
SPDX-License-Identifier.

536de747bc comedi: dt9812: fix DMA buffers on stack
USB transfer buffers are typically mapped for DMA and must not be
allocated on the stack or transfers will fail.

Allocate proper transfer buffers in the various command helpers and
return an error on short transfers instead of acting on random stack
data.

Note that this also fixes a stack info leak on systems where DMA is not
used as 32 bytes are always sent to the device regardless of how short
the command is.

The driver uses endpoint-sized USB transfer buffers but had no sanity
checks on the sizes. This can lead to zero-size-pointer dereferences or
overflowed transfer buffers in ni6501_port_command() and
ni6501_counter_command() if a (malicious) device has smaller max-packet
sizes than expected (or when doing descriptor fuzz testing).

Add the missing sanity checks to probe().

a56d3e40bd comedi: vmk80xx: fix bulk and interrupt message timeouts
USB bulk and interrupt message timeouts are specified in milliseconds
and should specifically not vary with CONFIG_HZ.

Note that the bulk-out transfer timeout was set to the endpoint
bInterval value, which should be ignored for bulk endpoints and is
typically set to zero. This meant that a failing bulk-out transfer
would never time out.

Assume that the 10 second timeout used for all other transfers is more
than enough also for the bulk-out endpoint.

a23461c474 comedi: vmk80xx: fix transfer-buffer overflows
The driver uses endpoint-sized USB transfer buffers but up until
recently had no sanity checks on the sizes.

Commit e1f13c879a ("staging: comedi: check validity of wMaxPacketSize
of usb endpoints found") inadvertently fixed NULL-pointer dereferences
when accessing the transfer buffers in case a malicious device has a
zero wMaxPacketSize.

Make sure to allocate buffers large enough to handle also the other
accesses that are done without a size check (e.g. byte 18 in
vmk80xx_cnt_insn_read() for the VMK8061_MODEL) to avoid writing beyond
the buffers, for example, when doing descriptor fuzzing.

The original driver was for a low-speed device with 8-byte buffers.
Support was later added for a device that uses bulk transfers and is
presumably a full-speed device with a maximum 64-byte wMaxPacketSize.

bb509a6ffe comedi: Fix memory leak in compat_insnlist()
`compat_insnlist()` handles the 32-bit version of the `COMEDI_INSNLIST`
ioctl (whenwhen `CONFIG_COMPAT` is enabled).  It allocates memory to
temporarily hold an array of `struct comedi_insn` converted from the
32-bit version in user space.  This memory is only being freed if there
is a fault while filling the array, otherwise it is leaked.

Add a call to `kfree()` to fix the leak.

 For the staging side, we moved a few drivers out of staging, and deleted
 the kpc2000 drivers as the original developer asked us to because no one
 was working on them anymore.
 
 Also in here are loads of coding style cleanups due to different intern
 projects focusing on the staging tree to try to get experience doing
 kernel development.
 
 All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while with no
 reported problems.

7d5b2cbe7a comedi: remove editor modelines and cruft (again)
Commit fa60ce2cb4 ("treewide: remove editor modelines and cruft")
is different from what I submitted.

My original patch [1] did treewide cleanups including the comedi driver.

Unfortunately, commit 8ffdff6a8c ("staging: comedi: move out of staging
directory") moved drivers/staging/comedi/ to drivers/comedi/ before my
patch landed on Linus' tree from akpm tree.

If Andrew Morton had used Git, 'git merge' would have resolved such file
moves properly without any manual intervention.

Patches in akpm tree often get broken in his quilt workflows, and then
people end up with sending fixup patches.

8ffdff6a8c staging: comedi: move out of staging directory
The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier.  It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.

So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.

Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.
