commit e1878957b4676a17cf398f7f5723b365e9a2ca48 upstream.

Correct a direct dereference of I/O memory to use an appropriate I/O
memory access function.  Note that the pointer being dereferenced is not
currently tagged with `__iomem` but I plan to correct that for 3.7.

commit b655c2c4782ed3e2e71d2608154e295a3e860311 upstream.

`s626_enc_insn_config()` is incorrectly dereferencing `insn-&gt;data` which
is a pointer to user memory.  It should be dereferencing the separate
`data` parameter that points to a copy of the data in kernel memory.

commit c8cad4c89ee3b15935c532210ae6ebb5c0a2734d upstream.

When `do_cmd_ioctl()` allocates memory for the kernel copy of a channel
list, it frees any previously allocated channel list in
`async-&gt;cmd.chanlist` and replaces it with the new one.  However, if the
device is ever removed (or "detached") the cleanup code in
`cleanup_device()` in "drivers.c" does not free this memory so it is
lost.

A sensible place to free the kernel copy of the channel list is in
`do_become_nonbusy()` as at that point the comedi asynchronous command
associated with the channel list is no longer valid.  Free the channel
list in `do_become_nonbusy()` instead of `do_cmd_ioctl()` and clear the
pointer to prevent it being freed more than once.

Note that `cleanup_device()` could be called at an inappropriate time
while the comedi device is open, but that's a separate bug not related
to this this patch.

commit 5d06e3df280bd230e2eadc16372e62818c63e894 upstream.

`parse_insn()` is dereferencing the user-space pointer `insn-&gt;data`
directly when handling the `INSN_INTTRIG` comedi instruction.  It
shouldn't be using `insn-&gt;data` at all; it should be using the separate
`data` pointer passed to the function.  Fix it.

commit e6391a182865efc896cb2a8d79e07b7ac2f45b48 upstream.

The element of `das08_boards[]` for the 'das08jr-16-ao' board has the
`ai_encoding` member set to `das08_encode12`.  It should be set to
`das08_encode16` same as the 'das08jr/16' board.  After all, this board
has 16-bit AI resolution.

The description of the A/D LSB register at offset 0 seems incorrect in
the user manual "cio-das08jr-16-ao.pdf" as it implies that the AI
resolution is only 12 bits.  The diagrams of the A/D LSB and MSB
registers show 15 data bits and a sign bit, which matches what the
software expects for the `das08_encode16` AI encoding method.

There is a potential integer overflow in do_insnlist_ioctl() if
userspace passes in a large insnlist.n_insns.  The call to kmalloc()
would allocate a small buffer, leading to a memory corruption.

The bug was reported by Dan Carpenter &lt;dan.carpenter@oracle.com&gt;
and Haogang Chen &lt;haogangchen@gmail.com&gt;.  The patch was suggested by
Ian Abbott &lt;abbotti@mev.co.uk&gt; and Lars-Peter Clausen &lt;lars@metafoo.de&gt;.

There is an integer overflow here that could cause memory corruption
on 32 bit systems.

insnlist.n_insns could be a very high value size calculation for
kmalloc() could overflow resulting in a smaller "insns" than
expected.  In the for (i = 0; i &lt; insnlist.n_insns; i++) {... loop
we would read past the end of the buffer, possibly corrupting memory
as well.
