[PATCH 3.16 074/366] iio:buffer: make length types match kfifo types

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Oct 14 2018 - 11:42:08 EST


3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Kelly <mkelly@xxxxxxxx>

commit c043ec1ca5baae63726aae32abbe003192bc6eec upstream.

Currently, we use int for buffer length and bytes_per_datum. However,
kfifo uses unsigned int for length and size_t for element size. We need
to make sure these matches or we will have bugs related to overflow (in
the range between INT_MAX and UINT_MAX for length, for example).

In addition, set_bytes_per_datum uses size_t while bytes_per_datum is an
int, which would cause bugs for large values of bytes_per_datum.

Change buffer length to use unsigned int and bytes_per_datum to use
size_t.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Drop change in iio_dma_buffer_set_length()
- Adjust filenames, context]
