Meng Xu e1af344df4 ALSA: asihpi: fix a potential double-fetch bug when copying puhm
The hm->h.size is intended to hold the actual size of the hm struct
that is copied from userspace and should always be <= sizeof(*hm).

However, after copy_from_user(hm, puhm, hm->h.size), since userspace
process has full control over the memory region pointed by puhm, it is
possible that the value of hm->h.size is different from what is fetched-in
previously (get_user(hm->h.size, (u16 __user *)puhm)). In other words,
hm->h.size is overriden and the relation between hm->h.size and the hm
struct is broken.

This patch proposes to use a seperate variable, msg_size, to hold
the value of the first fetch and override hm->h.size to msg_size
after the second fetch to maintain the relation.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
