Hi!
commit e7b931bee739e8a77ae216e613d3b99342b6dec0 upstream.
The driver would happily overwrite its write buffer with user data in 256 byte increments due to a removed buffer-space sanity check.

Ok, so... goto and label is unneccessary, memcpy will do the right thing with count == 0.
That's generally too subtle. Better to clearly mark the error/exception path.
We usually avoid subtle code by introducing comments, not by introducing extra (and confusing) code that can not be optimized out.
