This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: Fix divide-by-zero for DIO cmdtest

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Ian Abbott abbotti@mev.co.uk Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2019 14:33:54 +0000 Subject: staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: Fix divide-by-zero for DIO cmdtest

`ni_cdio_cmdtest()` validates Comedi asynchronous commands for the DIO subdevice (subdevice 2) of supported National Instruments M-series cards. It is called when handling the `COMEDI_CMD` and `COMEDI_CMDTEST` ioctls for this subdevice. There are two causes for a possible divide-by-zero error when validating that the `stop_arg` member of the passed-in command is not too large.

The first cause for the divide-by-zero is that calls to `comedi_bytes_per_scan()` are only valid once the command has been copied to `s->async->cmd`, but that copy is only done for the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl. For the `COMEDI_CMDTEST` ioctl, it will use whatever was left there by the previous `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl, if any. (This is very likely, as it is usual for the application to use `COMEDI_CMDTEST` before `COMEDI_CMD`.) If there has been no previous, valid `COMEDI_CMD` for this subdevice, then `comedi_bytes_per_scan()` will return 0, so the subsequent division in `ni_cdio_cmdtest()` of `s->async->prealloc_bufsz / comedi_bytes_per_scan(s)` will be a divide-by-zero error. To fix this error, call a new function `comedi_bytes_per_scan_cmd(s, cmd)`, based on the existing `comedi_bytes_per_scan(s)` but using a specified `struct comedi_cmd` for its calculations. (Also refactor `comedi_bytes_per_scan()` to call the new function.)

Once the first cause for the divide-by-zero has been fixed, the second cause is that `comedi_bytes_per_scan_cmd()` can legitimately return 0 if the `scan_end_arg` member of the `struct comedi_cmd` being tested is 0. Fix it by only performing the division (and validating that `stop_arg` is no more than the maximum value) if `comedi_bytes_per_scan_cmd()` returns a non-zero value.

The problem was reported on the COMEDI mailing list here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/comedi_list/4t9WlHzMhKM
