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

iio:adc:ti-adc12138 Fix alignment issue with timestamp

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-testing 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 be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

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

From: Jonathan Cameron Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:51:01 +0100 Subject: iio:adc:ti-adc12138 Fix alignment issue with timestamp

One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review. iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes). This is not guaranteed in this driver which uses an array of smaller elements on the stack.

We move to a suitable structure in the iio_priv() data with alignment explicitly requested. This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak apart from previous readings. Note that previously no leak at all could occur, but previous readings should never be a problem.

In this case the timestamp location depends on what other channels are enabled. As such we can't use a structure without misleading by suggesting only one possible timestamp location.
