2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Kees Cook <[email protected]> commit 3ed780117dbe5acb64280d218f0347f238dafed0 upstream. If the iowarrior devices in this case statement support more than 8 bytes per report, it is possible to write past the end of a kernel heap allocation. This will probably never be possible, but change the allocation to be more defensive anyway.
