KASAN reports a use-after-free during startup, in mei_cl_write:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mei_cl_write+0x601/0x870 [mei]
(drivers/misc/mei/client.c:1770)
This is caused by commit 98e70866aacb ("mei: add support for variable
length mei headers."), which changed the return value from len, to
buf->size. That ends up using a stale buf pointer, because blocking
call, the cb (callback) is deleted in me_cl_complete() function.
However, fortunately, len remains unchanged throughout the function
(and I don't see anything else that would require re-reading buf->size
either), so the fix is to simply revert the change, and return len, as
before.
Fixes: 98e70866aacb ("mei: add support for variable length mei headers.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
