Alan Stern faab50984f USB: gadgetfs: fix unbounded memory allocation bug
Andrey Konovalov reports that fuzz testing with syzkaller causes a
KASAN warning in gadgetfs:

Indeed, there is a comment saying that the value of len is restricted
to a 16-bit integer, but the code doesn't actually do this.

This patch fixes the warning.  It replaces the comment with a
computation that forces the amount of data copied from the user in
ep0_write() to be no larger than the wLength size for the control
transfer, which is a 16-bit quantity.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
