commit81cc73be40upstream. In fb_io_read(), if copy_to_user() performs a partial copy (e.g., due to a faulty user buffer), the loop adjusts the chunk size 'c' and updates the remaining 'count'. However, the hardware 'src' pointer has already been eagerly advanced by the original chunk size. If the loop is allowed to continue, the read will resume from an incorrect, over-advanced offset. Since the remaining 'count' was only decremented by the successful bytes, this desynchronization causes the next iterations to execute more hardware reads than originally bounded, eventually leading to out-of-bounds I/O reads. Fix this by breaking out of the loop immediately upon a partial copy_to_user(). A partial copy indicates a faulty user buffer, making subsequent read attempts futile. Breaking out ensures we return the number of successfully read bytes without risking out-of-bounds hardware accesses in subsequent mismatched iterations.

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.
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.
