Sometimes spidev_test crashes with:

    *** Error in `spidev_test': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00022020 ***
    Aborted

or just

    Segmentation fault

This is due to transfer_escaped_string() miscalculating the required
size of the buffer by one byte, causing a buffer overflow in unescape().

Drop the bogus "+ 1" in the strlen() parameter to fix this.

Note that unescape() never copies the zero-terminator of the source
string, so it writes at most as many bytes as the length of the source
string.

v2:
  - As unescape() doesn't copy the zero-terminator, it's an off-by-one
    not off-by-two bug, and the "+ 1" should just be dropped.

The bug is present in all kernel sources since v4.1, but in v4.5 the
code was changed, and the source file was moved.

The fix for older kernels is straight-forward, there's only a single
strlen() call in Documentation/spi/spidev_test.c:

	-	size = strlen(input_tx+1);
	+	size = strlen(input_tx);

If you want, I can send a patch against v4.4 (for v4.1..v4.4) later.

* Applied "spi: spidev_test: Fix buffer overflow in unescape()" to the spi tree

The patch

   spi: spidev_test: Fix buffer overflow in unescape()

has been applied to the spi tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
