* [PATCH v3] misc: fastrpc: fix improper packet size calculation

The buffer list is sorted and this is not being considered while
calculating packet size. This would lead to improper copy length
calculation for non-dmaheap buffers which would eventually cause
sending improper buffers to DSP.

Changes in v3:
- relocate patch change list

Changes in v2:
- updated commit message to proper format
- added fixes tag to commit message
- removed unnecessary variable initialization
- removed length check during payload calculation

Does this also need to go to the stable kernels?

What does "oix" stand for?  What was wrong with i?

Yes, this needs to go to stable kernels also as this fixes a potential 
issue which is easily reproducible.

It is just a general convention we use. "oix" is used to iterate through 
sorted overlap buffer list and use "i" to get corresponding unsorted 
list index. We follow the same convention at other places also, for 
example: fastrpc_get_args function.

That is the only place it is used in all of the whole kernel tree.  It
is not a normal variable for a loop, so who is "we" here?

The convention was followed for the same file(fastrpc.c). As part of 
fastrpc_get_args
function, while iterating through sorted buffer list, oix is used as 
index and to
get unsorted index "raix", it is using "i". Just following the same way 
here to
have better understanding. Please let me know if this is a concern, it 
can be updated
to "i", "j" etc.

Released in what way?

I do not see it in any tree anywhere, perhaps it needs to be resubmitted
to be accepted?
