mainlining shenanigans
c01c348ecd
Some drivers (such as the vub300 MMC driver) expect usb_string() to return a properly NUL-terminated string, even when an error occurs. (In fact, vub300's probe routine doesn't bother to check the return code from usb_string().) When the driver goes on to use an unterminated string, it leads to kernel errors such as stack-out-of-bounds, as found by the syzkaller USB fuzzer. An out-of-range string index argument is not at all unlikely, given that some devices don't provide string descriptors and therefore list 0 as the value for their string indexes. This patch makes usb_string() return a properly terminated empty string along with the -EINVAL error code when an out-of-range index is encountered. And since a USB string index is a single-byte value, indexes >= 256 are just as invalid as values of 0 or below.

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.
