stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.138 commit 76f3b97e56c69fc6ebce492a825befd311e57c4d category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I60QFD
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 45e1058b77feade4e36402828bfe3e0d3363177b upstream.
The call to:
ret = simple_write_to_buffer(buf, size, offp, ubuf, size);
will return success if it is able to write even one byte to "buf". The value of "*offp" controls which byte. This could result in reading uninitialized data when we do the sscanf() on the next line.
This code is not really desigined to handle partial writes where *offp is non-zero and the "buf" is preserved and re-used between writes. Just ban partial writes and replace the simple_write_to_buffer() with copy_from_user().
