Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.6 060/129] um: ubd: Prevent buffer overrun on command completion

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@...labora.com>

[ Upstream commit 6e682d53fc1ef73a169e2a5300326cb23abb32ee ]

On the hypervisor side, when completing commands and the pipe is full,
we retry writing only the entries that failed, by offsetting
io_req_buffer, but we don't reduce the number of bytes written, which
can cause a buffer overrun of io_req_buffer, and write garbage to the
pipe.
