Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mtdchar_write_ioctl(): prevent integer overflow, use kvmalloc()

This patch series addresses two flaws in mtdchar_write_ioctl() found by
Richard Weinberger while he was reviewing v3 of the patch series
proposing a new MEMREAD ioctl [1].

Richard, I included a Suggested-by tag crediting you in both of the
patches in this series.  I hope that is okay with you, but please let me
know if it isn't.

Once this patch series is reviewed and accepted, I will apply similar
fixes in v4 of the MEMREAD ioctl patch series.

  mtdchar: prevent integer overflow in a safety check
  mtdchar: use kvmalloc() for potentially large allocations
