Subject: [PATCH 0/3] scsi: qedf: sanitise uaccess

qedf driver, debugfs part of it specifically, touches __user pointers
directly for printing out info to userspace via sprintf(), which may
cause crash like this:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00007ffd1d6b43a0
IP: [<ffffffffaa7a882a>] string.isra.7+0x6a/0xf0
Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffffaa7a9f31>] vsnprintf+0x201/0x6a0
 [<ffffffffaa7aa556>] sprintf+0x56/0x80
 [<ffffffffc04227ed>] qedf_dbg_stop_io_on_error_cmd_read+0x6d/0x90 [qedf]
 [<ffffffffaa65bb2f>] vfs_read+0x9f/0x170
 [<ffffffffaa65cb82>] SyS_pread64+0x92/0xc0

Avoid this by preparing the info in a kernel buffer first, either
allocated on stack for small printouts, or via vmalloc() for big ones,
and then copying it to the userspace properly.

Previous submission is an RFC: [1]. There are no code changes since
then. The RFC prefix is dropped. The Tested-by tag from Laurence is
added.

There's similar submission from Saurav [2], but we agreed I could nack
it and proceed with my one.
