HID: picolcd: clamp eeprom debugfs read to bytes actually received
This commit fixes an out-of-bounds slab read in picolcd_debug_eeprom_read()
by correctly clamping the copy length to the received payload size.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential use-after-free in the
probe error path.
If a USB device continuously sends interrupt IN packets to trigger
picolcd_raw_event() while intentionally failing device initialization, could
this cause a race condition?
In drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c:picolcd_probe_lcd(), the probe error
handler destroys the cir and keys objects while the HID device is still open:
err:
picolcd_exit_leds(data);
picolcd_exit_framebuffer(data);
picolcd_exit_backlight(data);
picolcd_exit_lcd(data);
picolcd_exit_cir(data);
picolcd_exit_keys(data);
return error;
Because hid_hw_close() isn't called until later, picolcd_raw_event() can
concurrently dereference the freed data->rc_dev pointer outside of the
spinlock in drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_cir.c:picolcd_raw_cir():
spin_lock_irqsave(&data->lock, flags);
if (!data->rc_dev || (data->status & PICOLCD_CIR_SHUN)) {
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&data->lock, flags);
return 1;
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&data->lock, flags);
// ... [IR data processing] ...
ir_raw_event_store(data->rc_dev, &rawir);
The same timing issue appears to apply to data->input_keys, which is accessed
locklessly in drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c:picolcd_raw_keypad():
input_event(data->input_keys, EV_MSC, MSC_SCAN, raw_data[i]);
if (raw_data[i] < PICOLCD_KEYS)
key_code = data->keycode[raw_data[i]];
Could this allow concurrent events to use these pointers after they are freed
by picolcd_exit_cir() and picolcd_exit_keys()?
