+Subject: comedi: Fail COMEDI_INSNLIST ioctl if n_insns is too large
+To: stable@vger.kernel.org

+[ Upstream commit 08ae4b20f5e82101d77326ecab9089e110f224cc ]
+
+The handling of the `COMEDI_INSNLIST` ioctl allocates a kernel buffer to
+hold the array of `struct comedi_insn`, getting the length from the
+`n_insns` member of the `struct comedi_insnlist` supplied by the user.
+The allocation will fail with a WARNING and a stack dump if it is too
+large.
+
+Avoid that by failing with an `-EINVAL` error if the supplied `n_insns`
+value is unreasonable.
+
+Define the limit on the `n_insns` value in the `MAX_INSNS` macro. Set
+this to the same value as `MAX_SAMPLES` (65536), which is the maximum
+allowed sum of the values of the member `n` in the array of `struct
+comedi_insn`, and sensible comedi instructions will have an `n` of at
+least 1.
