[ Upstream commit 7c919b619b ]
When noevents is true and small buffer is used the allocated memory for
holding the data may be smaller than the hard-coded 64 bytes. This can
cause the iio_generic_buffer to crash.
Following was recorded on beagle bone black with v6.0 kernel and the
digit fix patch:

Fix this by always using the same size for reading as was used for
data storage allocation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
