That ends up using a stale buf pointer, because blocking call, the cb (callback) is deleted in me_cl_complete() function. However, fortunately, len remains unchanged throughout the function (and I don't see anything else that would require re-reading buf->size either), so the fix is to simply revert the change, and return len, as before. Fixes: 98e70866aacb ("mei: add support for variable length mei headers.")
