drm: Sanitize DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB input Some drivers erroneously treat the .pitch and .size fields of struct drm_mode_create_dumb as inputs. While the include/uapi/drm/drm_mode.h header has a comment denoting them as outputs, that seemingly wasn't enough to make drivers use them properly. The result is that some userspace doesn't explicitly zero out those fields, assuming that the kernel won't use them. That causes problems since the data within the structure might be uninitialized, so bogus data may end up confusing drivers (ridiculously large values for the pitch, ...). This series attempts to improve the situation by fixing all drivers to not use the output fields. Furthermore to spare new drivers this bad surprise, the DRM core now zeros out these fields prior to handing the data structure to the driver. Lessons learned from this are that future IOCTLs should be properly documented (in the DRM DocBook for example) and should be rigorously defined. To prevent misuse like this, userspace should be required to zero out all output fields. The kernel should check for this and fail if that's not the case. * tag 'drm/gem-cma/for-3.19-rc1' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~tagr/linux: drm/cma: Remove call to drm_gem_free_mmap_offset() drm: Sanitize DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB input drm/rcar: gem: dumb: pitch is an output drm/omap: gem: dumb: pitch is an output drm/cma: Introduce drm_gem_cma_dumb_create_internal() drm/doc: Add GEM/CMA helpers to kerneldoc drm/doc: mm: Fix indentation drm/gem: Fix a few kerneldoc typos
