Subject: [PATCH] drm: never write to the userspace more data than the caller wants
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 20:12:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131017001235.3077.92963.stgit@IRBT4585> (raw)

The amount of data wanted by the userspace caller is encoded in the
ioctl number.  Generic drm ioctls were ignoring it.

As a result, Intel Xorg driver didn't work for i386 userspace on x86_64
kernel on some systems.  sizeof(struct drm_mode_get_connector) is 76
bytes on i686 and 80 bytes on x86_64 due to the tail alignment (the data
positions match).  The userspace was using the 4 bytes after the
structure to hold the result of the ioctl.  Since drm_ioctl() was
copying 80 bytes instead of 76, it was clobbering that data.

A workaround has been committed to xf86-video-intel.
