[PATCH] gpio: cdev: check if padding of uAPI v2 line config attributes is zeroed

[PATCH] gpio: cdev: check if padding of uAPI v2 line config attributes is zeroed

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

We check the padding of other uAPI v2 structures but not that of line
config attributes. Add the missing check.

Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL")

To be really pedantic, how about checking that all the unused attrs are zeroed?
With the loop here reduced to checking the padding of the used attrs.

Also, the attr padding is a u32, so is mem_is_zero() is overkill?

Cheers,
Kent.

The intention is a bit more clearer this way IMO but I'm not going to
die on this hill. I can change it in v2.
