Julian Orth 7196a1ff7b drm/syncobj: Fix handle <-> fd ioctls with dirty stack
[ Upstream commit 2e3649e237 ]

Consider the following application:

    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <drm/drm.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>

    int main(void) {
        int fd = open("/dev/dri/renderD128", O_RDWR);
        struct drm_syncobj_create arg1;
        ioctl(fd, DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_CREATE, &arg1);
        struct drm_syncobj_handle arg2;
        memset(&arg2, 1, sizeof(arg2)); // simulate dirty stack
        arg2.handle = arg1.handle;
        arg2.flags = 0;
        arg2.fd = 0;
        arg2.pad = 0;
        // arg2.point = 0; // userspace is required to set point to 0
        ioctl(fd, DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_HANDLE_TO_FD, &arg2);
    }

The last ioctl returns EINVAL because args->point is not 0. However,
userspace developed against older kernel versions is not aware of the
new point field and might therefore not initialize it.

The correct check would be

    if (args->flags & DRM_SYNCOBJ_FD_TO_HANDLE_FLAGS_TIMELINE)
        return -EINVAL;

However, there might already be userspace that relies on this not
returning an error as long as point == 0. Therefore use the more lenient
check.

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 reStructuredText 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.
