When vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl() is called with an existing buffer, we end up returning an uninitialized variable in the backup_handle. The fix is to first initialize backup_handle to 0 just to be sure, and second, when a user-provided buffer is found, we will use the req->buffer_handle as the backup_handle.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
