Chris Wilson 7c51846030 drm/i915: Pevent copying uninitialised garbage into vma->ggtt_view
Since tweaking i915_vma_compare() we allowed constructors to skip
clearing the ggtt_view believing that we didn't access the unused
members. That, as it turns out, was not entirely true. In particular,
i915_gem_fault() uses

    ret = remap_io_mapping(area,
	    area->vm_start + (vma->ggtt_view.partial.offset << PAGE_SHIFT),
	    (ggtt->mappable_base + vma->node.start) >> PAGE_SHIFT,
	    min_t(u64, vma->size, area->vm_end - area->vm_start),
	    &ggtt->mappable);

i.e. the ggtt_view.partial for both normal and partial views. If we
allowed garbage into the normal vma->ggtt_view and then try userspace
tried to mmap it, we could explode in an unobvious fashion.

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.
