Currently, it is possible for us to access memory that we shouldn't.
Since, we acquire (possibly dangling) pointers to dirty rectangles
before doing a bounds check to make sure we can actually accommodate the
number of dirty rectangles userspace has requested to fill. This issue
is especially evident if a compositor requests both MPO and damage clips
at the same time, in which case I have observed a soft-hang. So, to
avoid this issue, perform the bounds check before filling a single dirty
rectangle and WARN() about it, if it is ever attempted in
fill_dc_dirty_rect().

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 Restructured Text 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.
