Subject: [PATCH] drm/vc4: Add a pad field to align drm_vc4_submit_cl to 64 bits.
Date:   Mon, 30 Apr 2018 16:59:27 -0700
Message-Id: <20180430235927.28712-1-eric@anholt.net>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

I had originally asked Stefan Schake to drop the pad field from the
syncobj changes that just landed, because I couldn't come up with a
reason to align to 64 bits.

Talking with Dave Airlie about the new v3d driver's submit ioctl, we
came up with a reason: sizeof() on 64-bit platforms may align to 64
bits, in which case the userspace will be submitting the aligned size
and the final 32 bits won't be zero-padded by the kernel.  If
userspace doesn't zero-fill, then a future ABI change adding a 32-bit
field at the end could potentially cause the kernel to read undefined
data from old userspace (our userspace happens to use structure
initialization that zero-fills, but as a general rule we try not to
rely on that in the kernel).

danvet, could you update the "Botching up IOCTLs" post with this
explanation for why we need struct size alignment for non-array
structs?
