DRM drivers really, really, really don't want random userspace to share buffer behind it's back, bypassing the dma-buf buffer sharing machanism. For that reason we've ruthlessly rejected any IOCTL exposing the physical address of any graphics buffer. Unfortunately fbdev comes with that built-in. We could just set smem_start to 0, but that means we'd have to hand-roll our own fb_mmap implementation. For good reasons many drivers do that, but smem_start/length is still super convenient. Hence instead just stop the leak in the ioctl, to keep fb mmap working as-is. A second patch will set this flag for all drm drivers.

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.
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.
