[Why] Userspace should get back a copy of drm_wait_vblank that's been modified even when drm_wait_vblank_ioctl returns a failure. Rationale: drm_wait_vblank_ioctl modifies the request and expects the user to read it back. When the type is RELATIVE, it modifies it to ABSOLUTE and updates the sequence to become current_vblank_count + sequence (which was RELATIVE), but now it became ABSOLUTE. drmWaitVBlank (in libdrm) expects this to be the case as it modifies the request to be Absolute so it expects the sequence to would have been updated. The change is in compat_drm_wait_vblank, which is called by drm_compat_ioctl. This change of copying the data back regardless of the return number makes it en par with drm_ioctl, which always copies the data before returning. [How] Return from the function after everything has been copied to user.

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.
