Commit Message

Eric Engestrom Nov. 12, 2016, 1:12 a.m. UTC
The function's behaviour was changed in 90844f00049e, without changing
its signature, causing people to keep using it the old way without
realising they were now leaking memory.
Rob Clark also noticed it was also allocating GFP_KERNEL memory in
atomic contexts, breaking them.

Instead of having to allocate GFP_ATOMIC memory and fixing the callers
to make them cleanup the memory afterwards, let's change the function's
signature by having the caller take care of the memory and passing it to
the function.
The new parameter is a single-field struct in order to enforce the size
of its buffer and help callers to correctly manage their memory.

Fixes: 90844f00049e ("drm: make drm_get_format_name thread-safe")

v4 - rebase on drm-next (d8c1abd968f1c880ad8c)
   - add missed `const` to the return value

v3 - fix "Fixes" tag, replace it with an actual commit message
   - collect ack & r-b

v2 - use single-field struct instead of typedef to let the compiler
     enforce the type (Christian König)
