[PATCH v3 2/2] drm/tyr: allow userspace buffers to be mismatched

From: Deborah Brouwer

Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 16:46:38 EST


Allow userspace to provide a buffer that is smaller or larger than the
object that the kernel expects to write into it.

Set a minimum buffer size to match those in PANTHOR_UOBJ_MIN_SIZE. If
userspace provides at least the minimum buffer size, then simply write
until the buffer is full.

If userspace provides a larger buffer than necessary, then zero out the
remaining buffer.

This ensures UAPI compatibility with Panthor.
