[PATCH v3] gpio: cdev: check if uAPI v2 config attributes are correctly zeroed
From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 05:00:14 EST
We check the padding of other uAPI v2 structures but not that of line
config attributes. For used attributes: check if their padding is
zeroed, for unused: check if the entire structure is zeroed.
Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL")

Changes in v3:
- Don't try to check unused attributes if there are none
- Don't reuse the loop iterator from the attribute padding check
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260520-gpio-cdev-attr-padding-check-v2-1-0010daf8059f@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Make checking even stricter: check if padding is zeroed for used
attributes, for unused ones: check if the entire struct is zeroed
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260519-gpio-cdev-attr-padding-check-v1-1-a0c6d4a698bf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
