Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Limit the user-space command buffer size
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 51ab70bed997f64f091a639dbe22b629725a7faf upstream.
With older hardware versions, the user could specify arbitrarily large
command buffer sizes, causing a vmalloc / vmap space exhaustion.
