Subject: drm/vmwgfx: avoid calling vzalloc with a 0 size in vmw_get_cap_3d_ioctl()
From: Murray McAllister <murray.mcallister@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 63774069d9527a1aeaa4aa20e929ef5e8e9ecc38 upstream.
In vmw_get_cap_3d_ioctl(), a user can supply 0 for a size that is
used in vzalloc(). This eventually calls dump_stack() (in warn_alloc()),
which can leak useful addresses to dmesg.
Add check to avoid a size of 0.
