3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sinclair Yeh <syeh@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 07678eca2cf9c9a18584e546c2b2a0d0c9a3150c upstream. When vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl() is called with an existing buffer, we end up returning an uninitialized variable in the backup_handle. The fix is to first initialize backup_handle to 0 just to be sure, and second, when a user-provided buffer is found, we will use the req->buffer_handle as the backup_handle.
