[PATCH v3] drm/ioctl: Add a ioctl to label GEM objects

Hi Rohan

First of all, I'm not in a position to merge new ioctls, so take my 
review with a grain of salt. You should get a review from one of the DRM 
maintainers. If no one shows up, ping danvet on IRC.

The code says DRM_IOCTL_GEM_SET_LABEL.

I'd appreciate pointers to an actual user-space application that makes 
use of this functionality; or at least a prototype. We should not merge 
ioctls that have no users. You should also wire-up at least one driver, 
so that the code has an internal user.

There's no generic ioctl interface for creating BOs in DRM. The closes 
thing is dumb buffers, which return plain, unaccelerated framebuffers. 
Drivers that want more have to provide their own ioctls.

Therefore, I don't think that this ioctl should be specific to GEM 
buffer objects. Maybe make it a dump-buffer interface that defaults to 
the GEM implementation, see drm_mode_mmap_dumb_ioctl [1] for an example. 
Drivers with more sophisticated buffer objects can add their own ioctls 
for labeling.

This function should be the default for dev->driver->label; similar to [1].

Call drm_gem_adopt_label() directly here. Using a callback from struct 
drm_driver is not the right level of abstraction at this point.

The adopt function doesn't really need len, so please leave it out. The 
value of label is NULL or the new label string. That should be all that 
this function needs.

Please split this branch into two. If gem_obj->label is set, you always 
want to kfree the memory. Afterwards, assign the label's new value. How 
can a caller clear the label.

You're exporting a static function.

Please also don't use len and simply call kstrdup().

As mentioned, I'd rather use DRM_IOCTL_MODE_LABEL_DUMP that labels a 
dumb buffer.
