drm: hollow-out GET_CLIENT ioctl
We not only have debugfs files to do pretty much the equivalent of lsof, we also have an ioctl. Not that compared to lsof this dumps a wee bit more information, but we can still get at that from debugfs easily. I've dug around in mesa, libdrm and ddx histories and the only users seem to be drm/tests/dristat.c and drm/tests/getclients.c. The later is a testcase for the ioctl itself since up to commit b018fcda Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Date: Thu Nov 22 18:46:54 2007 +1000 drm: Make DRM_IOCTL_GET_CLIENT return EINVAL when it can't find client #idx there was actually no way at all for userspace to enumerate all clients since the kernel just wouldn't tell it when to stop. Which completely broke it's only user, dristat -c. So obviously that ioctl wasn't much use for debugging. Hence I don't see any point in keeping support for a tool which was pretty obviously never really used, and while we have good replacements in the form of equivalent debugfs files. Still, to keep dristat -c from looping forever again stop it early by returning an unconditional -EINVAL. Also add a comment in the code about why. v2: Slightly less hollowed-out implementation. libva uses GET_CLIENTS to figure out whether the fd it has is already authenticated or not. So we need to keep that part of things working. Simplest way is to just return one entry to keep va_drm_is_authenticated in libva/va/drm/va_drm_auth.c working. This is exercised by igt/drm_get_client_auth which contains a copypasta of the libva auth check code.
