So I read core some more and stumbled over drm_fb_helper_deferred_io().
Which has all the code and comments about this, including limiting.

I think it would be clearer if we fix the issue there, instead of passing
limits around in obscure places that then again get broken? The thing is,
Thomas both authored the limit checks in drm_fb_helper_deferred_io() and
the patch which broken them again, so clearly this isn't very obvious. I'm
thinking of something like this:


diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c
index ef4eb8b12766..726dab67c359 100644

 	max_off = min(max_off, total_size);
 
 	if (min_off < max_off) {


I think that would make it utmost clear on what we're doing and why.
Otherwise we're just going to re-create the same bug again, like we've
done already :-)
