Giving the opportunity to userspace to associate a free-form name with a drm_file struct is helpful for tracking and debugging. This is similar to the existing DMA_BUF_SET_NAME ioctl. Access to client_name is protected by a mutex, and the 'clients' debugfs file has been updated to print it. Userspace MR to use this ioctl: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/virgl/virglrenderer/-/merge_requests/1428 If the string passed by userspace contains chars that would mess up output when it's going to be printed (in dmesg, fdinfo, etc), -EINVAL is returned. A 0-length string is a valid use, and clears the existing name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
