Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm: add lockdep assert to drm_is_current_master_locked

In drm_is_current_master_locked, accessing drm_file.master should be
protected by either drm_file.master_lookup_lock or
drm_device.master_mutex. This was previously awkward to assert with
lockdep.

Following patch ("locking/lockdep: Provide lockdep_assert{,_once}()
helpers"), this assertion is now convenient so we add it in.

I think it's better to also add the lockdep_assert() of & (i.e. both
held) in the updater side, and have comments pointing to each other.

Is it convenient to do in this patchset? If the updater side doesn't
need to put the lockdep_assert() (maybe the lock acquire code and the
update code are in the same function), it's still better to add some
comments like:

/*
* To update drm_file.master, both drm_file.master_lookup_lock
* and drm_device.master_mutex are needed, therefore holding
* either of them is safe and enough for the read side.
*/

Just feel it's better to explain the lock design either in the
lockdep_assert() or comments.

Thanks for the feedback, Boqun.

Yeah, I think the updater side maybe doesn't need new lockdep_assert()
because what currently happens is either

lockdep_assert_held_once(&dev->master_mutex);
/* 6 lines of prep */
spin_lock(&fpriv->master_lookup_lock);
fpriv->master = new_value;
or
mutex_lock(&dev->master_mutex);
/* 3 lines of checks */
spin_lock(&file_priv->master_lookup_lock);
file_priv->master = new_value;

But clarifying the lock design in the documentation sounds like a really
good idea.

Probably a good place for this would be in the kerneldoc where we also
explain the lifetime rules and usage of the pointer outside drm_auth.c:

diff --git a/include/drm/drm_file.h b/include/drm/drm_file.h
index 726cfe0ff5f5..a3acb7ac3550 100644
--- a/include/drm/drm_file.h
+++ b/include/drm/drm_file.h
@@ -233,6 +233,10 @@ struct drm_file {
* this only matches &drm_device.master if the master is the currently
* active one.
*
+ * To update @master, both &drm_device.master_mutex and
+ * @master_lookup_lock need to be held, therefore holding either of
+ * them is safe and enough for the read side.
+ *
* When dereferencing this pointer, either hold struct
* &drm_device.master_mutex for the duration of the pointer's use, or
* use drm_file_get_master() if struct &drm_device.master_mutex is not

Best wishes,
Desmond

Works for me ;-)
