The error checking for drmGetMagic() was missing :-\
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/blob/2bc1f5c2e70fe3b4d41f060af9859bc2a94c5b62/src/egl/drivers/dri2/platform_wayland.c#L1136

One sudo example:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libva/2016-July/004185.html

Note: libva itself doesn't authenticate the DRM client and the
vaGetDisplayDRM documentation doesn't mention if the app should
either.
Fairly neither one does as it - as in the example above.

Typical output when auth handling is missing somewhere in the stack:

Not quite sure what you mean here. Are you interested in what
userspace will work unmodified with vgem, or something else?

Userspace (such as some IGT vgem tests) that uses dumb buffers,
fences, etc yet lacks drm authentication will work.
Admittedly IGT is the first client (or ran as root), so it's
implicitly authenticated - others may not.

Admittedly, I did not search the webs for explicit vgem examples,
although an educated assumption is that people will take the IGT code
as norm.

Agreed. If you prefer I could add an helper, say:

+static inline bool
+drm_is_render_driver_and_ioctl(...)
+{
+  return drm_core_check_feature(dev, DRIVER_RENDER) && (flags &
DRM_RENDER_ALLOW));
+}

[snip]

-     /* AUTH is only for authenticated or render client */
+     /* AUTH is only for authenticated/render capable master or
render client */
      if (unlikely((flags & DRM_AUTH) && !drm_is_render_client(file_priv) &&
-                  !file_priv->authenticated))
+                  !file_priv->authenticated &&
!drm_is_render_driver_and_ioctl(...)))

Smashing thank you. Please let me know if the above information and
links are sufficient.
