I've done an audit of this code, and I found another potential problem in drm_is_current_master. The callers from drm_auth.c hold the dev->master_mutex, but all the external ones dont. I think we need to split this into a _locked function for use within drm_auth.c, and the exported one needs to grab the dev->master_mutex while it's checking master status. Ofc there will still be races, those are ok, but right now we run the risk of use-after free problems in drm_lease_owner. Are you up to do that fix too? I think the drm_lease.c code also needs an audit, there we'd need to make sure that we hold hold either the lock or a full master reference to avoid the use-after-free issues here.
