Its protecting drm_file::is_master and drm_minor::master, as per inline
comments. It's also a candidate for replacing
drm_global_mutex to avoid the dropmaster and setmaster ioctls racing
when the drm_global_mutex eventually goes away.

No. DRM locking was added as an after-though, and is a horrendous mess.
Nobody really knows what's protecting what, and that has caused a lot of
grief in the past. Probably most so for the Intel driver that relied
(relies?) on the struct_mutex to protect everything. The
drm_global_mutex is used to serialize the non-lock-audited entry points
into the drm device. The struct_mutex is used for data protection of
most core drm structures and serializing here and there. Modern drivers
have no locks held when entering their ioctls. Also we should not
confuse mutexes and spinlocks in this context, as they have very
different semantics.

Sure. The reworked driver takes the ttm lock in non-exclusive mode
before entering an ioctl. Ioctls will then internally take the
struct_mutex. The dropmaster and setmaster ioctls would (before this
patch) take the struct_mutex and then in the driver code takes the ttm
lock in exclusive mode. We would have a lock inversion and a potential
deadlock.

See above. We can't have a lock in the drm_file structure since it
protects drm_minor data. Also, while it might be possible to restructure
some code to be able to use spinlocks instead of mutexes I see no reason
to. The established locking order now is master_mutex -> ttm_lock ->
struct_mutex which means master_mutex must be a mutex.

Because currently there is only one master capable minor per device, so
it would be equivalent. And even if there were more, there is no reason
to expect any contention and thus a single master_mutex would be fine.

Well, it was held at that point before, and the purpose of this patch is
not to generally clean up struct_mutex usage.
