Hi, all! There's an odd master inheritance going on in drm. Consider the following scenario. 1) Xorg opens DRM. Becomes master. 2) Plymouthd opens a file descriptor to drm. 3) Xorg exits. 4) Plymouthd calls drmSetMaster(). At this point it actually inherits Xorg's master structure and all authenticated clients. 5) vmwgfx dislikes this and throws a BUG(). I can of course fix vmwgfx up to not throw a bug in this case, but I figure this behavior is not really what we want, so I'd like to fix the root cause as well, As I see it, we have two options. A) If the client is authenticated with the master we allow the above behaviour as a way to change master role in a master realm. If the client is not authenticated, like Plymouthd in this case, we create a new master structure for Plymouthd. B) This behaviour is not allowed at all. We always create a new master structure when this happens. Opinions?
