Hi, This series contains some improvements that Daniel Vetter proposed following a discussion on a recent series: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210712043508.11584-1-desmondcheongzx@xxxxxxxxx/ While preparing these patches, I also noticed some unprotected uses of drm_master in the vmwgfx driver that can be addressed by new functions from the previous series. This series is thus broken up into three patches: 1. Switch from the outer drm_device.master_mutex to the inner drm_file.master_lookup_lock in drm_is_current_master. 2. Update the kerneldoc for lease fields in drm_master to clarify lifetime/locking rules. 3. Prevent potential use-after-free bugs by replacing calls to drm_master_get with drm_file_get_master in vmwgfx_surface.c. Best wishes, Desmond Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi (3): drm: use the lookup lock in drm_is_current_master drm: clarify lifetime/locking for drm_master's lease fields drm/vmwgfx: fix potential UAF in vmwgfx_surface.c drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c | 9 ++-- drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c | 4 +- include/drm/drm_auth.h | 62 ++++++++++++++++++++----- 3 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1 _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
