So there's another one now because master->leases is protected by the mode_config.idr_mutex, and that's a bit awkward to untangle. Also I'm really surprised that there was now lockdep through the atomic code anywhere. The reason seems to be that somehow CI reboot first before it managed to run any of the kms_atomic tests, and we can only hit this when we go through the atomic kms ioctl, the legacy kms ioctl don't have that specific issue. Anyway I think this approach doesn't look too workable, and we need something new. But first things first: Are you still on board working on this? You started with a simple patch to fix a UAF bug, now we're deep into reworking tricky locking ... If you feel like you want out I'm totally fine with that. Anyway, I think we need to split drm_device->master_mutex up into two parts: - One part that protects the actual access/changes, which I think for simplicity we'll just leave as the current lock. That lock is a very inner lock, since for the drm_lease.c stuff it has to nest within mode_config.idr_mutex even. - Now the issue with checking master status/leases/whatever as an innermost lock is that you can race, it's a classic time of check vs time of use race: By the time we actually use the thing we validate we'er allowed to use, we might now have access anymore. There's two reasons for that: * DROPMASTER ioctl could remove the master rights, which removes access rights also for all leases * REVOKE_LEASE ioctl can do the same but only for a specific lease This is the thing we're trying to protect against in fbcon code, but that's very spotty protection because all the ioctls by other users aren't actually protected against this. So I think for this we need some kind of big reader lock. Now for the implementation, there's a few things: - I think best option for this big reader lock would be to just use srcu. We only need to flush out all current readers when we drop master or revoke a lease, so synchronize_srcu is perfectly good enough for this purpose. - The fbdev code would switch over to srcu in drm_master_internal_acquire() and drm_master_internal_release(). Ofc within drm_master_internal_acquire we'd still need to check master status with the normal master_mutex. - While we revamp all this we should fix the ioctl checks in drm_ioctl.c. Just noticed that drm_ioctl_permit() could and should be unexported, last user was removed. Within drm_ioctl_kernel we'd then replace the check for drm_is_current_master with the drm_master_internal_acquire/release. - This alone does nothing, we still need to make sure that dropmaster and revoke_lease ioctl flush out all other access before they return to userspace. We can't just call synchronize_srcu because due to the ioctl code in drm_ioctl_kernel we're in that sruc section, we'd need to add a DRM_MASTER_FLUSH ioctl flag which we'd check only when DRM_MASTER is set, and use to call synchronize_srcu. Maybe wrap that in a drm_master_flush or so, or perhaps a drm_master_internal_release_flush. - Also maybe we should drop the _internal_ from that name. Feels a bit wrong when we're also going to use this in the ioctl handler. Thoughts? Totally silly and overkill? Cheers, Daniel > Changes in v5 -> v6: > - Patch 2: > Add patch 2 to the series.

The changes in patch 1 do not apply to stable because they apply to new changes in the drm-misc-next branch.
