While checking the master status of the DRM file in drm_is_current_master(), the device's master mutex should be held. Without the mutex, the pointer fpriv->master may be freed concurrently by another process calling drm_setmaster_ioctl(). This could lead to use-after-free errors when the pointer is subsequently dereferenced in drm_lease_owner(). The callers of drm_is_current_master() from drm_auth.c hold the device's master mutex, but external callers do not. Hence, we implement drm_is_current_master_locked() to be used within drm_auth.c, and modify drm_is_current_master() to grab the device's master mutex before checking the master status.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
