With later commit we'll rework DRM authentication handling. Namely DRM_AUTH will not be a requirement for DRM_RENDER_ALLOW ioctls. Since vmwgfx does isolation for primary clients in different master realms, the DRM_AUTH can be dropped. The only place where authentication matters, is surface_reference ioctls whenever a legacy (non-prime) handle is used. For those ioctls we call vmw_surface_handle_reference(), where we explicitly check if the client is both a) master and b) unauthenticated - bailing out as result. Otherwise the usual isolation path kicks in and we're all good. v2: Reword commit message, since the isolation work has landed.

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.
