Inside drm_is_current_master, using the outer drm_device.master_mutex
to protect reads of drm_file.master makes the function prone to creating
lock hierarchy inversions. Instead, we can use the
drm_file.master_lookup_lock that sits at the bottom of the lock
hierarchy.

Disappointing that lockdep can't check or conditions for us, a
lockdep_assert_held_either would be really neat in some cases.

Adding lockdep folks, maybe they have ideas.

#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
WARN_ON_ONCE(debug_locks && !(lockdep_is_held(&drm_device.master_mutex) ||
lockdep_is_held(&drm_file.master_lookup_lock)));
#endif

doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but should do as you want I
suppose.

Would something like:

#define lockdep_assert(cond) WARN_ON_ONCE(debug_locks && !(cond))

Such that we can write:

lockdep_assert(lockdep_is_held(&drm_device.master_mutex) ||
lockdep_is_held(&drm_file.master_lookup_lock));

make it better ?

Yeah I think that's pretty tidy and flexible.

Desmond, can you pls give this a shot with Peter's patch below?
-Daniel

Sounds good, will do. Thanks for the patch, Peter.

Just going to make a small edit:
s/LOCK_STAT_NOT_HELD/LOCK_STATE_NOT_HELD/

Best wishes,
Desmond

Subject: locking/lockdep: Provide lockdep_assert{,_once}() helpers

Extract lockdep_assert{,_once}() helpers to more easily write composite
assertions like, for example:

lockdep_assert(lockdep_is_held(&drm_device.master_mutex) ||
lockdep_is_held(&drm_file.master_lookup_lock));
