We link every DRM "file_priv" to a "drm_master" structure. Currently, the drmSetMaster() call returns 0 when there is _any_ active master associated with the "drm_master" structure of the calling "file_priv". This means, that after drmSetMaster() we are not guaranteed to be DRM-Master and might not be able to perform mode-setting. A way to reproduce this is by starting weston with the DRM backend from within an X-console (eg., xterm). Because the xserver's "drm_master" is currently active, weston is assigned to the same master but is inactive because its VT is inactive and the xserver is still active. But when "fake-activating" weston, it calls drmSetMaster(). With current behavior this returns "0/success" and weston thinks that it is DRM-Master, even though it is not (as the xserver is still DRM-Master). Expected behavior would be drmSetMaster() to return -EINVAL, because the xserver is still DRM-Master. This patch changes exactly that. The only way this bogus behavior would be useful is for clients to check whether their associated "drm_master" is currently the active DRM-Master. But this logic fails if no DRM-Master is currently active at all. Because then the client itself would become DRM-Master (if it is root) and this makes this whole thing useles. Also note that the second "if-condition": file_priv->minor->master != file_priv->master is always true and can be skipped.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
