drm: clarify usage of drm leases
We make the following changes to the documentation of drm leases to make it easier to reason about their usage. In particular, we clarify the lifetime and locking rules of lease fields in drm_master: 1. Make it clear that &drm_device.mode_config.idr_mutex protects the lease idr and list structures for drm_master. The lessor field itself doesn't need to be protected as it doesn't change after it's set in drm_lease_create. 2. Add descriptions for the lifetime of lessors and leases. 3. Add an overview DOC: section in drm-uapi.rst that defines the terminology for drm leasing, and explains how leases work and why they're used.

/**
|

* DOC: drm leasing
|
||||
*
|
||||
* DRM leases provide information about whether a DRM master may control a DRM
|
||||
* mode setting object. This enables the creation of multiple DRM masters that
|
||||
* manage subsets of display resources.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The original DRM master of a device 'owns' the available drm resources. It
|
||||
* may create additional DRM masters and 'lease' resources which it controls
|
||||
* to the new DRM master. This gives the new DRM master control over the
|
||||
* leased resources until the owner revokes the lease, or the new DRM master
|
||||
* is closed. Some helpful terminology:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - An 'owner' is a &struct drm_master that is not leasing objects from
|
||||
* another &struct drm_master, and hence 'owns' the objects. The owner can be
|
||||
* identified as the &struct drm_master for which &drm_master.lessor is NULL.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - A 'lessor' is a &struct drm_master which is leasing objects to one or more
|
||||
* other &struct drm_master. Currently, lessees are not allowed to
|
||||
* create sub-leases, hence the lessor is the same as the owner.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - A 'lessee' is a &struct drm_master which is leasing objects from some
|
||||
* other &struct drm_master. Each lessee only leases resources from a single
|
||||
* lessor recorded in &drm_master.lessor, and holds the set of objects that
|
||||
* it is leasing in &drm_master.leases.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - A 'lease' is a contract between the lessor and lessee that identifies
|
||||
* which resources may be controlled by the lessee. All of the resources
|
||||
* that are leased must be owned by or leased to the lessor, and lessors are
|
||||
* not permitted to lease the same object to multiple lessees.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The set of objects any &struct drm_master 'controls' is limited to the set
|
||||
* of objects it leases (for lessees) or all objects (for owners).
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Objects not controlled by a &struct drm_master cannot be modified through
|
||||
* the various state manipulating ioctls, and any state reported back to user
|
||||
* space will be edited to make them appear idle and/or unusable. For
|
||||
* instance, connectors always report 'disconnected', while encoders
|
||||
* report no possible crtcs or clones.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Since each lessee may lease objects from a single lessor, display resource
|
||||
* leases form a tree of &struct drm_master. As lessees are currently not
|
||||
* allowed to create sub-leases, the tree depth is limited to 1. All of
|
||||
* these get activated simultaneously when the top level device owner changes
|
||||
* through the SETMASTER or DROPMASTER IOCTL, so &drm_device.master points to
|
||||
* the owner at the top of the lease tree (i.e. the &struct drm_master for which
|
||||
* &drm_master.lessor is NULL). The full list of lessees that are leasing
|
||||
* objects from the owner can be searched via the owner's
|
||||
* &drm_master.lessee_idr.
