When drm_file.master changes value, the corresponding drm_device.master_lookup_lock should be held.
In drm_master_release, a call to drm_master_put sets the file_priv->master to NULL, so we protect this section with drm_device.master_lookup_lock.

At this points all refcounts to drm_file have disappeared, so yeah this is a lockless access, but also no one can observe it anymore. See also next patch.
Hence I think the current code is fine. -Daniel
