+/**
+ * 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.
