Inside drm_clients_info, the rcu_read_lock is held to lock pid_task()->comm. However, within this protected section, a call to drm_is_current_master is made, which involves a mutex lock in a future patch. However, this is illegal because the mutex lock might block while in the RCU read-side critical section.
Since drm_is_current_master isn't protected by rcu_read_lock, we avoid this by moving it out of the RCU critical section.
The following report came from intel-gfx ci's igt@debugfs_test@read_all_entries testcase:
