Simpler solution sounds plausible and mostly works for me. Certainly is 
attractive to simplify things. And as the disclaimer I put in the cover 
letter - I wasn't really sure at all if passing a master fd is a thing 
or not. Happy to implement your version if that will be the decision.

The only downside I can think of right now with having two owners is if 
someone is "naughty" and actually uses the fd for rendering from two 
sides. That wouldn't conceptually work for what I am doing in the cgroup 
controller, where I need to attribute GPU usage to a process, which is a 
lookup from struct pid -> list of drm_files -> etc. So in the two owners 
scheme I would just need to ignore the "open owner" and rely that 
"render ownder" truly is the only one doing the rendering. Or maybe I'd 
need to add support for multiple owners as well.. would be a bit 
annoying probably.

Hm now that I think about more.. the one shot nature of this scheme 
would have another downside. One could just send the fd back to itself 
via a throway forked helper, which only does one ioctl before sending it 
back, and then the "render owner" is forever lost. The proposal as I had 
it would be immune to this problem at least.

This use case I am not familiar with at all so can't comment. Only 
intuitively I would ask - why is it something that needs to be solved at 
the DRM level? Because essentially it sounds like there is a want to 
disallow sending fds via sockets.
