That something along those lines might be a concern was indeed worrying
me when coming up with the scheme. Good inside knowledge hint, thank
you. I will have a deeper look.

Correct. So far that was handled outside the cgroup controller in the
drm layer and any lock dependency propagation was hidden behind RCU.
But that will likely change once I try your suggestion of eliminating
the struct pid based client tracking and so become relevant.

Thanks, I will look into this all hopefully shortly. Perhaps what you
suggest will come naturally with the removal of struct pid based tracking.
