vmwgfx stopped using them. With the drm device model that we've slowly evolved over the past few years master status essentially controls access to display resources, and nothing else. Since that's a pure access permission check drivers should have no need at all to track additional state on a per file basis. Aside: For cleanup and restoring kernel-internal clients the grand plan is to move everyone over to drm_client and drm_master_internal_acquire/release, like the generic fbdev code already does. That should get rid of most ->lastclose implementations, and I think also subsumes any processing vmwgfx does in master_set/drop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
