I've seen this trigger twice now, where the i915_gem_object_to_ggtt() call in intel_unpin_fb_obj() returns NULL, resulting in an oops immediately afterwards as the (inlined) call to i915_vma_unpin_fence() tries to dereference it. It seems to be some race condition where the object is going away at shutdown time, since both times happened when shutting down the X server. The call chains were different: - VT ioctl(KDSETMODE, KD_TEXT): intel_cleanup_plane_fb+0x5b/0xa0 [i915] drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes+0x6f/0x90 [drm_kms_helper] intel_atomic_commit_tail+0x749/0xfe0 [i915] intel_atomic_commit+0x3cb/0x4f0 [i915] drm_atomic_commit+0x4b/0x50 [drm] restore_fbdev_mode+0x14c/0x2a0 [drm_kms_helper] drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0x34/0x80 [drm_kms_helper] drm_fb_helper_set_par+0x2d/0x60 [drm_kms_helper] intel_fbdev_set_par+0x18/0x70 [i915] fb_set_var+0x236/0x460 fbcon_blank+0x30f/0x350 do_unblank_screen+0xd2/0x1a0 vt_ioctl+0x507/0x12a0 tty_ioctl+0x355/0xc30 do_vfs_ioctl+0xa3/0x5e0 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x94 - i915 unpin_work workqueue: intel_unpin_work_fn+0x58/0x140 [i915] process_one_work+0x1f1/0x480 worker_thread+0x48/0x4d0 kthread+0x101/0x140 and this patch purely papers over the issue by adding a NULL pointer check and a WARN_ON_ONCE() to avoid the oops that would then generally make the machine unresponsive. Other callers of i915_gem_object_to_ggtt() seem to also check for the returned pointer being NULL and warn about it, so this clearly has happened before in other places. [ Reported it originally to the i915 developers on Jan 8, applying the ugly workaround on my own now after triggering the problem for the second time with no feedback. This is likely to be the same bug reported as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98829 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99134 which has a patch for the underlying problem, but it hasn't gotten to me, so I'm applying the workaround. ] Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Cc: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
