Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v3.12.12-rt19 patch set.
Just hit this Oops in my desktop at home:

This is

and chan is NULL.

I can't find any kind of locking so my question is what ensures that chan is not set to NULL between nouveau_fence_done() and nouveau_fence_wait_uevent()? There are just a few opcodes in between but nothing that pauses nouveau_fence_signal().
Absolutely nothing. :-) Worse still, there's no guarantee that channel isn't freed, but hopefully that is less likely to be an issue.
