Starting with commit f295c8cfec833c2707ff1512da10d65386dde7af ("drm/nouveau: fix dma syncing warning with debugging on.") the following oops occures:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 6 PID: 1013 Comm: Xorg.bin Tainted: G E 5.11.0-desktop-rc0+ #2 Hardware name: Acer Aspire VN7-593G/Pluto_KLS, BIOS V1.11 08/01/2018 RIP: 0010:nouveau_bo_sync_for_device+0x40/0xb0 [nouveau] Call Trace: nouveau_bo_validate+0x5d/0x80 [nouveau] nouveau_gem_ioctl_pushbuf+0x662/0x1120 [nouveau] ? nouveau_gem_ioctl_new+0xf0/0xf0 [nouveau] drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa6/0xf0 [drm] drm_ioctl+0x1f4/0x3a0 [drm] ? nouveau_gem_ioctl_new+0xf0/0xf0 [nouveau] nouveau_drm_ioctl+0x50/0xa0 [nouveau] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7e/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x33/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae ---[ end trace ccfb1e7f4064374f ]--- RIP: 0010:nouveau_bo_sync_for_device+0x40/0xb0 [nouveau]
The underlying problem is not introduced by the commit, yet it uncovered the underlying issue. The cited commit relies on valid pages. This is not given for due to some bugs. For now, just warn and work around the issue by just ignoring the bad ttm objects. Below is some debug info gathered while debugging this issue:
