Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v3.12.12-rt19 patch set.
Just hit this Oops in my desktop at home:
[22328.388996] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 [22328.389013] IP: [<ffffffffa011a912>] nouveau_fence_wait_uevent.isra.2+0x22/0x440 [nouveau]
This is
| static int | nouveau_fence_wait_uevent(struct nouveau_fence *fence, bool intr) | | { | struct nouveau_channel *chan = fence->channel; | struct nouveau_fifo *pfifo = nouveau_fifo(chan->drm->device);
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().
Fernando, can you please check the patch below and test if the warning or the crash appears?
