If I skip ttm_tt_destroy() call, this bug no longer occurs. Therefore, I guess that this memory corruption is caused by the destroy function being called with partially initialized ttm object.

I can reproduce this problem at least since 3.13.0. I don't know whether this problem is specific to vmwgfx code or not, for I tested only CentOS 7 with GUI environment on VMware Player 6.

I think you can reproduce this problem by starting a SystemTap script shown below and then flipping windows using from Ctrl-Alt-F1 to Ctrl-Alt-F7 .

I can also reproduce below problem using 3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64 , though below problem might be different from above problem.
