Actually, the call to radeon_fence_ref() is the culprit.

Kernels that contain commit 954605ca "drm/radeon: use common fence
implementation for fences, v4" are safe, older kernels require a
NULL-pointer check around the call to radeon_fence_ref.

This means kernels 3.17 and older are affected and need the additional
NULL pointer check that I've sent out already on a different thread (I'm
attaching it again, hoping that Erik gets a chance to test it).

It would be nice to get a confirmation that this really does fix the
observed bug, then I can prepare a fixed version of the patch for 3.17
and older (i.e. squash the original bad commit with the attached patch).

Cheers,
Nicolai

Subject: [PATCH] drm/radeon: guard call to radeon_fence_ref against NULL
pointers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Candidate fix for a kernel oops that was introduced by the backport of
commit 954605ca3 "drm/radeon: hold reference to fences in radeon_sa_bo_new"
to kernels where radeon does not use the common fence implementation for
fences.
