Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Do not dereference pointers from ring buffer in evict event
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:27:37 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140318112737.2192898a@gandalf.local.home> (raw)

The TP_printk() should never dereference any pointers, because the ring
buffer can be read at some unknown time in the future. If a device no
longer exists, it can cause a kernel oops. This also makes this
event useless when saving the ring buffer in userspaces tools such as
perf and trace-cmd.

The i915_gem_evict_vm dereferences the vm pointer which may also not
exist when the ring buffer is read sometime in the future.
