Thanks. How about the following:

* ttm_eu_reserve_buffers calls reservation_object_reserve_shared.
* In reservation_object_reserve_shared, shared_count == shared_max - 1,
  so obj->staged is freed in preparation of an in-place update.
* ttm_eu_fence_buffer_objects calls reservation_object_add_shared_fence,
  after which shared_count == shared_max.
* The amdgpu driver also calls reservation_object_add_shared_fence for
  the same reservation object, and the BUG_ON triggers.

However, nothing bad would happen in
reservation_object_add_shared_inplace, since all fences use the same
context, so they can only occupy a single slot.

Prevent this by moving the BUG_ON to where an overflow would actually
happen (e.g. if a buggy caller didn't call
reservation_object_reserve_shared before).


Also, I'll add a reference to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/106418 in v2,
as I suspect this fix is necessary under the circumstances described
there as well.
