There exists a tight race between the call to nouveau_fence_done from nouveau_fence_wait and the call to nouveau_fence_wait_uevent. nouveau_fence_done checks to see if fence->channel is NULL before calling nouveau_fence_wait_uevent, but it's not good enough since the dereference in nouveau_fence_wait_uevent is done outside the lock. Another thread may have signaled the fence in that tight window and then we Oops while dereferencing fence->channel->drm at the beginning of nouveau_fence_wait_uevent. The good news is that nouveau_fence_wait_uevent only uses fence->channel directly to grab the chan->drm pointer. If we pass that in directly as a known good pointer, we can avoid the race. Passing the nouveau_fence_done check in the caller ensures that the chan pointer is valid.
