i915_ttm_to_gem can return a NULL pointer, which is

i915_ttm_io_mem_reserve, it appears the correct
behavior in this case is to return -EINVAL.

The GEM object has already been dereferenced before this point, if you look at the caller (vm_access_ttm). The NULL obj thing is to identify "ttm ghost objects", and I don't think a normal userpace object can suddenly become one (access_memory comes from ptrace). AFAIK ghost objects are just for temporarily hanging on to some memory/state, while the dma-resv is busy. In the places where ttm is the one giving us the object, then it might be possible to see these types of objects, since ttm could in theory pass one in (like during eviction).


Yes, we should not hit this.  Thanks for the nice "ttm ghost objects" reminder :)


I think we can still have this check to avoid code analysis tool warnings, what do you think ?


Thanks,

Nirmoy
