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).

True that, but because from a code persepctive we can still receive
NULL, I think the check is correct, perhaps we could:

	if (unlikely(!obj))
		return -EINVAL;

Hmm, so that will dereference some pointer, and then later check if it is NULL here? Or do you mean to move this into vm_access()? If we are given a "ghost object" for ptrace this would likely mean we have a very nasty bug somewhere (unless I'm misunderstanding something), and so returning a normal user error here doesn't seem right to me (maybe this just hides the issue)? Letting it crash seems fine to me tbh. It also makes the code harder to understand IMO, because looking at this it now suggests that it is somehow possible to have a "ghost object" here. Also there are a fair few places calling i915_ttm_to_gem() which already don't check for NULL, since it should be impossible, like it should be here.
