Thanks, this is great. It pinpoints the problem very effectively.

The code here is
16: 48 8b 80 00 01 00 00 mov 0x100(%rax),%rax
1d: 48 8b 50 08 mov 0x8(%rax),%rdx
21: 48 85 d2 test %rdx,%rdx
24: 74 11 je 0x37
26: 49 8b 44 24 78 mov 0x78(%r12),%rax
2b:* 8b 80 84 00 00 00 mov 0x84(%rax),%eax <-- trapping instruction
31: 89 82 08 08 00 00 mov %eax,0x808(%rdx)
37: f6 45 a0 02 testb $0x2,-0x60(%rbp)
and that "testb $0x2, -0x60(%rbp)" seems to be the
if (iir & I915_USER_INTERRUPT) {
test if I'm reading things right. Although it could also be the
if (eir & I915_ERROR_MEMORY_REFRESH) {
thing. The disassembly is totally impossible to read, because the stupid
i915 driver is chock-full of crap like
if (IS_G4X(dev)) {
..
which expands to insane amounts of code that check the PCI ID's one by
one.
Intel guys: could you _please_ stop doing that. Create a capability mask
in the device or something, so that you can test for "is this a G4x" with
a single bit test, rather than have code like this:
mov 0x31c(%rsi),%eax
cmp $0x2982,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x2972,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x2992,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x29a2,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>

cmp $0x2a42,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x2e02,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x2e12,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x2e22,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x2e32,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
cmp $0x42,%eax
je 0xffffffff8124b669 <i915_driver_irq_handler+177>
for that IS_G4X() thing (I'm not kidding - that's exactly a hundred bytes
of code for that _stupid_ test, and it's inlined!)
Anyway, we're getting that DRM irq, and it has a normal IRQ stack trace:

.. but it happened just as we're tearing down the DRM irq handling:

so what is going on is that the i915 driver has obviously torn down some
state before it uninstalls the irq, so the irq happens when the state has
already been torn down, and the irq handler is not ready for that.
This patch *may* fix it - simply by getting rid of the irq early. However,
I did not check whether maybe something in i915_gem_idle() actually needs
the interrupt to be able to happen, so this is TOTALLY UNTESTED!
