With the introduction of multiple views of an obj in the same vm, each
vma was taught to cache its copy of the pages (so that different views
could have different page arrangements). However, this missed decoupling
those vma->ggtt_view.pages when the vma released its reference on the
obj->pages. As we don't always free the vma, this leads to a possible
scenario (e.g. execbuffer interrupted by the shrinker) where the vma
points to a stale obj->pages, and explodes.

Nasty, thanks for fixing this.

If someone else will be confused how this can happen, key is the reservation execbuffer path. That puts the VMA on the exec_list which prevents i915_vma_unbind and i915_gem_vma_destroy from fully destroying the VMA. So the VMA is left existing as an empty object in the list - unbound and disassociated with the backing store. Kind of a cached memory object. And then re-using it needs to clear the cached pages pointer which is fixed above.

Regards,

Tvrtko
