Probably. I'll need to check this end.
I'll have a look.

In that case I think an igt testcase to make this go boom would be great.
Testbinary prefix for drm core is drm_ (there's some already).

Meanwhile I did dig out the history for this and it's not pretty. See

    Revert "drm: mark context support as a legacy subsystem"

Imo the correct way to fix this isn't to try to fix the code (it's hopeless, making it go boom with fuzzing is just the tip of the iceberg), but instead to disable it. But we may not break nouvea, so needs a bit more elaborate:
1. Add DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT driver flag and add it to nouveau.
2. Modify all the DRIVER_MODESET checks from my patch
(7c510133d93dd6f15ca040733ba7b2891ed61fd1) to still let the ioctls through when DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT is set.

Can you please sign up for this plus the minimal igt?

Thanks, Daniel
