That should be harmless. For populating the page array we need the same 
lock as for unpopulating it.

Correct, yes.

That's not correct. See ttm_bo_release() for example:

...
         if (!dma_resv_test_signaled_rcu(bo->base.resv, true) ||
             !dma_resv_trylock(bo->base.resv)) {
...

We intentionally lock the reservation object here or put it on the 
delayed delete list because dropping the tt object without holding the 
lock is illegal for multiple reasons.

If you run into an unpopulate which doesn't hold the lock then I really 
need that backtrace because we are running into a much larger bug here.

Thanks,
Christian.
