--- Comment #7 from Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk> ---
>From bug 99584:

It looks like we are hitting a use-after-free in
gen8_ppgtt_alloc_page_directories with some pdp state. One possible theory from
looking at the log is that the shrinker kicks in and starts swinging its axe,
evicting one or more vma's, which results in said pdp being freed, I guess we
didn't have anything else inserted in that range, which is why it was freed.
But all of this could have happened while we were in the middle of allocating a
va range for another vma which just so happens to touch the same pdp, and so
with a little bad timing the free could have happened just after we check if we
need to allocate a new pdp, resulting in all kinds of brokenness. It looks like
something similar could also happen with a pd.
