[PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Handle MOBs without page-table BOs

From: Ruoyu Wang

Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 11:23:39 EST


Single-page MOBs and small OTable bases use depth-0 page-table entries
and do not allocate a page-table BO. Their existing teardown paths were
written to tolerate that by checking a local BO pointer before reserving
or fencing it.

Commit 668b206601c5 ("drm/vmwgfx: Stop using raw ttm_buffer_object's")
changed pt_bo from a raw TTM buffer object pointer to a vmwgfx BO pointer
and converted those local BO initializers to &pt_bo->tbo. That
dereferences pt_bo before the existing NULL checks, so depth-0 MOBs can
crash during OTable teardown or MOB unbind.

Keep the previous conditional behavior by deriving the TTM BO only when
the MOB has a page-table BO.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
