3.18-rc regression: drm/nouveau: use shared fences for readable objects

[Michael Marineau]

On 3.18-rc kernel's I have been intermittently experiencing GPU
lockups shortly after startup, accompanied with one or both of the
following errors:

nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] read fault at 0x000734a000 [PTE]
from PBDMA0/HOST_CPU on channel 0x007faa3000 [unknown]
nouveau E[     DRM] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon

I was able to trace the issue with bisect to commit
809e9447b92ffe1346b2d6ec390e212d5307f61c "drm/nouveau: use shared
fences for readable objects". The lockups appear to have cleared up
since reverting that and a few related followup commits:

809e9447: "drm/nouveau: use shared fences for readable objects"
055dffdf: "drm/nouveau: bump driver patchlevel to 1.2.1"
e3be4c23: "drm/nouveau: specify if interruptible wait is desired in
nouveau_fence_sync"
15a996bb: "drm/nouveau: assign fence_chan->name correctly"

For reference here is what the driver reports about my hardware:
