Horrible stupid bug in the code, most likely from cut and paste. Attached
patch should fix it. I don't know how long it took for you to trigger it.

Thanks, this indeed fixes the problem! Yes, it took a nightly run before it triggered.

One a side note, should this "return NULL" be replaced with "return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)"?

struct hmm_device *hmm_device_new(void *drvdata)
{
...
if (hmm_device->minor >= HMM_DEVICE_MAX) {
spin_unlock(&hmm_device_lock);
kfree(hmm_device);
-> return NULL;
}

Thanks!
