Well yes I'm working the drivers towards this, but NAK at the moment. 
Currently bo->resource is never expected to be NULL.

And yes I'm searching for this bug in amdgpu for quite a while. Where 
exactly does that happen?

Amdgpu is supposed to allocate a new resource first, then do a swap and 
the free the old one.

Thanks,
Christian.
