3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  

First appearence on 5.4.7-200.fc31.x86_64

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce

Thanks for reporting this. I believe this is the same bug:

Bug 1803372 - [abrt] i915_active_ref: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040 [i915]

Unfortunately, that is a "private" bug, so here is the complete call trace:

Description of problem:
Occurred twice:

With 5.4.14-100.fc30.x86_64: Loading a complex web page with Firefox.

With 5.4.17-100.fc30.x86_64: Running a Youtube video in a VM.

A web search for "i915_active_ref" found this bug report:

NULL pointer dereference in i915_active_acquire since Linux 5.4
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/827

It appears to have been closed with a bug fix:

That appears to be in 5.5, but not in 5.4:

drm/i915: Hold reference to intel_frontbuffer as we track activity

Comment 4 Steve 2020-02-20 22:11:40 UTC
throwawaythesun: Could you put "i915" at the beginning of the bug summary, so it is easier for developers to see what the bug is about:

"i915: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040 appearing randomly"

Comment 5 Steve 2020-02-21 16:18:22 UTC
throwawaythesun: Thanks for updating the bug summary.

Since you are on F31, you could try:

kernel-5.5.5-200.fc31, kernel-headers-5.5.5-200.fc31, & 1 more
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-cf2eacc932

See, however, the negative karma comment from arcivanov and the reply from jforbes.

Comment 6 Steve 2020-02-24 23:17:29 UTC
This is against 5.5.5-200.fc31.x86_64, but the call trace looks very similar:

Bug 1806747 - [abrt] i915_active_ref: general protection fault in i915_active_ref [i915]

Comment 7 Steve 2020-02-25 18:33:18 UTC
The current "stable" kernel built for Fedora is available:

kernel-5.5.6-201.fc31, kernel-headers-5.5.6-200.fc31, & 1 more
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-3cd64d683c

Comment 8 Justin M. Forbes 2020-03-03 16:32:51 UTC
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 31 kernel bugs.

Fedora 31 has now been rebased to 5.5.7-200.fc31.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 32, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 32.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 9 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 05:52:57 UTC
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
