Mhm, I don't see how that can happen since nouveau is using ttm_sg_tt_init(). Apart from that what nouveau does here is rather questionable since you need a coherent architecture for most things anyway, but that's not what we are trying to fix here. Can you try to narrow down if ttm_sg_tt_init is called before calling this function for the tt object in question? Thanks, Christian.
