kernel log showing BUG triggered by nouveau
If nouveau_vm_new() fails in nouveau_drm_open(), the cleanup triggered corrupts
the kernel slab allocator (in this case, SLUB).
Attached is the kernel log showing the page allocation failure and the
subsequent BUG in mm/slub.c
A similar corruption had previously occurred which triggered a GP fault in the
mm allocator from the same code path. This was reported as kernel bug #51291
