The driver does not currently support unbinding from a device which is in use. Since open file descriptors may still be pointing into kernel memory where the device structures used to be, entirely correct kernel panics protect the driver from being unbound as we should not be unbinding it before those dangling pointers have been made safe. According to the documentation found inside drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c, drm_dev_unplug() should be used instead of drm_dev_unregister() in order to make a device inaccessible to users as soon as it is unpluged. Follow that advice to make those possibly dangling pointers safe, protected by DRM layer from a user who is otherwise left pointing into possibly reused kernel memory after the driver has been unbound from the device. Once done, also cancel inflight operations immediately by calling i915_gem_set_wedged().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
