Bug#819881: radeon_fence_ref BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

[Erik <erik2016@utpost.se>]

As already concluded this bug causes serious trouble! My system freezes
all the time after upgrading to 8.4. Sometimes after only a few seconds,
with the hardware reset button as the only way out.

If a fix exists I would really like it to be made public through the
update-upgrade process as soon as possible. Thank you very much for
providing a fix, but does your intention to include the fix in the next
upload to jessie-security and jessie-proposed-updates mean days or
weeks wait?

Erik
