Thanks, this indeed fixes the problem! Yes, it took a nightly run before 
it triggered.

One a side note, should this "return NULL" be replaced with "return 
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)"?

struct hmm_device *hmm_device_new(void *drvdata)
{
...
     if (hmm_device->minor >= HMM_DEVICE_MAX) {
         spin_unlock(&hmm_device_lock);
         kfree(hmm_device);
->      return NULL;
     }

Thanks!
