Hrm, a pre-existing issue, but this is dumping quite a few uninitialized
bytes into this allocation, as struct nv_device_info_v1::pad is never
initialized and runlists->data is never initialized. It looks like these
bytes are being written out to the video card? Or some kind of ioctl?
This should really be using kzalloc() or making sure stuff isn't
uninitialized.

Seems struct nv_device_info_v1::count is the counted_by for struct
nv_device_info_v1::data?

I assume nvif_object_mthd() writes runlists->data?
