Ok, I can see the allocation failure that leads to the crash:

uxa: Check for allocation failure in i915 video
For a large screen, we have to create a temporary surface for rendering
the textured video. If this pixmap creation fails we may be left with a
system memory only pixmap leading to a segfault.

However, that still leaveas the question as to how you ended up being
unable to allocate bo...
You can watch /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_gem_objects (or just use
intel-gpu-overlay) and see if there is an object leak.
