Description Danny 2008-01-28 22:42:47 UTC

When stressing the machine a bit (scrolling large amounts of icons, or running gtkperf usually does the trick) but also after some time of normal use, I inevitably get X to reset because of a hang in the DMA queue.

Drm messages:

This then continues until method 0a2c. The PGRAPH_ERROR are not always there. The pusher interrupt is always happening. Sometimes, I also get 
[drm] PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 1/0 Mthd 0x0000 Data 0x6f000000 status 0x00000001

Xorg log attached.

xorg log

fifo dump of crash. I have many similar ones. I could not find a connection between them. But please ask if more are needed.

list of methods before the dma lockup

This is a list of methods called by the X driver before it locked up. In this particular case I didn't have any output on whether BEGIN_RING==OUT_RING but in a previous crash log I outputted this info and it seemed to be ok (the only cases in which we have 1 out_ring more is when we hit nouveau_dma_wait)

bug #14287 looks identical to this one.

patch enabling pcigart and making sure cmdbuf goes there

DMA queue hangs only happen when the command buffer is in FB. Turning on
AGP on powerpc leads to lockups with DFS, even when using a PCI gart. 
Therefore, current drm has agp_init disabled. This patch enables PCI
gart in the DDX, and makes sure the cmd buffer goes there.

patch was applied, fixed.
