Different signal, but this looks remarkably similar to bug 27313 and the patch there should fix the crash. Though I am actually more interested in knowing which path provoked the fallback. Chris, I could patch the driver and see if the (albeit rare) crashes disappear. However, you mention that you are more interested in what triggers the crash. Could you point me to what I could do to be of most help to you? This turns out to be another page-fault-of-doom... 08:57 < ohsix> hrm 08:57 < ohsix> 83118.00 - 62.1% : drm_clflush_pages [drm] 08:57 < ohsix> doesn't look right heh; (from perf top) 08:57 < ohsix> 206911.00 - 64.2% : drm_clflush_pages [drm] 08:57 < ohsix> 59009.00 - 18.3% : read_hpet 08:58 < ohsix> rebooted back with the "old" kernel and its doing that cpu burning freeze that it did last night 09:03 < ohsix> [ 31003.366] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. *** Bug 28471 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Chris, I tried the patch you suggested in comment #c1 and did not experience the lockup afterwards. By now I have moved on to the 1.8 release (@ 1.8.1.902 at the moment) with a 2.6.34 kernel. No lockups since. Should I close this? Unfortunately, I don't know ohsix's setup. Thanks for testing, I was starting to think this was the page-fault-of-doom and not a simple buffer overrun. We can't close this just yet as the patch hasn't been included upstream, since under review this patch should have no effect. Yet it obviously does... Yes! A much better fix is finally on its way upstream! commit e2bf07fe23fd11a2acba609bf34ccc59c5553389 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Sat Aug 7 11:01:24 2010 +0100 drm/i915: Implement fair lru eviction across both rings. (v2) Based in a large part upon Daniel Vetter's implementation and adapted for handling multiple rings in a single pass. This should lead to better gtt usage and fixes the page-fault-of-doom triggered. The fairness is provided by scanning through the GTT space amalgamating space in rendering order. As soon as we have a contiguous space in the GTT large enough for the new object (and its alignment), evict any object which lies within that space. This should keep more objects resident in the GTT. Doing throughput testing on a PineView machine with cairo-perf-trace indicates that there is very little difference with the new LRU scan, perhaps a small improvement... Except oddly for the poppler trace.
