Bug detailed description:
-------------------------
On gnome-desktop with compiz enabled, start openarena and change resolution in
"system setup", the game hangs. It's kernel regression. The last known good commit is Kernel:(drm-intel-fixes) 6939a5aca7cfada279a24c307e772f33104fca20.

"(WW) intel(0): get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument"

Doesn't look to be a kernel regression, but that the driver is not correctly handling an error condition inside a vblank race on client termination that we have seen before.

This issue still happens with following commits,e.g. 3D games:openarena,urbanterror.

Clarify EINVALs

Sounds like you can almost trigger this at will now. Have you discovered a pattern?

The attached patch adds some debug messages to the kernel which should help identify which error we are triggering.
Comment 10 meng 2011-04-13 22:07:44 UTC
It works good when runnig openarena on Pineview with commit c94249d2a.
But ut2004 still hangs when change resolution.
Comment 11 Gordon Jin 2011-04-14 21:57:55 UTC
I'm raising priority as it impacts many games.
Comment 12 Jesse Barnes 2011-06-08 10:34:18 UTC
Does this issue still occur with the recent DDX fixes?
Comment 13 fangxun 2011-06-09 03:32:20 UTC
This issue doesn't occur with recent kernel.
Comment 14 fangxun 2011-06-09 03:35:36 UTC
