If the same userspace components (mesa, xf86-video-ati) work on 2.6.38 and become garbled on 2.6.38.1, can you bisect between 2.6.38 and 2.6.38.1 and see which commit caused the problem? If you updated the userspace components as well, this is probably a duplicate of bug 33929. thanks for your quick answer. With the same userspace and configuration, 2.6.38 works fine. I will try to bisect. thx The result of the bisection is : ba3ffdc68b4c80fe4cc42bdae6040eca1067ebb2 is the first bad commit commit ba3ffdc68b4c80fe4cc42bdae6040eca1067ebb2 Author: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Date: Thu Mar 17 18:54:23 2011 +0300 RPC: killing RPC tasks races fixed commit 8e26de238fd794c8ea56a5c98bf67c40cfeb051d upstream. RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to NULL). Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those tasks that aren't queued". Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 -------------------- --------------------- -------------------------- nfs4_run_open_task rpc_run_task rpc_execute rpc_set_active rpc_make_runnable (waiting) rpc_async_schedule nfs4_open_prepare nfs_wait_on_sequence nfs_umount_begin rpc_killall_tasks rpc_wake_up_task rpc_wake_up_queued_task spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL) BUG() rpc_sleep_on spin_lock(&q->lock) __rpc_sleep_on task->tk_waitqueue = q Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> :040000 040000 91b88f0611c9ff1cf2691d9d65ec13c652a554ac e23b6d459a8bef93de6ea4821754e2f51e3ad32f M net which seems completely bogus to me (I don't use nfs). BTW, the bug is still present with 2.6.38.3 and seems more frequent with it. Another detail is it occurs only one time during a session. Hi, I can't reproduce reliably (sometimes it occurs 2 times in 5 minutes, sometimes nothing during weeks) and I suspect a hardware bug. I think it's better to close it, no need to pollute buglist. |

Created attachment 45194 [details] garbled screen Hi, Since I'm using kernel 2.6.38.1, Xorg screen became garbled after some times (see screenshot). It occurs on 2.6.38.2 but seems to be less frequent (3-4 hours for 2.6.38.1 ; 8-10 for 2.6.38.2) I didn't get this bug with 2.6.38 TTY stay fine and after I close and start X, everything is fine again. No need to reboot. I can't find anything precise which can trigger this bug, it simply occurs. Maybe an hint, it seems to be when I try to display a minimized window. There is nothing obvious in the logs (but I'm not using debug option), kernel or X. kernel 2.6.38.2 (kernel-linus-2.6.38.2-1mdv-1-1 ; vanilla kernel packaged by my distro) xorg 1.9.3 ati 6.14.1 mesa 7.9 libdrm 2.4.24
