Bug Description:
---------------------
In UXA mode, set the tiling on, run the glthreads and manywin with './glthreads(manywin) -n 8' then the X was crashed. But if set the tiling off, glthreads runs well and manywin will be the same as bug #20052.      


Reproduce Steps:
---------------------
1. enable tiling
2. xinit&
3. mesa/progs/xdemos/manywin -n 8  (or mesa/progs/xdemos/glthreads -n 8)

dmesg of the system crashed by xdemos
Comment 4 zhao jian 2009-02-25 04:48:40 UTC
I tested these xdemos again only change the kernel to the 2.6.28(has some patches on its release), it runs well. So it probably relates to the kernel change. And I will continue to try with the kernels after that. 
Comment 5 zhao jian 2009-03-05 00:21:09 UTC
I find it was caused by the commit 0f973f27888e4664b253ab2cf69c67c2eb80ab1b in the for-airlied branch.

    drm/i915: add fence register management to execbuf

    Adds code to set up fence registers at execbuf time on pre-965 chips as
    necessary.  Also fixes up a few bugs in the pre-965 tile register support
    (get_order != ffs).  The number of fences available to the kernel defaults
    to the hw limit minus 3 (for legacy X front/back/depth), but a new  
    parameter allows userspace to override that as needed.
Comment 7 Gordon Jin 2009-03-10 06:31:38 UTC
reassign to Jesse.
Comment 8 zhao jian 2009-03-10 23:52:28 UTC
Only glxcontexts under xdemo also has such problem. Others such as glxgears, glxinfo, glxpixmap, texture_from_pixmap, xfont are OK. 
Comment 9 Eric Anholt 2009-03-11 15:57:39 UTC
May or may not be fixed by:

commit dc529a4fe1ae4667c819437a94185e8581e1e680
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

    drm/i915: fix 945 fence register writes for fence 8 and above.
    
    The last 8 fence registers sit at a different offset, so when we went to set
    fence number 8 in the lower offset, we instead set PGETBL_CTL, and the GPU
    got all sorts of angry at us.
    
    fd.o bug #20567.  Easily reproducible by running glxgears and killing it about
    6 times.

Jian, have you had a chance to try a newer kernel with the fix Eric mentioned?

Yes. I tried with commit dc529a4fe1ae4667c819437a94185e8581e1e680. Now glthreads runs well and manywin will be the same as bug #20052.
