Bug detailed description:
-------------------------
On gnome desktop with compiz enabled, X crash after set modes about 6 times with error message: 

intel_bufmgr_gem.c:1247: Error setting memory domains 966 (00000040 00000000): Input/output error .

If compiz disabled, it works fine. 

Reproduce steps:
----------------
1.start X and gnome-session
2.xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768
3.xrandr --output VGA1 --mdoe 800x600
4.xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024
5.do 2-4 repeatedly

Comment 2 Chris Wilson 2010-03-30 11:38:38 UTC
As this is a hang, and not thrown by error interrupt, there is a good chance that it is caused by an incorrect batchbuffer (though it could well be a serialisation problem with the changing of the framebuffer as well). So I think your kernel should fill /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state with the failing batchbuffer, could you please upload that?
Comment 3 fangxun 2010-03-30 20:37:08 UTC
Maybe I didn't made it clear about X crash status. This is not a hang. After setting modes, X crashs but GPU doesn't hang. We can restart X after this crash.

Tested with kernel 2.6.34-rc1, setting modes on gnome-session with compiz still cause X crash. Check "/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state" and return "no error state collected".

promote priority back to high, after Q1 release cycle.
Comment 5 Gordon Jin 2010-05-09 23:39:31 UTC
Carl/Chris, can you reproduce this?

We can also reproduce it in MeeGo (with mutter) (on Pineview), so it's not compiz specific.

Handle reference counting across page flipping.

The likelihood is that this is the same bug as 27922, in which case the attached patch should work.

I've pushed:

    dri2: Handle reference counting across page flipping
    
    1. Instead of swapping bos, swap the entire private structure.
    
    2. If we update the pixmap bo for the Screen, make sure we update the
    reference inside intel->front_buffer so that xrandr still functions.
    
    Fixes:
    
      Bug 27922 - i965: Rapidly resizing OpenGL window causes GPU to hang.
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27922

which I think should fix this bug as well.
Comment 8 fangxun 2010-05-13 03:31:08 UTC
X still crash with this patch. It also make a regression. While drag the window, there are severe flickering in the redrawn area.
Comment 9 Chris Wilson 2010-05-15 11:32:20 UTC
This should be the missing piece:

commit 030d56279bf14d9ddd42d8fdbeaa66ef3f557b4d
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Fri May 14 16:53:40 2010 +0100

    drm: don't overwrite the old intel->front_buffer
    
    It's now handled in the common ExchangeBuffers() path.
Comment 10 fangxun 2010-05-17 03:40:25 UTC
Works fine. Marking bug as verified.
