Created attachment 36140 [details] dmesg I've been experiencing this random crash for some time, but this was the first time I was able to get a backtrace. Sometimes when HoN menu or new map is loading it crash like this: Failed to allocate : size : 8388608 bytes alignment : 2048 bytes domains : 2 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. get_drm_buffer (_buf=0x0) at radeon_drm_buffer.c:255 255 if (_buf->vtbl == &radeon_drm_buffer_vtbl) { Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.12-2.i686 (gdb) bt #0 get_drm_buffer (_buf=0x0) at radeon_drm_buffer.c:255 #1 0x02bd7267 in radeon_drm_bufmgr_set_tiling (_buf=0x0, microtiled=R300_BUFFER_LINEAR, macrotiled=R300_BUFFER_LINEAR, pitch=8192) at radeon_drm_buffer.c:319 #2 0x02bd6392 in radeon_r300_winsys_buffer_set_tiling (rws=0x887e258, buf=0x0, pitch=8192, microtiled=R300_BUFFER_LINEAR, macrotiled=R300_BUFFER_LINEAR) at radeon_r300.c:81 #3 0x02be72fc in r300_texture_create (screen=0x887fa20, base=0xbfffdd18) at r300_texture.c:982 #4 0x02bf6eeb in r300_resource_create (screen=0x887fa20, templ=0xbfffdd18) at r300_resource.c:37 #5 0x02be7a4f in r300_texture_get_transfer (ctx=0x8932c58, texture=0xa353778, sr=..., usage=2, box=0xbfffddb8) at r300_transfer.c:157 #6 0x02db71ee in u_get_transfer_vtbl (context=0x8932c58, resource=0xa353778, sr=..., usage=PIPE_TRANSFER_WRITE, box=0xbfffddb8) at util/u_resource.c:42 #7 0x02d03586 in pipe_get_transfer (st=0x89b7340, stImage=0xa193ba8, zoffset=0, usage=PIPE_TRANSFER_WRITE, x=0, y=0, w=2048, h=1024) at ../../src/gallium/auxiliary/util/u_inlines.h:342 #8 st_texture_image_map (st=0x89b7340, stImage=0xa193ba8, zoffset=0, usage=PIPE_TRANSFER_WRITE, x=0, y=0, w=2048, h=1024) at state_tracker/st_texture.c:147 #9 0x02d4226e in st_TexImage (ctx=0x898be10, dims=2, target=3553, level=0, internalFormat=6408, width=2048, height=1024, depth=1, border=<value optimized out>, format=6408, type=5121, pixels=0x6548008, unpack=0x899abe0, texObj=0xa353558, texImage=0xa193ba8, imageSize=0, compressed_src=0 '\000') at state_tracker/st_cb_texture.c:681 #10 0x02d42c7e in st_TexImage2D (ctx=0x898be10, target=3553, level=0, internalFormat=6408, width=2048, height=1024, border=0, format=6408, type=5121, pixels=0x6548008, unpack=0x899abe0, texObj=0xa353558, texImage=0xa193ba8) at state_tracker/st_cb_texture.c:798 #11 0x02c99b0f in _mesa_TexImage2D (target=3553, level=0, internalFormat=6408, width=2048, height=1024, border=0, format=6408, type=5121, pixels=0x6548008) at main/teximage.c:2251 #12 0x07c10307 in glTexImage2D (target=3553, level=0, internalformat=6408, width=2048, height=1024, border=0, format=6408, type=5121, pixels=0x6548008) at ../../src/mesa/glapi/glapitemp.h:1002 #13 0x01f37461 in ??

Created attachment 36241 [details] dmesg with Savage 2 Another game affected by this bug is Savage 2. However this one doesn't crash only prints info into the terminal (probably thanks to commit 45fb47d50c08bc4c11e4454883641501713e5710): Failed to allocate : size : 16777216 bytes alignment : 2048 bytes domains : 2 this is printed several times and after that r300: Failed to create a transfer object, praise. Adding download URL since this game is free.
It's the same error. The real problem is this (from your dmesg): hon-x86: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x2 I was told that if a kernel fails to allocate a page, there is nothing we can do. This really shouldn't happen at all. I am not best positioned to give you any advice on this, it's sort of outside of my scope. Besides trying out the newest kernel, I think it would be better to file a bug in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/
OK, I'll try to reproduce this with some never kernel and if I succeed I will open a bug at kernel Bugzilla. This may take some time because this issue isn't 100% reproducible.
There is an ongoing discussion about page allocation failures in the kernel bugzilla. This looks like your problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16148#c8 I am closing the bug here.
