Bug detailed description:
-------------------------
This case failed and caused system hang on huronriver. The last known good commit is 1a447749ed421db8eb6ba20012630785aef9bb12, the last known bad commit is bb7ff01deb5c1eb813b90da6f40d987a67e2793b. We unable to bisect the first bad commit due to mesa build error. Anyway, the first bad commit could be any of below:
bb7ff01deb5c1eb813b90da6f40d987a67e2793b

Reproduce steps:

1. start X

Comment 1 Ian Romanick 2011-05-24 17:45:03 UTC
Something fishy is happening with the bisect.  For example, commit 04e3f1d3 adds some comments and moves a structure field.  There is no way that commit broke the build.  I recommend doing 'git clean -fxd' at each bisect step.  Mesa's build system is notoriously bad, so there could be garbage left over from previous builds that cause later builds to fail.
Comment 2 Eric Anholt 2011-05-25 12:23:29 UTC
Please retest with the kernel updated to keithp's drm-intel-next with the forcewake patches.  Incorrect forcewake handling could add up to intermittent GPU hangs.

Tested with keithp's drm-intel-next kernel 9e3c25, System doesn't hang but GPU hangs when case running, and the case still fails. 
dmesg shows:
[drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung

I do 'git clean -fxd' at each bisect step, but the four mesa commit build still fail.
Comment 6 Eric Anholt 2011-06-19 11:25:30 UTC
Reproduced the failure (./oglconform -D 33 -s -v 3 -1 api-texcoord.c), and a workaround (always_flush_batch=true in environment).
Comment 7 Eric Anholt 2011-07-19 13:49:05 UTC
I did the bisect by rebasing the change sequence with the build failure so that the build never failed (squash last commit into first build-failing commit).  That leads the bisect to:

commit a82a43e8d99e1715dd11c9c091b5ab734079b6a6

    i965/gen6: Use the dynamic state base address to reduce relocations.

The specific hunk that triggers the failure is moving brw_state_base_address, and bisecting *that* shows that it's when brw_state_base_address moves above gen6_vs_state.

    i965: Apply a homebrew workaround for GPU hang in OGLC api-texcoord.
    
    The behavior of flushes in the hardware is a maze of twisty passages,
    and strangely the VS constants appear to be loaded during a pipeline
    flush instead of at the time of the packet emit according to the
    simulator.  On moving the STATE_BASE_ADDRESS packet to where it really
    needed to live (in order for data loads by other packets to be
    correct), we sometimes no longer got a flush between those packets
    where we apparently needed it.  This replicates the flushes implied by
    a STATE_BASE_ADDRESS update, fixing the GPU hangs in OGLC and the
    "engine" demo.
