Created attachment 90744 [details] valgrind log of Xorg When I have TearFree enabled using the intel driver from current git master (details below) and browse the Internet using Chromium (31) on Xubuntu Saucy, Xorg SIGABRTs. It seems it's most easily reproducable by visting Flickr using Chromium and going to the "all resolutions" page, for any particular image. I usually reproduce using Flickr/Explore/Recent Photos/pick an image/***/View all sizes. When TearFree is disabled, it can't seem to reproduce the issue. Asus Eee PC 1215P Intel Atom N550 Intel NM10/ICH7 Graphics PCI IDs: 8086:a011/8086:0a12 SNA Initialized with Alviso (gen3) backend Xubuntu Saucy 13.10 (x86-64) Linux kernel 3.11.0-14 (based on kernel.org 3.11.7) I use the intel driver built as a package from git master, on my own PPA (I do _not_ patch in Mir support): https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/xserver-xorg-video-intel-testing Currently reproducable with 2.99.906+git20131212.f350a136 With ickle's assistance I valgrinded X, with the resulting log (attached).
If you have a valgrind log with the patch I suggested, that would be useful as well. Just to see if it had any success at all.

Pascal, a variant on the previous approach to try and requeue the vblank events in the middle of the TearFree wait.
So with the previous patch you supplied me via IRC, I could still reproduce the issue. Now with "Recurse, no shall you", it seems I can no longer reproduce the issue. But since it's a timing related issue, I'll keep using the patched driver for a couple of days, to see if I accidentally trigger the issue. I'll report back in a couple of days. I did however have a situation where the screen went black, and switching to vt1 and switching back to Xorg "got me my screen back". Xorg didn't crash as far as I can tell (nothing in dmesg), and all my application were still as I "left" them. That said, I do recall experiencing something like this before applying this patch, so this may be another unrelated issue. Another user describes a similar thing in #71585.
*fingers crossed* commit c8e339edd31859820907115c8d618b0fec3ef227 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Sun Dec 15 09:39:54 2013 +0000 sna: Avoid recursive out-of-order operations in the middle of TearFree During TearFree, if we have to wait for the shadow flip to complete, we run the event handler for the device. This can then cause us to evaluate pending completed vblank events, which may in turn then attempt to use the shadow bo and recurse into the TearFree handler. Try to prevent this and requeue the vblank event.

So I just pushed a new git master build to my PPA, which includes your new commits (2.99.906+git20131216.9289e2c5), which I'll continue to test over the coming days.
