  • Xorg hardlock; latest libdrm, mesa, xf86-video-ati, xorg-server 1.10.2

    Hi guys,

    since several days I'm easily getting hardlocks when having

    compiz-fusion (0.8.4/0.8.6) enabled with emerald and by simply browsing through the web

    e.g. just now I got a hardlock with browsing through kernel source directories on github


    last time it was during app-switching (alt + tab)


    magic sysrq key doesn't work anymore the box seems to be completely dead


    gentoo ~amd64

    live builds of:
    - libdrm
    - mesa
    - xf86-video-ati

    xorg-server 1.10.2 and 1.10.1.902 (also happened with that)





    afaik this started when I had watched a video with flash in fullscreen a few days ago (I wanted to see if things had improved) and everything seemed to be dead by the sound of the video kept on playing (no loop !)

    so:

    - usb keyboard + mouse affected
    - screen output affected (monitor -> black/blank)



    any help would be highly welcome since I need this box working with composite asap

    Many thanks in advance !

    ok seems like it works again:

    - compiled the kernel + added newer radeon-ucode (20110531)
    - re-compiled all the mentioned packages
    - freshly re-installed adobe-flash

    and it didn't crash so far with fullscreen flash

    also did some app-switching, etc.

    so:

    [solved]

      oh CRAP !

      it's happening again :\

      several hours of stable usage and then suddenly it hardlocked again while surfing with chromium through github

      something's definitely not cool

        the reset doesn't seem to work correctly

        the fan of the PC is spinning faster and louder constantly after the reset


        even though it's set to "low" profile the fan is spinning faster


        so the "fix" so far for this little "issue" was to set it to "mid" and then back to "low"

        echo mid > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

        cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

        -> mid

        echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

        cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

        -> low

          I reported something like that three months ago (it hasn't been fixed). Maybe it's the same issue:



          For me, disabling page flipping prevents this from happening.

              Hi Dave,

              it definitely seems to be related to pageflipping

              I disabled it and it's smooth sailing for several hours already



              will try out your patch when I find some time

              thanks !

                Segfault and lock-ups

                This might not be a similar issue, but I'm facing Segfaults using xorg-edgers repository on Xubuntu. This always occurs when the game Extreme Tux Racer is run from the terminal. Has been happening ever since I started using the repo (1 week back) so I can't tell when exactly this started happening in relation to git. I reverted back to stock Xubuntu drm, mesa, radeon driver, xorg and it does not occur, hence I believe this might be a regression.

                I also get hard lockups frequently, regardless if flash videos are being watched or games are being run. Only solution is to hard reset.

                Tried to look for logs on the Segfault, but couldn't find anything in Xorg.log, dmesg, kern.log or syslog.

                I would like to help out identify the bugs but don't have any experience in bug reporting. If instructions can be provided, I am more than willing to help report bugs.

                System:
                Processor: Pentium 4
                Graphics card: Radeon Xpress 200 - RC410 (assigned 256Mb ram in BIOS)
                Kernel: 3.0.0-999-generic #201106091205 SMP i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

                xorg.conf settings (tried all variations but didn't help):

                Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
                Option "ColorTiling" "True"
                Option "SwapbuffersWait" "False"

                  ok, seems like a good point to test out that patch

                  I had disabled pageflipping and colortiling but it still kept on appearing

                  I re-compiled my whole system and the X-server and the video driver

                  but it kept on coming after several days, hours or even minutes - completely random


                  there was sort of a commonality: it very often happened when running chromium and browsing through github


                  so I disabled the gles (opengl ES) switch for mesa

                  and recompiled everything

                  so far it's still running for several hours


                  will see if it was that which caused the hardlocks & keep you updated

                  if not I'll recompile the kernel with your patch


                  Thanks !
