Someone marked this as a duplicate of #1274779 but I do not agree. This one is about a kernel fix (which only needs to be backported), whereas the other issue affects the xorg driver.
The problem described here is still valid for me on Ubuntu 14.04. Can anyone please backport the fix from above? ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1274779 [ivb] hang on pageflip (IPEHR: 0x0a000001 or 0x0a080001 depending on pipe) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384597 Title: [drm/i915] stuck on render ring Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Chrome hangs with a "stuck on render ring" message on Ubuntu 14.04, 3.13.0-37-generic This bug has been fixed upstream: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77104 dmesg: [21103.988448] [drm] Module unloaded [21103.992678] bbswitch: disabling discrete graphics [21103.992710] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95) [21104.005522] pci 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D0 [21164.507889] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics [21165.039148] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20130102 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 [21165.039158] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.38 Wed Jan 8 19:32:30 PST 2014 [21165.162607] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device [21165.163252] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: irq 50 for MSI/MSI-X [21165.169122] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95) [21166.762394] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device [21167.525348] [drm] Module unloaded [21167.530952] bbswitch: disabling discrete graphics [21167.530968] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95) [21167.545277] pci 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D0 [21172.553983] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics [21173.008283] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20130102 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 [21173.008289] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.38 Wed Jan 8 19:32:30 PST 2014 [21173.027763] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device [21173.028502] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: irq 50 for MSI/MSI-X [21173.034301] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95) [21173.975886] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device [26686.550084] [drm] stuck on render ring [26686.550091] [drm] GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error [26686.550092] [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace.
