As I mentioned on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55984, I also hit this bug. The first time was on branch drm-intel-next-2012-09-20 on Daniel Vetters drm-intel git. I guess it has something to do with low memory. To reproduce the bug on my laptop with 8GB RAM and a i5-460M, I did: 1. Boot (I use KDE) 3. Start glxspheres (from http://virtualgl.org/, but glxgears might work too, not tested) 2. Copy a 1.2 GiB Linux source tree to /dev/shm and /tmp (both tmpfs), 5 times. This uses 6GiB of RAM. I used this bash script: #!/bin/bash for i in /tmp/hang-l1 /tmp/hang-l2 /tmp/hang-l3 \ /dev/shm/hang-l1 /dev/shm/hang-l2; do cp -ra ~/Linux-src/linux "$i" & done; wait 3. When the copy is almost done, watch the machine become sluggish and eventually print the "[drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung" message to the kernel log. Until the machine is rebooted, all OpenGL applications will fail to load. On kernels where it was working fine, there is no lag when the copy is almost finished. 504c7267a1e84b157cbd7e9c1b805e1bc0c2c846 is the first bad commit commit 504c7267a1e84b157cbd7e9c1b805e1bc0c2c846 Author: Chris Wilson <ch...@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Thu Aug 23 13:12:52 2012 +0100 drm/i915: Use cpu relocations if the object is in the GTT but not mappable This prevents the case of unbinding the object in order to process the relocations through the GTT and then rebinding it only to then proceed to use cpu relocations as the object is now in the CPU write domain. By choosing to use cpu relocations up front, we can therefore avoid the rebind penalty.
