ok. I bisected the DMAR faults and it points to the following commit: 909d9eb67f1e4e39f2ea88e96bde03d560cde3eb This commit as I recall, fixed the crash problem I was seeing back in 3.8-rc1. Reverting to see if crash problem reappears. Here is the git bisect log: git bisect start '--' 'drivers/gpu/drm/radeon' # bad: [9931faca02c604c22335f5a935a501bb2ace6e20] Linux 3.8-rc3 git bisect bad 9931faca02c604c22335f5a935a501bb2ace6e20 # good: [d1c3ed669a2d452cacfb48c2d171a1f364dae2ed] Linux 3.8-rc2 git bisect good d1c3ed669a2d452cacfb48c2d171a1f364dae2ed # bad: [71e3d1578c954cf29f1f4db1c8930d3574025eb0] drm/radeon: switch to a finer grained reset for r6xx/7xx git bisect bad 71e3d1578c954cf29f1f4db1c8930d3574025eb0 # bad: [eaaa6983ab2ccdf826c90838eb584211e0cadb76] drm/radeon: print dma status reg on lockup (v2) git bisect bad eaaa6983ab2ccdf826c90838eb584211e0cadb76 # bad: [909d9eb67f1e4e39f2ea88e96bde03d560cde3eb] drm/radeon/r6xx: fix DMA engine for ttm bo transfers git bisect bad 909d9eb67f1e4e39f2ea88e96bde03d560cde3eb # good: [cafa59b9011a7790be4ddd5979419259844a165d] drm/radeon: add connector table for Mac G4 Silver git bisect good cafa59b9011a7790be4ddd5979419259844a165d bad commit: 909d9eb67f1e4e39f2ea88e96bde03d560cde3eb is the first bad commit commit 909d9eb67f1e4e39f2ea88e96bde03d560cde3eb Author: Alex Deucher <[email protected]> Date: Wed Jan 2 18:30:21 2013 -0500 drm/radeon/r6xx: fix DMA engine for ttm bo transfers count must be a multiple of 2.
