Description Caleb Cushing 2009-01-05 08:48:23 UTC
this bug is really for downstream tracking.

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18879

I'm gonna test the patch, if it works maybe it could be added to gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r1?

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Caleb Cushing 2009-01-05 11:55:50 UTC
initial test of the patch shows no problems and it resolves the issue.
Comment 2 Caleb Cushing 2009-01-08 20:50:08 UTC
last test of patch doesn't exactly work, need to test the latest patch yet.
Comment 4 Caleb Cushing 2009-01-11 23:48:53 UTC
gotta double check this answer after while, but no.
Comment 5 Caleb Cushing 2009-01-12 00:44:55 UTC
I'm calling it a no go, but not sure if it will work without the libdrm patch. should cc the maintainer of that.
Comment 6 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-12 09:09:26 UTC
Please test it first. Then we will take appropriate action.
Comment 7 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 13:11:18 UTC
Daniel, I'm not sure why we should test this patches separately when maintainer told us what is required for this bug to be fixed:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18879#c36
And in another URL: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18922 it was confirmed to fix similar issue.

In any case I found this bug too late to test everything separately. I already have, mentioned in comment #3 patches applied and the another patch for libdrm:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/patch/?id=f4f76a6894b40abd77f0ffbf52972127608b9bca

With this fixes my X became a bit more stable. CC'ing X11 for libdrm bits. Please, apply.

Comment 8 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 18:01:34 UTC
Sorry, we don't apply random patches without confirmation of the fix from a Gentoo user, or upstream blessing in the form of Linus or linux-stable. In fact, the discussion on this bug and the upstream one includes considerable doubt as to whether this actually fixes the problem. Also note that the upstream comment you refer to was posted after mine was.

I'm also a bit confused by your comment. So, you ran into the bug too? What do you mean by you didn't test everything "separately"? Did applying everything actually fix the bug? What do you mean by "a bit more stable" - that seems to indicate that the bug still exists, if only less frequently?
Comment 9 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 18:31:54 UTC
Daniel, sorry, I was not enough clear.

My issue with X11 is that whenever I stopped X11 I got backtrace you see in comment #7 and X11 failed to stop, so I had to kill it (problem is even worth since it left driver in bad conditions so subsequent start hanged my notebook and I had to restart it). Although I've reproduced the bug in different conditions backtrace was very similar to what was reported in [1] (I even just copied backtrace from there here). I applied all three patches and this problem went away. So at least there are two confirmations (one in [1] and my own success) that these patches fix something. I speak something because this bug reveals that there are further situations in which this backtrace and problem exists.

> So, you ran into the bug too? 

Not sure. I have not tried to suspend/resume that notebook yet.

> What do you mean by you didn't test everything "separately"?

I meant that I have not tested only kernel side without libdrm.

> Did applying everything actually fix the bug? What do you mean by "a bit more > stable" - that seems to indicate that the bug still exists, if only less
> frequently?

The more we speak the more I'm sure that some error gone. Previously I had no chances to restart X11 but now I did that many time already and no sign of this problem.


Caleb, what problems you have applying patch to libdrm? If you need any assistance just ask. It good idea to get another confirmation that these patches fix suspend/resume issue too.

Comment 10 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 18:55:40 UTC
OK, thanks for the positive report - that is all that we needed. I've queued the patches for the next 2.6.28 release (due out in the next day or two), so I'll reassign this for libdrm patch inclusion.
Comment 11 Caleb Cushing 2009-01-18 19:12:25 UTC
sorry was trying to get the patch to apply to 2.4.3 but it didn't work... does it apply to 2.4.4? or is it in 2.4.4? any help getting the libdrm patch applied would be helpful.

this bug is a side priority as I don't actually switch to VT much, I don't use resume suspend at all.
Comment 12 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 19:29:40 UTC
Caleb, I have not noticed 2.4.4 was already released. Yes, patch is already there, but since libdrm is package.masked probably you'll want to apply patch to 2.4.3 at this moment. Just do:

wget 'http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/patch/?id=f4f76a6894b40abd77f0ffbf52972127608b9bca' -O libdrm-2.4.3.patch
cd $PORTDIR/x11-libs/libdrm
ebuild libdrm-2.4.3.ebuild unpack
cd $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.3/work/libdrm-2.4.3
patch -p1 -i libdrm-2.4.3.patch
cd $PORTDIR/x11-libs/libdrm
ebuild libdrm-2.4.3.ebuild merge
Comment 13 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 21:03:15 UTC
Please do try with 2.4.4. I'm only keeping it in p.mask because some API was dropped since 2.4.3, but the latest stable Intel driver is still using it somehow. I don't think it should cause it trouble, but I'm playing it safe for now.

Thanks
Comment 14 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-20 17:21:26 UTC
2.4.4 is unmasked as I was told not to worry (too much) about my API woes.

Closing fixed.
Comment 15 Caleb Cushing 2009-01-20 18:04:26 UTC
sorry I couldn't get on testing this again sooner, just tested, works for me, nice to be able to switch again. thanks guys.
Comment 16 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-20 18:43:24 UTC
Rémi, just to report back. Yup, I've tried it with SiS, radeon, intel and openchrome drivers and all of them builds find with this newer libdrm and intel, SiS works, radeon and openchrome still untested (need to reboot running X sessions, but will do that later...).
Comment 17 Navid Zamani 2009-02-02 01:56:11 UTC
Yet this(In reply to comment #16)
> and intel, SiS works, radeon and openchrome still untested (need to reboot running X sessions, but will do that later...).

I run the proprietary “ati-driver-8.561” here, and it still gets a flood of errors.
It looks very much not fixed. Or is this because I have the “zen-sources-2.6.29_rc2-r1 installed”?

Please reopen this bug.

Please open a new one. Let's not mix issues that are unlikely to be related.

Thanks
