on different machines and GPUs, in both MATE and KDE
We have not updated anything significant but gcc 9 to 11

Rebuilt several Xorg pkgs:, xorg-serv, all X drivers, libX11 etc. but 
didn't help. Any clues welcome.
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2022-04-29 17:29:24 UTC
Please enable debug symbols for the x11-base/xorg-server package. You should then be able to obtain a more useful backtrace.

Also, always provide emerge --info.

$1 = (DRI2ClientPtr) 0x1

1 is not a good ptr value

Comment 6 Alexander Puchmayr 2023-05-22 13:11:57 UTC
Seems like I have the same problem here on at least two different machines, the stack trace looks exactly like the one shown in this thread.

x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.7 dies with segfault when opening the remote console of a virtual machine connected to via virt-manager. 

Does not happen on all machines, but when it happens, it happens reproducibly. All machines, affected and non-affected, are built from same portage snapshot. 

I can reproduce this via:

1. Have a virtual machine on a remote host, managed by libvirt. Graphics interface in VM is set to QXL and spice server
2. On admin-Terminal, open virt-manager and open the console for the VM
3. Crash. Thrown out of X, need to re-login

net-misc/spice-gtk-0.41-r1

Comment 7 Joakim Tjernlund 2023-05-22 13:30:16 UTC
I think my problem went away with x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl-0.1.6

Perhaps you need to rebuild this pkg to avoid any ABI issues ?
Comment 8 Joakim Tjernlund 2023-05-22 13:37:41 UTC
net-misc/spice-gtk-0.41-r1 is old
There is net-misc/spice-gtk-0.42
Comment 9 Alexander Puchmayr 2023-05-22 13:45:54 UTC
x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl is a driver module for Xorg. This is not involved in the problem:

The server(VM), to which I want to connect to, is in a text-console mode only installation, Xorg not even installed. libvirt/qemu is emulating a virtual QXL based graphics card.

The clients which are crashing, is (1) a native amd-radeon driver and the (2) a virtualbox based desktop system running the vmware driver.
Comment 10 Alexander Puchmayr 2023-05-23 06:32:05 UTC
Upgraded spice-gtk to net-misc/spice-gtk-0.42, but same problem. As soon as I open the virtmanager-console for a VM crash.

Patch that fixes the crash

I'm getting the same crash (different trigger, but the same stack trace).  I've attached a patch based on one on the upstream bug tracker that fixes it for me.

URL to upstream bug?

I have an identical back trace with an x11-wm/xpra-6.0.1 client on a machine using the "Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 20230929", on an old HD Graphics 2500. The patch Mark Wagner attached avoids the crash.
