system log from crash

Description of problem:

This seems kind of weird, but I can reliably trigger a hang of the GUI on my
system by running geeqie and right-clicking on the file list. The context menu
comes up, but the mouse and keyboard immediately become nonresponsive. I can
ssh in and reboot, though.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.11-2.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:

Seems to be always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run geeqie in a directory with a number of jpg files
2. right click on one of those files in the list
3. boom

Actual results:

mouse and keyboard freeze

Expected results:

not that.

Additional info:

system log is full of lines like:

Apr 24 21:26:22 system.example.org kernel: nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0]
PBDMA0: ch 1 [DRM] subc 0 mthd 0x001c data 0x00001004

PBDMA0: ACQUIRE


And by "full", I mean about 7.6 million lines of that in a few minutes
-- so
much that it seems to have wiped out previous log information by sheer volume,
triggering systemd's log rotation.


This didn't happen with Fedora 21. I'm running under GNOME Shell -- I
have not
tried other environments.

A bug filed in Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215329 has
additional logs from another tester who was able to reproduce.

I suspect you have libdrm-2.4.60? If so, please downgrade to 2.4.59.

I can confirm that the crash does not seem to occur with libdrm 2.4.59. Does
that make this a libdrm bug, then?
