Nouveau - Feb 2011 - [Bug 34469] New: libdrm modetest fails, and causes kernel panic

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34469

           Summary: libdrm modetest fails, and causes kernel panic
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/DRI/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: darxus at chaosreigns.com


The modetest program with -v argument should flip back and forth between a
color test pattern and a solid grey screen.  Running just "./modetest"
said I
was running 1600x1200 @75hz.  I ran "./modetest -s 7:1600x1200 -v" and
"./modetest -s 7:640x480 -v", both gave me a lot of garbage.  I ran
"./modetest
-s 7:1600x1200 at 75 -v", and got an almost steady display alternating
vertically
between bars of the color pattern and the solid grey.  Very roughly 20 rows of
pixels each.

Later I ran just "./modetest -s 7:1600x1200 at 75" and got a kernel
panic.  I got
a photo, but I need to find my CF reader.  It included:
...RIP... nouveau_finish_page_flip+0xae/0x1a0 [nouveau]

I was using an NV50 family card, G92 [GeForce 8800 GT].

I believe this is related to the corruption I'm occasionally seeing in
wayland's DRM output.

The very next commit in the tree (8e645575d469bf08c9d5d98a101ef4cfce6a9180
"drm/nouveau: Fix pageflip event") has a fix related to page flipping,
could
you please try it.

Sorry I failed to mention, I had applied that "drm/nouveau: Fix pageflip
event"
patch manually, before it was committed.  Without it the screen never update in
wayland (DRM), staying frozen on the first frame.  I expect modetest would have
done the same.

This was apparently fixed at some point before Ubuntu kernel 3.0.0-17-generic
was packaged.  Any idea which commit it was?
