Priority: medium Bug ID: 81045 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: [r600] Unreal Engine 4 demo crashed kernel Severity: major Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: nikoli@gmx.us Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: XOrg CVS Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
Created attachment 102434 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=102434&action=edit kernel messages
Tried running Unreal Engine 4 demos from https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Linux_Demos 'Mobile Temple Demo' started, worked bad (image was too dark, possible to see almost nothing), but did not crash anything. Next tried 'Effects Cave Demo': in a few seconds after first start of demo X server became not responding (not even possible to switch with ctrl+alt+f1), it was flickering between grey fill and normal desktop (seems kernel tried to restart GPU), then system became fully unresponsive: ssh did not work, power button did not send system to suspend. Attached kernel messages saved by syslog.
I never had GPU related stability problems with 3.12.x-3.14.x kernels before: several opengl 3d games worked fine, opengl based mpv video output worked fine, glxgears and stellarium worked fine too.
Did unreal engine try to use some non implemented or unstable features? Why kernel allowed to crash itself instead of killing userspace app?
