--- Comment #5 from Dave Witbrodt dawitbro@sbcglobal.net --- Created attachment 85830 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=85830&action=edit Sample of dmesg output
I began seeing these symptoms on my HD 7850 PITCAIRN when I attempted to upgrade Mesa from commit 6b5c802c (Sep. 2) to commit 2937d704 (Sep. 6). I had upgraded libdrm from 2.4.46 to commit 58d00888 at the same time.
The attached dmesg output looks a lot like the bug reported here by José, so I hope I'm not interfering with an unrelated problem.
I have been having trouble finding time to investigate, which is why I did not report this myself sooner. I am using a stable 3.10 kernel with DRM cherry picks from 3.11 and upcoming 3.12 -- which is not appropriate for use when reporting bugs. I also did not rebuild the entire X stack when I upgraded, but just libdrm and Mesa. There was a lot of due diligence I needed to perform before filing a bug report here...
Anyway, I'm glad to see others reporting this -- now I feel less alone. Not a lot happened in Mesa between 6b5c802c and 2937d704, so if it turns out that my Frankenstein kernel is not to blame, and rebuilding the X stack doesn't help, then I'm going to bisect Mesa. I have "good" and "bad" commits to use, and I'm really interested in seeing whether the one big Radeon change in that interval is the culprit:
