Is this a regression (what kernel version worked)?
Seems that the IOMMU can't find 128 pages. It's likely due to:
- out of the IOMMU space (possibly someone doesn't free the IOMMU space).
or
- the mapping parameters (such as align) aren't appropriate so the IOMMU can't find space.
I don't think KMS drivers have ever worked on alpha so its not a regression, they are working fine on x86 + powerpc and sparc has been run at least once.
KMS on the console boot up has worked since about 2.6.32, but starting up the X server has always failed and, in my case, the system becomes unstable and eventually OOPs.
I suspect we are simply hitting the limits of the iommu, how big an address space does it handle? since generally graphics drivers try to bind a lot of things to the GART.
No idea on the address space limit. I applied the patch of Fujita that logs all IOMMU allocations, and also inserted some extra printks in the ttm kernel code so that I could see which routines failed and the error code returned. Running the radeon test on boot exhibits the following:

Note that no IOMMU allocations are printed while radeon_test_moves is running so iommu_arena_alloc doesn't appear to be called. Also the error code returned up to radeon_test_moves is -12 which is ENOMEM. So does appear to be some memory limit.
Hmm, not related with IOMMU? looks like ttm_tt_populate could return ENOMEM too. Can we locate where we hit ENOMEM first?
Yeah, in ttm_mem_global_reserve while it is walking glob->zones:

On a hunch that we are chasing a red herring I installed another 256MB of memory into the machine (was 576MB for the test reported above) for a total of 832MB.
Now radeon_test_moves runs to completion without error.
OK, now a test of starting up the X server - ah, a bus error again but now it looks like it's in the radeon driver:

And nothing in dmesg. Now I'm not triggering the nasty page alloc errors.
Cheers Michael.
