--- Comment #61 from jackdachef@gmail.com --- thanks for all the fixes !
currently using http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/log/?h=drm-next-3.17-rebased-on-fix... and it looks pretty stable so far (radeonsi, R9 270X)
even with 3.14.14 there were some (pretty seldom) but occasional crashes of X:
vanilla 3.16-rc6 was pretty much unusable (X + box hardlocks)
and especially http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/?h=drm-next-3.17-wip (*without* the fixes) had dozens of gpu crashes yesterday evening/night which were recovering (probably thanks to radeon.hard_reset=1) without crashing X and hardlocking the system:
ring 0 stalled for more than 10010msec GPU lockup waiting for ... last fence id ... on ring 0 GPU softreset ...
[drm] UVD initialized successfully. [drm:r600_ib_test] *ERROR* radeon: fence wait failed (-35). [drm:radeon_ib_ring_tests] *ERROR* radeon: failed testing IB on GFX ring (-35) radeon 0000:01:00.0: ib ring test failed (-35) couldn't schedule ib still active bo inside vm GPU softreset ...

and messages in Xorg.0.log with (WW) RADEON(0): radeon_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 89175 < target_msc 89176
and
(WW) RADEON(0): flip queue failed: Invalid argument (WW) RADEON(0): Page flip failed: Invalid argument
currently still running with radeon.hard_reset=1 - but that probably shouldn't be needed anymore
best trigger for those occasional crashes was using chromium/chrome, watching videos on youtube, switching apps via alt+tab (using an composited desktop with compiz-fusion 0.8.8) and from time to time opening up gmail (which, if I remember correctly would cause the gpu to crash at least twice of these countless times yesterday)
