Hi Michel,
3.15 doesn't contain Christian's fix yet, so it should be always broken for everybody. The fix is currently only in 3.16.
Alternatively, you can cherry-pick the fix to 3.15, but it doesn't apply cleanly.
There is a workaround in 3.15 which disables sDMA and uses CP DMA for copying buffers. It seems to help Christian's machine, but not mine.
When I said the kernel driver was broken, I meant that it was broken *with* the fix applied regardless of which engine was used for the copying.

Hi Marek,
ah, yes! Piglit in combination with that patch can indeed crash the box.
Going to investigate now that I can reproduce it.
I wonder if it's a clockgating issue with the MC or BIF? You might try adjusting the rdev->cg_flags (try setting it to 0) in radeon_asic.c or disabling dpm.
Unfortunately that was just a false alarm.
I was just on a branch which didn't had the "stop poisoning the GART TLB" patch, after applying this patch I can again let piglit run for the whole night without a lockup.
No idea what goes wrong when Marek runs piglit, but 3.15.0+"stop poisoning the GART TLB"+"force_gtt" is rock solid here.
FWIW, 3.15 doesn't survive piglit on my Bonaire either, but 3.14 is fine. 3.15 seems stable on Kaveri though, but I haven't tried the force_gtt patch on that yet.
There have also been a number of bug reports about stability regressions in 3.15 on various SI and CIK cards. It seems likely that at least some of those are related to this issue as well.
If we can't figure out the problem soon, we probably need to revert the 'Use normal BOs for page tables' and dependent changes at least for 3.15.y?
