Summary: Heroes of Newerth crashes with cs parser error Product: Mesa Version: git Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Keywords: regression Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/DRI/R600 AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: stephan@ehilb.de
The game Heroes of Newerth (also referred to as HoN) crashes in certain circumstances with the following error message in dmesg:
[ 1797.294324] [drm:radeon_cs_parser_init] *ERROR* cs IB too big: 26607 [ 1797.294327] [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Failed to initialize parser !
It's occuring during normal gameplay in situations with high graphic workload (as far as I can tell). I was up until recently using older libs for playing HoN with the r600 driver and thus noticed this bug as a regression. It is possible to reproduce the bug quite reliably by following these steps:
1. Start HoN 2. Create a practice game 3. Select a slot and start the game 4. Select any hero and wait for the countdown or skip the countdown by pressing ready 5. As the game starts, open the test-menu at the top left of the screen and press the “Spawn”-button right of where it reads “Creeps” multiple times (~20-30 times). There should be spawning many creeps at your base. 6. Pan the viewport to include as many creeps as possible. 7. Press the “Kill”-button right next to the “Spawn”-button. 8. 1-2 seconds later the game crashes. 9. You notice the error messages in dmesg

r600: add support for draw_elements_base_vertex
use VTX_BASE_VTX_LOC for offset, last time using INDEX_OFFSET was probably a wrong register for this

I tried to the best of my ability to manually revert the commit and it proved to be the cause of the bug. I'm running mesa-git right now with that commit manually reverted and HoN is running fine.
Note: This might be the same bug as described in this comment: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25114#c7
Let me know if there is any information missing.
