I see hangs with kernel 3.15 and SI under memory pressure, e.g. if I boot with radeon.vramlimit=256 and then run Xonotic timedemo with high settings. I haven't had a chance to bisect it yet, but it might be a similar problem.
Sounds like the same issue to me. Thx for the good test case.
Any idea what is wrong with it?
Actually I already wondered that it went so smooth without any regression so far, didn't noticed the bug in bugzilla.kernel.org yet.
Some of the tests allocate a lot of MSAA textures and the tests also run in parallel, which creates a lot of memory pressure and probably causes buffer evictions.
Sounds like the underlying problem to me. We probably evict some part of a page table without updating the page directory. Going to dig into it today, it's probably just a one liner missing somewhere in the VM code.

The simplest way to reproduce the hangs is to run piglit with these parameters: -t texelFetch.fs
