--- Comment #6 from Jérôme Glisse glisse@freedesktop.org 2013-01-30 17:22:36 --- It's not completely a kernel bug. It's userspace asking insane things to kernel.

This mesa patch should avoid the issue most of the time : http://people.freedesktop.org/~glisse/0001-r600g-add-cs-memory-usage-account...

If you are using a recent mesa with gnome you will probably want this cogl patch too : http://people.freedesktop.org/~glisse/0001-glx-do-not-use-multisample-visual...

And for kernel i am working on better handling of memory fragmentation.
