Priority: medium Bug ID: 75371 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: System hang with kernel 3.13 while playing Left 4 Dead 2 Severity: major Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: google@a7q.de Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: unspecified Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
Hey,
when playing Left 4 Dead 2 (only thing I tested) for a long time, the system randomly hangs. Happens maybe once an hour or so. I think it's not only X that crashes, but the whole kernel. Can't do sysrq, poweroff, restart..
I upgraded to the testing 3.13 kernel in archlinux, that's when I experienced it the first time. So I reverted back to 3.12 and everything was fine again. Now that 3.13 hit the core/stable repo I gave it another try and it started crashing again.
linux 3.13.4 (also 3.13, 3.13.1, 3.13.2 <- I'm not sure if it happened with all of these, but most likely it did ) ati hd 5850 (Cypress PRO) mesa-git - r600g ( Mesa 10.2.0-devel (git-9b2fe7c) )
dpm was also manually enabled with 3.12 and before, so it's likely not related to that. Never had problems with it.

--- Comment #1 from Alex Deucher agd5f@yahoo.com --- Can you bisect?

--- Comment #2 from Jochen Meyer google@a7q.de --- No, that would take forever and I have don't that much time ;)

I think it's still worth testing if the problem occurs with DPM explicitly disabled via radeon.dpm=0.

Please reconsider. For every gaming session, you should be able to declare at least one commit good or bad. It shouldn't take more than a dozen or so tests to isolate the problem with git bisect.

--- Comment #4 from Jochen M. google@a7q.de --- ok, I played it a bit again and it seems to be fixed since ~3.15 .
