Description Gabriele Svelto 2022-08-03 09:07:12 UTC

Description of problem:

Firefox crashes when playing video on laptops with dual Intel/NVidia GPUs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This seems to happen only on Fedora 36 with mesa version 22.1.3 and 22.1.4

Steps to Reproduce:

There are several users on Firefox' bug tracker reporting that it crashes while watching videos on a few different streaming services.

Additional info:

The crash was detected while triaging Firefox crashes, this seems to affect only the Mesa version that ships with Fedora. The crashing address corresponds to a line that should not cause a crash in upstream Mesa so we suspect a Fedora-specific change is responsible.

Comment 1 Athul Iddya 2022-08-08 01:11:57 UTC

I have observed the crashes on a system with a single Intel GPU (Alder Lake Xe Graphics). The crashes occur regardless of hardware-accelerated video decoding being turned on or off.

Package versions:

firefox-103.0.1-2.fc36.x86_64
mesa-libGL-22.1.4-2.fc36.x86_64
mesa-libEGL-22.1.4-2.fc36.x86_64

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 3 Ludek Smid 2023-05-25 15:24:51 UTC

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
