RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2011:1530 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel security, bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 01:45:35 UTC

Description Dave Airlie 2011-08-05 09:53:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

On HP ELiteBook 2540p with Intel Ironlake Graphics, the drm rebased uncovered a bug in the IOMMU hardware. This causes the panic unless graphics passthrough is enabled.

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


How reproducible:

Run for a few hours with a kernel build in a terminal

Plan is get Intel to fix or if not just disable IOMMU for graphics device for G4x and Ironlake.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-08-05 10:09:43 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has 
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed 
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
Comment 3 Dave Airlie 2011-10-11 12:19:08 UTC 
Better reproducer,

Get a ILK laptop that supports VT-d properly, HP Elitebook 2540p, not a lot of Lenovo ILK fail to enable graphics VT-d due to a bios bug.

Use desktop effects to enable compiz, open a gnome-terminal

run while [ 1 == 1 ]; do find . ; done

Leave running as long as possible, eventually machine will hang.
Comment 4 Dave Airlie 2011-10-11 14:30:20 UTC 
oh you have to enable VT-d in the BIOS and boot EL6.2 kernels with intel_iommu=on
Comment 8 Dave Airlie 2011-10-18 08:24:20 UTC 
If the Ironlake can enable VT-D and if VT-d works on it.

Some BIOSes mess up, you'll see
DMAR: BIOS has allocated no shadow GTT; disabling IOMMU for graphics

in dmesg, reproducing on these is also difficult (if possible at all).
