Description of problem: I run RHEL6 on a test machine with an old nvidia video card. When doing a certain thing (see below), Xorg will hang. Not only that, but Xorg will hang in an unkillable way, where not even SIGKILL can make X exit. At that point a reboot of the system is required to get X to restart... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.32-262.el6.x86_64 04:04.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) Steps to Reproduce: 1. start virt-manager 2. from the "view" menu, select the option to scale the guest display size to the window size 3. resize the guest window Actual results: Xorg hangs, and is not killable even with SIGKILL. I see this in dmesg: [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: Load detected on head A [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: Load detected on head A [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: Load detected on head A [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PFIFO_DMA_PUSHER - Ch 1 Get 0x000314c0 Put 0x0001fd90 State 0x8000a490 (err: INVALID_CMD) Push 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0400 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0404 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0408 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x040c data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0410 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0414 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0418 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x041c data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0420 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0424 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0428 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x042c data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0430 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0434 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0438 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x043c data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0440 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0444 data 0x00000000 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x0448 data 0x00000003 [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - NOTIFY nsource: METHOD_CNT nstatus: INVALID_STATE [drm] nouveau 0000:04:04.0: PGRAPH - ch 1/5 class 0x0061 mthd 0x044c data 0x00104300 Here is the kernel stack trace for Xorg: [<ffffffffa0100f81>] __nouveau_fence_wait+0xa1/0x100 [nouveau] [<ffffffffa00d5c01>] ttm_bo_wait+0x101/0x1b0 [ttm] [<ffffffffa01029bf>] nouveau_gem_ioctl_cpu_prep+0x6f/0xd0 [nouveau] [<ffffffffa00719c3>] drm_ioctl+0x473/0x510 [drm] [<ffffffff8118d742>] vfs_ioctl+0x22/0xa0 [<ffffffff8118d8e4>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x84/0x580 [<ffffffff8118de61>] sys_ioctl+0x81/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100b0f2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Expected results: Ideally things would just work. I understand this particular hardware may be too old to bother supporting, but it would still be nice for the nouveau driver to be robust against random failures. Additional info:
