          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 59769
          Assignee: chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
           Summary: Scrolling locks up, many (EE) in log "Failed to submit
                    batch buffer"
        QA Contact: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: major
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: pjb1 at tctwest.net
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Driver/intel
           Product: xorg

Error message "(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering
corruption or even a frozen display: Resource deadlock avoided." The log fills
with many copies of this message.

See thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156486
Google does not find this error message anywhere but in that one thread.

Symptom is that console or browser text windows lock up, go black, or text is
overwritten when attempting to scroll back and forth with large windows, or "it
appears immediately after using some fast-refreshing screen apps like mplayer2
or skype video." A reboot fixes it, for a while. It's apparently seen on Atom
processors with low graphics performance. Motherboard is an Intel D510MO, the
driver is i915.

My upgrades that showed this bug were:
upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.20.13-1 -> 2.20.18-1)
upgraded xorg-server (1.13.0-4 -> 1.13.1-1)
upgraded xorg-server-common (1.13.0-4 -> 1.13.1-1)
upgraded xorg-bdftopcf (1.0.3-2 -> 1.0.4-1)

One user who saw this said downgrading xf86 to 2.20.17 fixed it.
