[Nouveau] [Regression 2.6.39][nouveau][bisected?] leaving fullscreen XV "crashes" with KDE desktop effects enabled

Tue May 24 19:32:00 PDT 2011

HW: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce
8800 GTS 512] (rev a2)
Xorg log says: (--) NOUVEAU(0): Chipset: "NVIDIA NV92"
System is 64Bit x86

Saw it on first test of 2.6.39 with 2.6.39-rc3, but only now had time
to bisect from 2.6.39-rc3 to 2.6.38.
Since with desktop effects other corruptions are also much much worse
with 2.6.39 i found that this only happens with desktop effects.
To reproduce:
- enable KDE desktop effects
 (or make sure they are enabled, during bisect KDE disabled them due
to the crashes)
- start a video with mplayer using XV
- switch to full screen
- switch out of full screen
- quit mplayer
computer is "dead", really dead...

During bisect it also crashed on switching out of full screen,
sometime it wasn't totally dead, but only X11, or just badly
distorted/hangy (mouse still working, but nothing else of X11).

I tried to bisect it, but since i hit other problems (no graphics at
all or corrupted graphic from the start but could still operate blind
to test if leaving fullscreen/ending XV crashes) and the exact form of
crash changed during bisect, i'm not sure i hit the right commit (some
needed skips also do NOT raise the confidence).
2.6.39 final "crashes" on leaving full screen and only X11 is dead.
(during bisect if machine is still alive but X11 dead only one time i
found X11 stuck at 100% D-State (multicore helps...))

Unfortunately i'm to stupid to revert the commit.

If the machine was not deadly dead, things like this made it to syslog
(and syslog was on, thanks to the permission check patch...), from the
first derail point.

    drm/nv84: switch to new-style semaphores

    These are the same semaphores nvc0 will use, and they potentially allow
    us to do much cooler things than our current inter-channel sync impl.

    Lets switch to them where possible now for some testing.

But since i noticed this at 2.6.39-rc3 KDE was updated from 4.5 and if
i remember right also the other stuff.

So, throw patches at me, or tell me what other info you need, as long
as it does not contain a serial console or such things...

Greetings
