[Nouveau] Bug: noveau DATA_ERROR / CACHE_ERROR on Quadro NVS 290

Fri Apr 11 09:36:51 PDT 2014

Hi, there!

Every once in a while / about once a day I have nouveau for a Quadro NVS
290 failing in my
system from about kernel 3.10...up to now 3.14, so I finally decided to
report this bug as
it gets really annoying. After the bug appears, there are some (one per
DATA_ERROR line)
small 20x20 to 40x40 pixel sized odd shaped white block artefacts stuck
on my (dual monitor)
desktop. After a restart of X, the artefacts disappear until the bug
triggers again.

I am on a current Arch Linux Distro. The motherboard is from an
industrial system which is
otherwise running fine and very stable.

Here are some log outputs:

                       (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)

Is this a hardware bug or some driver issue?
Any hints are welcome.

I am able to patch, compile and test a custom kernel (latest git)
if its of any use.

Regards,

Clemens
