Subject: Broken locking in ttm_bo_swapout
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:53:16 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D38849C.5020808@tadpole.com> (raw)

I have a fairly simple opengl application running on nouveau. It 
effectively just plots a couple of very large images that change regularly.

I've been getting an easily repeatable failure, hitting the
BUG_ON(in_interrupt) in vfree() that is called during ttm_shrink_work().
Obviously vfree() is being called with a lock held...

Looking at the locking up through the stack trace, there's an obvious 
mistake:

There should be a:
spin_lock(&glob->lru_lock);
before the continue in ttm_bo_swapout() in drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo.c

                         continue;
                 }

That fixes the problem for me.
