Subject: [PATCH] Do not loop on ERESTARTSYS using interruptible waits
Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 05:54:54 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <163000764.1114319.1432029294390.JavaMail.zimbra@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1591625424.1112688.1432028990916.JavaMail.zimbra@redhat.com>

This problem happens using KMS surfaces and QXL driver.
To easy reproduce use KDE Plasma (which use surfaces a lot) and assure
you are using KMS surfaces (QXL driver on Fedora/RedHat has a patch to
stop using them). Open some complex application like LibreOffice and
after a while your machine get stuck using 100% CPU on Xorg.
The problem occurs as creating new surfaces not interruptible wait
are used however instead of returning ERESTARTSYS back to userspace
you try to loop but wait routines always keep returning ERESTARTSYS
once the signal is marked.
On out of memory conditions TTM module try to move objects to system
memory and QXL assure surface is updated before the move.
The fix handle differently this case using no interruptible wait so
wait functions will wait instead of returning ERESTARTSYS.
Note the when the loop occurs driver will send a lot of update requests
causing more CPU usage on Qemu side too.
