Nothing in dmesg, I will try some more experiments shortly including the ones you suggest below. Just in case it wasn't clear those xorg hangs do not happen on the branch head if I get lucky and manage to log in without the GPU lockup so if they are different bugs it at least appears that both present at the same time. > > And it's probably 15 seconds, if it's called through nouveau_fence_wait. > > Try changing else if (!ret) to else if (WARN_ON(!ret)) in that function, and see if you get some dmesg spam. :) > > > >> On the EDITED patch from fixed-fences-for-bisect, can you do the following: > >> > >> In nouveau/nv84_fence.c function nv84_fence_context_new, remove > >> > >> fctx->base.sequence = nv84_fence_read(chan); > >> > >> and add back > >> > >> nouveau_bo_wr32(priv->bo, chan->chid * 16/4, 0x00000000); > > Making your suggested change on top of each 86be4f21 and 1c6aafb5 made > > no noticeable difference in either of the two behaviors. > > > >> If that fails you should compile your kernel with trace events, to get some debugging info from the fences.
