Created attachment 35832 [details] My kernel config Hi, The screen on my laptop randomly turns blank. It happened a few times while using VLC. I'm not able to switch to tty and I have to reboot the machine. The error message is: [22971.022943] [drm:i915_gem_object_bind_to_gtt] *ERROR* Attempting to bind a purgeable object [22972.733431] [drm:intel_panel_get_max_backlight] *ERROR* fixme: max PWM is zero. [22973.900121] chrome[28659]: segfault at 20a24948d72 ip 0000000001ddf097 sp 00007f63758af960 error 4 in chrome[400000+2201000] Note that chrome segfaults just after the drm error. I'm constantly upgrading my kernel from the git tree and the problem happened in the last 2-3 days, so it seems that the regression is newly introduced. Bug 21442 may be related, although it appeared a few days earlier and can be avoided by enabling CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS. The system is a Toshiba Satellite laptop and I pass "ro root=803 resume=/dev/sda3 resume_offset=3215360" to the kernel. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 03) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 3 (rev 03) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 03) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev f3) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801HEM (ICH8M) LPC Interface Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

A compound userspace bug. First it attempts to mmap a purged buffer (i.e. one it has told the kernel to discard under memory pressure) and then doesn't check the error return and attempts to dereference an invalid pointer. The bug is most likely an old one in mesa (given chrome likes to statically link crap into its binary).
