on 3.2.23 all right on 3.5 kernel [TTM] Out of kernel memory
Same problem here with 3.6.6 kernel
Same issue here: Also Nvidia 8600, on HP dv9700 laptop: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8600M GS] (rev a1) The same problem easily reproduced by running easytag (GTK app) under KDE. Using Ubuntu 12.10, kernel 3.5.0. There were no such issue with Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2.0).
after about two days of up-time, xorg goes to 100% cpu. shortly thereafter receive the following: Jan 17 19:18:32 acan kernel: [TTM] Out of kernel memory Jan 17 19:18:32 acan kernel: [TTM] Out of kernel memory Jan 17 19:18:32 acan kernel: radeon 0000:0f:00.0: object_init failed for (8192, 0x00000006) Jan 17 19:18:32 acan kernel: [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (8192, 4, 4096, -12) this has occurred with both nvidia FX1800 w/nouveau driver and ati FMV2250. 0f:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI FireMV 2250 [1002:719b] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device [1002:0602] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 24 Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at f5000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] I/O ports at e000 [size=256] [virtual] Expansion ROM at f5020000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [58] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [80] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: radeon system is HP Z600 w/2 x X5650 and 12GB memory.

Has this been resolved? I'm using 3.4.20 and I see this issue every time.
I have just the same thing on 3.6.11 kernel: Feb 3 06:54:27 cybernest kernel: [329369.962274] [TTM] Out of kernel memory Feb 3 06:54:27 cybernest kernel: [329369.962279] radeon 0000:01:00.0: object_init failed for (4096, 0x00000002) Feb 3 06:54:27 cybernest kernel: [329369.962281] [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (4096, 2, 4096, -12) I use xorg-server-1.13.1 (xf86-video-ati-7.0.0) and mesa-9.0.1. I can provide more info if needed.
Created attachment 92571 [details] Config of working linux-3.7.4 Tried a kernel 3.7.4 for some days and it seems to work with config attached.
After a week uptime still have this error even on linux 3.7.4
I have the same problem with ati card (Radeon HD 6670): ... [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (4096, 6, 4096, -12) [TTM] Out of kernel memory [TTM] Out of kernel memory [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (4096, 6, 4096, -12) ... This happened with 3.5.x, 3.6.x and currently with 3.7.6. Last known good state is kernel 3.2.13. At some point the OOM-Killer kicks in, however, that does not help. I can kill any app, stop X and my displaymanager, stop mostly any service there is and that does not help. /proc/meminfo shows (and that gets worse): MemTotal: 32880920 kB MemFree: 729688 kB Buffers: 728 kB Cached: 25403768 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 3202980 kB Inactive: 25110208 kB Active(anon): 3178992 kB Inactive(anon): 25065012 kB Active(file): 23988 kB Inactive(file): 45196 kB ... sync ; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches does not help. The memory is gone and at some point I have to restart to regain memory. If that helps, userspace is: xf86-video-ati 7.0.0, mesa 9.0.1, xorg-server 1.13.1
Seems to be fixed for me with 3.8.0. No kernel-crash/reboot for 3 days, yay!
Closing
I'm running kernel 3.8.7 and still having this issue. dmesg is full of these lines: [126466.384749] [TTM] Out of kernel memory [126466.384752] [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (4096, 6, 4096, -12) This problem started after updating Kubuntu 12.10 a few days ago. Latest kernel does not fix the issue.
This is a kwin bug, kwin select msaa visual which is problematic, there is also a fix in mesa git. In no case this is a kernel bug
I'll give mesa git a try and hope to be able to switch back to kwin soon. However, shouldn't the memory be freed after killing kwin and after shutting down xdm and so on? But that's not the case, the error resides.
