dmesg output

When trying to start the X server through the the login manager, the radeon module seems to crash leaving the system without graphical output (but otherwise working). This happens every time as soon as PC boots.

Going back to v3.17.2 fixes the issue.

This seems to be relevant dmesg part:

Comment 1 Christopher Frömmel 2014-11-19 03:40:12 UTC
I can confirm this.
My laptop can boot with 3.17.3 with 2 additional monitors connected (DVI + HDMI) and all 3 screens are working.
But when X is starting, kernel goes OOPS if HDMI is connected. I can reboot via ssh then.
If HDMI is connected AFTER X has been started, system will enter a hard lockup state.

Will add my current .config and dmesg part.

Does reverting commit ffe0245532b98efc4bc0e06f29c51d3f0e471152 help? If not, can you bisect?
Comment 6 Daniel Otero 2014-11-19 14:38:30 UTC
Reverting the commit ffe0245532b98efc4bc0e06f29c51d3f0e471152 from the tag v3.17.3 does resolve the issue.

Thanks for your time.
Comment 7 Alex Deucher 2014-11-19 16:46:30 UTC
Should be fixed by http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=83d04c39f9048807a8500e575ae3f1718a3f45bb
which needs to go to stable.
Comment 8 Daniel Otero 2014-11-19 21:06:56 UTC
Applying the patch of Alex's commit solved the issue.
Comment 9 Christopher Frömmel 2014-11-20 01:08:31 UTC
Thanks to everyone involved. Report and fix within 20 hours. Awesome!
Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2014-11-22 00:54:32 UTC
I'm not sure it's right to mark it as fixed until the patch goes to 3.17 - it's fixed in mainline, sure, but not stable. The fix seems to have missed the boat for 3.17.4. (I got burned by this with OpenELEC 5.0 beta 3, which happened to get kernel 3.17.3, and is commonly used on systems with Radeon graphics adapters and HDMI displays as it's an HTPC appliance distro...)
Comment 11 Daniel Otero 2014-11-22 13:35:22 UTC
The bug is pretty nasty and the fix is quite trivial, so I don't know why wasn't included in the 3.17.4 release. I assume it's because didn't seem so urgent, but actually leave my system unusable.

I don't know the procedure to reach the current stable branch, but if it's going to be a 3.17.5 release, this fix should be in there. Should I mail Greg KH about the bug?

Anyway, I don't think leaving it open will make any difference.
Comment 12 Alex Deucher 2014-11-27 01:33:50 UTC
The patch was sent to stable last week.  It should show up any time now.
Comment 13 Cherry Ontop 2014-12-12 10:58:42 UTC
Does this bug still persist in 3.17.6-1 or is it patched there?
