Somewhere in the Radeon/DRM codebase, CMA page allocation has either regressed in the timeline of 4.5->4.9, and/or the drm/radeon code is doing something different with pages.
Could be that it didn't use dma_generic_alloc_coherent() before, or you didn't have the generic CMA pool configured. What's the output of "grep CMA" on your .config? Or any kernel boot options with cma in name? By default config this should not be used on x86.
Given that I haven't seen ANY other reports of this, I'm inclined to believe the problem is drm/radeon specific (if I don't start X, I can't reproduce the problem).
It's rather CMA specific, the allocation attemps just can't be 100% reliable due to how CMA works. The question is if it should be spewing in the log in the context of dma-cma, which has a fallback allocation option. It even uses __GFP_NOWARN, perhaps the CMA path should respect that?
The rate of the problem starts slow, and also is relatively low on an idle system (my screens blank at night, no xscreensaver running), but it still ramps up over time (to the point of generating 2.5GB/hour of "(timestamp) alloc_contig_range: [83e4d9, 83e4da) PFNs busy"), with various addresses (~100 unique ranges for a day). My X workload is ~50 chrome tabs and ~20 terminals (over 3x 24" monitors w/ 9 virtual desktops per monitor).
So IIUC, except the messages, everything actually works fine?
I added a stack trace & rate limit to alloc_contig_range's PFNs busy message (patch in previous email on LKML/-MM lists); and they point to radeon. alloc_contig_range: [83f2a3, 83f2a4) PFNs busy CPU: 3 PID: 8518 Comm: X Not tainted 4.9.0-rc7-00024-g6ad4037e18ec #27 Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/P8Z68 DELUXE, BIOS 0501 05/09/2011 ffffad50c3d7f730 ffffffffb236c873 000000000083f2a3 000000000083f2a4 ffffad50c3d7f810 ffffffffb2183b38 ffff999dff4d8040 0000000020fca8c0 000000000083f400 000000000083f000 000000000083f2a3 0000000000000004 Call Trace: [<ffffffffb236c873>] dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 [<ffffffffb2183b38>] alloc_contig_range+0x368/0x370 [<ffffffffb2202d37>] cma_alloc+0x127/0x2e0 [<ffffffffb24c4b28>] dma_alloc_from_contiguous+0x38/0x40 [<ffffffffb2020b01>] dma_generic_alloc_coherent+0x91/0x1d0 [<ffffffffb2049b75>] x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent+0x25/0x50 [<ffffffffc0ef17da>] ttm_dma_populate+0x48a/0x9a0 [ttm] [<ffffffffb21df8d6>] ? __kmalloc+0x1b6/0x250 [<ffffffffc0f2a3ea>] radeon_ttm_tt_populate+0x22a/0x2d0 [radeon] [<ffffffffc0ee80f7>] ? ttm_dma_tt_init+0x67/0xc0 [ttm] [<ffffffffc0ee7cc7>] ttm_tt_bind+0x37/0x70 [ttm] [<ffffffffc0ee9e58>] ttm_bo_handle_move_mem+0x528/0x5a0 [ttm] [<ffffffffb219464a>] ? shmem_alloc_inode+0x1a/0x30 [<ffffffffc0eead24>] ttm_bo_validate+0x114/0x130 [ttm] [<ffffffffb269346e>] ? _raw_write_unlock+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffffc0eeb05d>] ttm_bo_init+0x31d/0x3f0 [ttm] [<ffffffffc0f2b7ab>] radeon_bo_create+0x19b/0x260 [radeon] [<ffffffffc0f2b2e0>] ? radeon_update_memory_usage.isra.0+0x50/0x50 [radeon] [<ffffffffc0f3e29d>] radeon_gem_object_create+0xad/0x180 [radeon] [<ffffffffc0f3e6ff>] radeon_gem_create_ioctl+0x5f/0xf0 [radeon] [<ffffffffc0e3a9eb>] drm_ioctl+0x21b/0x4d0 [drm] [<ffffffffc0f3e6a0>] ? radeon_gem_pwrite_ioctl+0x30/0x30 [radeon] [<ffffffffc0f0d04c>] radeon_drm_ioctl+0x4c/0x80 [radeon] [<ffffffffb221bae2>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x92/0x5c0 [<ffffffffb221c089>] SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 [<ffffffffb2002bf3>] do_syscall_64+0x73/0x190 [<ffffffffb26936c8>] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 The Radeon card in my case is a VisionTek HD 7750 Eyefinity 6, which is reported as: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
