That is probably what's going on then - the GC600 is not particularly
fast when dealing with 1080p resolutions.
I think what your commit to use the DRM scheduler is missing is the
progress detection in the original scheme - we used to assume that if
the GPU FE DMA address had progressed, that the GPU was not hung.
Now it seems we merely do this by checking for events.

No, it's not "a really big job" - it's just that the Dove GC600 is not
fast enough to complete _two_ 1080p sized GPU operations within 500ms.
The preceeding job contained two blits - one of them a non-alphablend
copy of:
00180000 04200780 0,24,1920,1056 -> 0,24,1920,1056
and one an alpha blended copy of:
00000000 04380780 0,0,1920,1080 -> 0,0,1920,1080
This is (iirc) something I already fixed with the addition of the
progress detection back before etnaviv was merged into the mainline
kernel.
