Since 3.17-rc1 my radeon card (RV370 / X1050 card) causes screen corruption
after a while in X + firefox. This still occurs with yesterday's HEAD
of Linus' repo. 3.16 and ealier kernels are fine.
I ran a bisect, which identified:
commit 72a9987edcedb89db988079a03c9b9c65b6ec9ac
Author: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@xxxxxxx>
Date: Thu Jul 31 18:43:49 2014 +0900
drm/radeon: Always flush the HDP cache before submitting a CS to the GPU
as the cause of my screen corruption. Reverting this from 3.17-rc2
(which requires manual intervention due to subsequent changes in
radeon_ring_commit()) eliminates the screen corruption.
User-space is vanilla Fedora 19 / x86_64 with updates. radeon_drv.so says:
[ 62.574] (II) LoadModule: "radeon"
[ 62.574] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
[ 62.574] (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

[ 62.574] Module class: X.Org Video Driver

...
[ 62.585] (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon X550 (RV370) 5B63 (PCIE)" (ChipID = 0x5b63)
