Comment 1 Matěj Cepl 2008-11-19 11:27:13 UTC 
Wov! Could we get our classical trio (Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf if any, and dmesg), please?

Relevant part of dmesg is already reproduced in the original report above.
Comment 5 Dave Airlie 2008-11-19 21:08:51 UTC 
grab -54 of -ati and let me know if this happens again.

/me goes looking for memory leaks.

Ok, note I've only seen this once ever, but I'll report back here if it happens again. If not we can close this one.
Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 05:33:25 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 8 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2008-12-01 10:43:54 UTC 
There have been bunch of bug fixes

Could you retest with the latest kernel 
( -132 at the time of this writing )

You can get the latest kernel build here
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=72270 

And with the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati. 
( -60 at the time of this writing )

You can get the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati build here
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=95

And report back if it either improves or fixes this issue..

Thanks.

Johan,

I appreciate the efforts of the bug triaging team, but I would appreciate it even more if you people would first actually read the entire bug report, which part of:

(comment #6)
> Ok, note I've only seen this once ever, but I'll report back here if it happens
> again. If not we can close this one.

Did you not understand ?
Comment 10 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2008-12-01 12:06:30 UTC 
Haha I've been that end as well... 

Teaches a tester to be doing crappy triaging work.. 

For future reference there is nothing preventing you 
from closing it your self if this is one of those bugs that 
happen just only when the moon is full and all the stars are correctly
lined or do it if the problem has been fixed.... 

Just change the status from assigned to closed with the 
appropriate sub options of closed.

Thank you.
Comment 11 Hans de Goede 2008-12-02 09:16:16 UTC 
As discussed with the assignee just because this has not happened anymore does not mean this is fixed, so I'm re-opening this.

The issue is that the kernel code tries to kmalloc 64k, which translates to needing 16 (or 8 on x86_64) consecutive physical pages in a row, on a system which has been running for a while and thus has fragmented memory this will not always succeed.

The plan is to add a vmalloc fallback for now to work around this.
Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2009-02-20 22:31:58 UTC 
As I'm going to see if we can use priority and severity usefully, I'm dropping it on this bug, as it's obviously not something that is practically causing major problems at the moment.

Comment 13 Hin-Tak Leung 2009-09-15 00:49:36 UTC 
Still have those oom messages, although xorg does not crash (it just seems to be unresponsive for about a minute and comes back).

kernel-2.6.30.6-53.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-18.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.x86_64

I seem to be able to get this every couple of weeks, by running seamonkey (not firefox) and do the usual web browsing thing for a few days.

logs to follow.

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 08:53:41 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Comment 17 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:52:44 UTC 
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
