Yeah. I should have give you more information. My bad. > > I suspect that you use CMA without IOMMU and you have too small global CMA > region. Yes. I have CMA and using exynos_defconfig. Nothing fancy. I think what's happening is s5p_mfc pre-allocates and there is nothing left when disaply manager starts requestuing gem buffers. This failure happens when systemd kicks off lightdm. > After this patch MFC driver uses global CMA region instead of the MFC's > private > ones, so one has to ensure that the global region is large enough. This is still a regression since it requires users to take some action. I think we need some kind of checks to warn users there isn't a large enough CMA region. This is the same config I have been using forever and with this patch, it breaks. Easy to reproduce on odroid-xu4 with HDMI display. You just have to boot the system with exynos_defconfig. Display manager will fail when it requests buffers. thanks, -- Shuah > >> [...] > > > Best regards > -- > Marek Szyprowski, PhD > Samsung R&D Institute Poland >
