os: Fix timer race conditions
Fixing following kind of race-conditions -
WaitForSomething()
|
----> // timers -> timer-1 -> timer-2 -> null
while (timers && (int) (timers->expires - now) <= 0)
// prototype - DoTimer(OsTimerPtr timer, CARD32 now,
OsTimerPtr *prev)
DoTimer(timers, now, &timers)
|
|
----> OsBlockSignals(); .... OS Signal comes just before
blocking it,
.... timer-1 handler gets called.
// timer-1 gets served and
scheduled again;
// timers -> timer-2 ->
timer-1 -> null
....
*prev = timer->next;
timer->next = NULL; // timers -> null
// timers list gets corrupted here and timer-2 gets
removed from list.

Title:
[nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad
Status in X.Org X server:
Fix Released
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Using Asus N43SL laptop as an example, with nvidia-prime installed, so
the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card (GT 540m) is in use, once in a
while, my screen will freeze when I use my touchpad.
WORKAROUND: Use USB mouse.
WORKAROUND: Uninstall nvidia-prime and use integrated graphics.
WORKAROUND: Do a VT switch via Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7.
In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad:
touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control:
