I testet Linus' Git tree @ 5d80f8e5a (merge
net-2.6) and discovered that X hung after starting up gdm.

When i start gdm the screen is frozen and X hangs. 
I was able to bisect it down to 

40a5f0decdf050785ebd62b36ad48c869ee4b384 drm/i915: Fix lock order
reversal in GEM relocation entry copying.


when hung /proc/[xpid]/stack did contain:

[<ffffffff8024c13e>] msleep_interruptible+0x2e/0x40
[<ffffffff80557fdd>] i915_wait_ring+0x17d/0x1d0
[<ffffffff8056280d>] i915_gem_execbuffer+0xd2d/0xf70
[<ffffffff80546555>] drm_ioctl+0x1f5/0x320
[<ffffffff802d8ce5>] vfs_ioctl+0x85/0xa0
[<ffffffff802d8f0b>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x20b/0x510
[<ffffffff802d9297>] sys_ioctl+0x87/0xa0
[<ffffffff8020ba8b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff


I reverted that commit now on top of 5d80f8e5a and all 's well .


My X-Stack is from Git at around 20th march. I will update that now,
but as it hangs in a kernel syscall, it shouldn't matter?

Sincerely,

Florian

p.s. no kms
