Right... Well... You know... if you want the evdev driver to overflow the event
queue... then it helps if you actually generate events... like... by moving the
mouse a bit... *stares at floor ashamedly*
Anyway, there is full reproduction (when you've finally realised that you have
to move the mouse a bit). And the conclusion then only becomes that this is 2
different issues.
1) the intel driver messing up.
2) the radeonhd driver messing up.
Both are of course busywaiting on something related to the drm. It's just that
the symptom is pretty much the same that these are looking alike.
You don't fully need the patch jackson provided, you can also attach gdb to the
process and then you should be able to see where it is stuck as well, but the
patch helps (when it's there) as it requires no further intervention as the log
contains everything one needs to know.
I'll bring up a separate bug on the radeonhd issue, attach your backtrace of
that, explain briefly how i reproduce it and explain the broad reason for it
crashing. Sadly this won't mean that the issue can be fixed easily.
In the intel case, it will also be severely non-trivial to fix, even though the
hardware probably isn't as highly optimised and picky as radeonhd hw. But
that's for upstream to deal with.
