Details

Description:

After upgrading to mesa 10.6.0-1 under the Intel Graphics, with the work of the VA-API display slows down and freezes.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
mesa 10.6.0-1
mesa-libgl 10.6.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.
System: 4.0.6-1-ck x86_64 (64 bit), (tested also 4.0.5-2), Desktop: KDE (Plasma 5.3)
CPU: Dual core Intel Core i5 M 450 (-HT-MCP-) cache: 3072 KB
Graphics: Card: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
Display Server: X.Org 1.17.2 driver: intel Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ironlake Mobile GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 10.6.0

This is the first generation of Intel Core also tested on the second and fourth generation and it works properly.

Steps to reproduce:

Metod 1
- install mesa 10.6.0-1 and mesa-libgl 10.6.0-1
- install mpv and configure it:
vo=opengl
hwdec=vaapi
- play any video,

Metod 2
- install mesa 10.6.0-1 and mesa-libgl 10.6.0-1
- install kodi
- enable VA-API (Settings > Video > Acceleration)
- play any video

Symptoms: display slows down and freezes

Tested on:
- xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+364+gb24e758-1 and 2.99.917-5
- AccelMethod, SNA, UXA, glamor
- Linux 4.0.6 and 4.0.5-2

It helps only downgrade to mesa and mesa-libgl to 10.5.7-1

Does not help downgrade xf86-video-intel to 2.99.917-5, therefore the suspicion that the problem is mesa.

"This is the first generation of Intel Core also tested on the second and fourth generation and it works properly."

Will correct:
The problem is on Intel Core i5 M 450 - first generation (Nehalem) of Intel Core, also tested on the i3-3220T - third generation (Ivy Bridge) and i3-4005U fourth generation (Haswell) and it works properly.
I did not test for second-generation (Sandy Bridge).

On most video files you can see the problem, but not all.
You can test to: Jellyfish Video Bitrate Test Files http://jell.yfish.us/

Mesa 10.6.1 does not resolve this bug.

Anyone reported this to mesa upstream? Bugs don't magically fix themselves, developers need to be told about them.

In the meantime, does vo=vaapi work? It's a better option than opengl anyway, it uses less resources. The advantage of opengl is the high quality stuff (vo=opengl-hq), but even here vo=vaapi:scaling=hq provides something very similar, but with less resource usage. See here for a test I did: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/1765#issuecomment-91191085

Until the release of the next version of the mesa, I have a request for maintainers to recompile mesa with reverse patch:
https://git.thm.de/tjkl80/mesa/commit/0e0e23ef537c9add672ff322f34e129a07edc55e.patch

More information at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91254

I tested and it works correctly, if anyone needs it attach ready PKGBUILD

In 10.6.2 is the same bug.
This patch also works with 10.6.2, or you can ask for the imposition of a package maintainer?

Fixed in 10.6.6
