Description

Somewhere between v2.13.0-39-gc3ec66..v2.13.0-204-gdf5ed code changes cause now
xorg radeon driver to fail memory allocation, falling back to sw operation; this
mean no dri and no Xv (guess how long windows scrolling takes with a full HD
monitor...)

From dmesg:

contigmalloc_map: failed size 33554432 low=0 high=ffffffff align=4096 boundary=0
flags=00000102

Happens everytime at system startup where no heavy memory load / fragmentation
should happen. Allocation size is 1/127 of low--high range (so not a terrific
one), flags are NOWAIT|ZERO.

kldunload radeon and drm (latter causes calling contigmalloc thru ioctl) doesn't
help.

I'm running v2.13.0.207.gdae741-DEVELOPMENT x86_64

Unfortunately commit bc3396b8d6a56c64d72b08d59dcd520b018dd139 didn't help

Change NOWAIT -> WAITOK, and then give it a try.

Solved by commit 79d182b0d3dee841326d364c0e92e46c405765e6

This issue was triggered by X server, i.e. an application starting far after kernel memory setup at boot time: it's likely vm.dma_reserved=..m is needed in /boot/loader.conf too.

With vm.dma_reserved=64m this issue is solved for me (radeon Xorg driver is requesting 32m in this case).
