Indeed, that scuppers my theory about it being an allocation failure to
GEM space exhaustion. I am not sure what else to suggest to explain why
it spontaneously fails to allocate that BO. You could try drm.debug=7,
but searching for the failure would be like hunting for a needle in a
haystack - and I'm not sure if we give any information as to how it
fails, nor does libdrm_intel have any such debug. You can try disabling
the uxa BO cache with Option "BufferCache" "false" and seeing if that
makes any difference.
