Here's how to read this and similar backtraces:

This is the entry to the SIGIO handler where we try to process input
events.  But since we're in a signal handler, we can't call malloc.
That's why we can run out of space in the Event Queue.

exa is the hardware acceleration layer.  The radeon driver is handing
something down to the kernel to execute through a DRM ioctl, and it's
not completing promptly.

So either the radeon X driver is suddenly doing something newly wrong
that's taking too long, or the radeon kernel driver is.
