Description
[This issue was first discussed in QTBUG-73691 and later found to be a separate problem.]
On Arch Linux x86_64, using X11 (server version 1.20.3), when using nouveau or modesetting as the X driver and the nouveau kernel DRM driver (I have a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 285 GPU), with mesa 18.3.3 and libxcb 1.13.1 the following error occurs:
After using the desktop for a while (in particular, after causing some graphics load) visual artifacts appear and plasma-desktop often hangs up. Sometimes the hanging process can be restarted, other times X is completely frozen (but can still be ssh'ed into).
The dmesg log shows these lines, although only the fifo DMA_PUSHER lines seem to consistently appear every time the problem is triggered:

This problem appeared with Qt 5.12.1 and goes away when downgrading to Qt 5.12.0.
I bisected the bug and found this commit to be faulty:

White-list more recent Mesa version for multi-threading
The issue we had has been fixed for years, but was unfortunately in
libxcb which we can't check at runtime. Instead assume very recent
Mesa drivers works.

This also makes a lot of sense, since
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91632
concludes that nouveau DRM doesn't support multithreaded rendering. The author of the offending commit argues that multithreaded rendering should be supported depending on the version of libxcb, but that doesn't appear to be true, at least not for my GPU.
