Yes. > What about GregKH? Is he aware of this? Yes, Greg is aware of this (I Cc-ed him on my initial bug report to the i915 folks and he has replied in the upstream thread about this) > He's not Linus, but he hates regressions nearly as much afaics, so why not > maybe he is willing to revert those patches quickly and thus maybe force the > drm/i915 folks into action? The i915 folks have acted on this, hence the patch with 3 cherry-picked fixes from -next. This patch seems to work well for most reporters, there is a single reporter who is still seeing issues with the 3 cherry-picked fixes. I plan to ping Greg about merging the 3 fixes from -next, assuming that they have landed in Linus' tree by now (I have not pinged Greg yet, because first I need to check that the 3 fixes have indeed landed).
