Hi Daniel,

A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0]. After a kernel
bisect, it was found the following was the first bad commit:

Merge tag 'v3.7-rc2' into drm-intel-next-queued



The regression was introduced as of v3.8-rc1. However, further
testing also shows this bug is now fixed in v3.9-rc4.

I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted see if I
can get your feedback. Do you happen to have an idea what may
have fixed this in v3.9-rc4, so we can send a request to stable,
if not already done? Otherwise, I can perform a reverse bisect to
see which commit fixed this.


So apparently it's an oops somewhere in the nouveau setup code, which bisected to a backmerge which has _only_ conflicts in drm/i915 driver code.

I have no idea what blew up here, sorry.

Thanks for the info, Daniel. I'll go the reverse bisect route.





Thanks,

Joe
