Details

On an Intel G45 based system, I am getting a "WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:9916 intel_check_page_flip+0xc2/0xd0 [i915]()" upon updating to 3.18.2-2. After seeing this in dmesg, everything running (vnc-sessions and live X sessions) are very sluggish. A reboot fixes it but the error is soon thrown again. I didn't experience this using 3.18.1-1 from [testing].

Complete dmesg output is attached as well as one with the drm.debug=14 kernel parameter. Note that the kernel version is 3.18.2-2 which does incorporate D. Vetter's patch (out-of-tree I think)[1] found from this[2] bug report.

Googling on the error found this bug report[3] against Fedora, so I am not the only one experiencing it.

Finally, I did report this upstream[4] but wanted to log it here as well if these sorts of reports are used to assess the readiness of newer major kernel bumps to move out of [testing].

Can someone reassign this against [testing]/linux? My bad.
