[resend to correct dri-devel address]
Hi all-
Just a friendly regression reminder: a recent patch intended to fix the long-standing hotplug storm bugs in i915 instead made it a good deal worse -- I now get hotplug interrupts constantly as long as anything (plymouth or Xorg, for example) is querying CRT status.
Analysis and potential at:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/105727/
Briefly, the offending commit (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=...) cleaned up the programming of CRT detection parameters in such a way that they get reprogrammed every time CRT status is read, which causes the GPU to helpfully report a hotplug interrupt shortly afterwards.
It would be nice to get a fix queued up in time for -rc4.
Thanks, Andy
