Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.
I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org that afaics nobody acted upon since it was reported about a week ago, that's why I decided to forward it to the lists and a few relevant people to the CC. To quote from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215678 :
With latest kernel, i notice this:
dmesg | grep vmwgfx [ 2.959200] vmwgfx 0000:00:0f.0: vgaarb: deactivate vga console [ 2.959764] vmwgfx 0000:00:0f.0: BAR 1: can't reserve [mem 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff pref] [ 2.959766] vmwgfx: probe of 0000:00:0f.0 failed with error -16

Could somebody take a look into this? Or was this discussed somewhere else already? Or even fixed?
Anyway, to get this tracked:

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them and lack knowledge about most of the areas they concern. I thus unfortunately will sometimes get things wrong or miss something important. I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
