Agreed. I'll look into bringing back the process detection for 4.17 stable.
I'm still curious why the GC600 on the Dove is that slow. With performance like this moving a big(ish) window on the screen must be a horrible user experience.
This doesn't seem to be the cause - it seems that there's something going on with 4.17 that really is causing the Dove GC600 to get stuck. Reverting all the drivers/gpu/drm/etnaviv changes back to the 4.16 state while keeping everything else the same results in no hangs, whereas increasing the timeout with 4.17 still results in hangs.
I'll try to find some time to bisect.
Sorry, it seems that my attempts to change what was running on the system were ineffective (due to the etnaviv module loaded from the initramfs, not from the fs copy I was updating.) Extending the timeout to 5 seconds does indeed stop the issue.
Thanks for confirming that the issue is caused by the removed progress check.
More importantly, it stops some memory corruption I've observed as well, caused by etnaviv freeing buffers when it thinks the GPU has timed out while the GPU is still writing to them.
Urgh, that is really bad. I'll get a fix out of the door tomorrow.
