Nothing too major,
Two regression fixers (one revert that got fixes properly elsewhere), some timestamp fixes and an agp module reload fix.
Pulled. However, what about the report from Pavel Machek pavel@ucw.cz:
drm/i915: Completely disable fence pipelining.Reverting this commit helps in v2.6.38-rc5+ when screen is not fully updated, or has a corrupted picture like horizontal black or white stripes. Using a compositor like compiz may help to avoid the problem.
Any update on that one?
No, reverting that will cause just another bug elsewhere. I need to work out how the gpu is not being flushed with a non-pipelined fence change.
There's that whole "return -EINVAL for I915_PARAM_HAS_RELAXED_FENCING" patch thing?
As it turns out this is a bug in the userspace components of the stack for gen2 hardware, with lax kernel side enforcement. Daniel has a fix for both. -Chris
