Re: drm i915 hangs on heavy io load

Hi Chris,

I haven't answered due to several reboots necessary (sometimes 
I have to work on Win***) and no effect, but ..

I pulled the whole branch into my compile branch, and removed everything
from kernel cmd line regarding rc6, and got the
	[drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
	[drm] capturing error event; look for more information in /debug/dri/0/i915_error_state
	[drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
	[drm:i915_reset] *ERROR* GPU hanging too fast, declaring wedged!
	[drm:i915_reset] *ERROR* Failed to reset chip.
new i915_error_state.gz at the same place.

So it seems that the patches in the ilk-wa-pile branch do not help.

All the best

Norbert
