Re: [PATCH] drm/i915: protect force_wake_(get|put) with the gt_lock

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your Advice. Since it might take some time for the issue to appear I'll try to use a profiler to speed up the bughunt. I don't have any experience in profiling the kernel so this might take some time.... :(

I'll keep you posted.

Yours
Nic
