The driver works just fine w/o PAT on older GPUs at least. Otherwise it wouldn't work at all on any P3 class CPU as the kernel completely disables PAT support on those even if the kernel is built with X86_PAT=y. You can also disable PAT on the command line with "nopat". > > Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/15410 > Signed-off-by: Joonas Lahtinen <[email protected]> > Reported-by: Norbert Lange <[email protected]> > Cc: Jani Nikula <[email protected]> > Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <[email protected]> > Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <[email protected]> > --- > drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Kconfig | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Kconfig b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Kconfig > index 5e939004b6463..a19a233239056 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Kconfig > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Kconfig > @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ > config DRM_I915 > tristate "Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics" > depends on DRM > - depends on X86 && PCI > + depends on X86 && X86_PAT && PCI > depends on !PREEMPT_RT > select INTEL_GTT if X86 > select INTERVAL_TREE > -- > 2.52.0 -- Ville Syrjälä Intel
