Drat, that is: commit 7bb6fb8dd958ae773ac205282e3c0b56c22e01ed Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vet...@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Apr 24 08:22:52 2012 +0200 drm/i915: disallow gem ums init ioctl for kms This ioctl used in a kms driver is only useful to create massive havoc. Can't see just why -intel crashes, but I presume it is during the i830_free_memory along that path. Anyway, looks like that patch needs to be reverted. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
