Subject: [.30-rc2 regression] garbled screen on video

Hi everyone,

Summary:
After playing a video for a little bit, the screen gets garbled. The 
only way to fix it is to
switch to a virtual console and then back. The screen is fixed but 
unfortunately only for
less than a few minuets and the screen gets corrupted again.

Effected Version: 2.6.30-rc2+
Picture showing a corrupt screen:

My System:
Ubuntu 9.4 with 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller 
[8086:27a2]
UXA/GEM/DRI2 enable. Full info at 
http://jdserver.homelinux.org/bugreports/004/

Syslog Messages:
None, but switching virtual consoles gives
[drm:i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for 
disabled pipe 0
But I think that is another bug introduced with .30-rc1.

Bisecting gave me the following (verified) commit

280b713b5b0fd84cf2469098aee88acbb5de859c is first bad commit

    drm/i915: Allow tiling of objects with bit 17 swizzling by the CPU.

    Save the bit 17 state of the pages when freeing the page list, and
    reswizzle them if necessary when rebinding the pages (in case they were
    swapped out).  Since we have userland with expectations that the swizzle
    enums let it pread and pwrite contents accurately, we can't expose a new
    swizzle enum for bit 17 (which it would have to GTT map to handle), 
so we
    handle it down in pread and pwrite by swizzling the copy when bit 17 
of the
    page address is set.
