Message-ID: <574931b8edea4d60014d5e9b31daa4a1@ttyhoney.com> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 16:41:02 +0100 From: Peter Weber <peter.weber@...honey.com> To: <stable@...r.kernel.org> Cc: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [drm/i915: Do not store the error pointer for a failed userptr registration] Candidate for stable tree? Hello! Is the patch[0] mentioned in the subject a possible candidate for the next release of the stable kernel, at time of writing "3.17.3"? It looks like, this is causing serious problems and we are currently discussing this on the bugtracker of Archlinux[1]. I'm not sure if I'm personally affected. I suffered unexpected freezes since 3.17-rc4 on my machine, at least STDIO and STDOUT are frozen. Maybe the reaction differs based on the kernel options (see changed behaviour through CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y). In my case, I don't see a null pointer in my log files. I hope this doesn't offend against the stable kernel rules.
