This gives us 4.4.x with "plain" BFS, with excellent interactive results and no problems with stock suspend/resume (YMMV depending on weird extensions). I've sent this to Con and he mentioned I should post here in the meantime until gets around to do an official release.<br /><br />You can find the all-in-one patch here:<br />https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hhoffstaette/kernel-patches/master/4.4/bfs-467.patch<br /><br />Simply patch that into a plain 4.4.x and you're good to go.<br /><br />Please see the additional changelog in the header for the (very few) changes I had to make to merge everything. All credits for the original 4.4 patch go to Alfred Chen.<br /><br />While this was made against 4.4.3, it also applies cleanly and works fine with 4.4.4-rc1 as of last night.<br /><br />Enjoy. :)<br />Holger Hoffstättehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303916065597906848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469704299235308349.post-74961491817658165342016-02-12T02:38:40.377+11:002016-02-12T02:38:40.377+11:00from your words:

I get this too, and I blame the relevant driver for it, not BFS. In my case it's the i915 for my intel GM45 integrated gfx compiled as module. I don't remember exactly whether this goes away if you compiled it into the kernel. But what I remember is, that in this case you would get different error messages if you resumed from suspend to disk (gfx reset). And when using TuxOnIce for that, reliability can decrease. (Some unpredictable timing issue.) Have you filed a bugreport on bugs.freedesktop.org already, or attached to one existing? <br />I can only hope 4.4 would correct these things. At least it shows only once per boot and doesn't harm normal operation.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Manuel KrauseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469704299235308349.post-67318769096469261532015-12-22T02:17:01.757+11:002015-12-22T02:17:01.757+11:00Fwiw, 4.3.3-ck bfs467 UP is running a-ok on my old...Fwiw, 4.3.3-ck bfs467 UP is running a-ok on my old netbook; still getting the (upstream I presume) warnings at boot:<br />WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 65 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c:491 drm_atomic_check_only+0xed/0x3ef()jwh7https://www.blogger.com/profile/09659185315567537391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469704299235308349.post-28679082172126790872015-12-21T20:45:30.438+11:002015-12-21T20:45:30.438+11:00Thanks for feedback.
