There are two bugs at play here. The first is a broken userspace driver
causing a GPU hang. The second is that kernel hasn't noticed the hang,
tries to advance the CS ringbuffer, times out, ignores the error and
writes to beyond the end of the mapped region. There's a fix for the
latter in drm-intel-next, and it's likely that the GL bug has been
fixed in the few years since you last updated. At very least, I have a
better chance at diagnosing what went wrong with a GEM based driver.
