Subject: [PATCH] Revert "drm/i915: fix infinite recursion on unbind due to ilk vt-d w/a"
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:33:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324078414-10945-1-git-send-email-keithp@keithp.com> (raw)

This reverts commit eb1711bb94991e93669c5a1b5f84f11be2d51ea1.

This patch has been reported by two people to cause memory corruption
and application crashes. It exists solely to fix a problem with the
VT-d workarounds for Ironlake. I would back those out as well as
without this change, that work-around causes an infinite recursion for
anyone foolish enough to actually try VT-d for graphics.

So, without this patch, and when using VT-d for graphics on Ironlake,
people will experience infinite recursion crashes. With this patch, we
get memory corruption on all systems.
