/sys/class/drm/card0/error

I don't exactly know what happened but I found this in my logs:

Apr 28 09:29:45 simon-laptop kernel: [140726.749554] [drm] stuck on render ring
Apr 28 09:29:45 simon-laptop kernel: [140726.749859] [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 9:0:0x87d6fffe, in Xorg [25978], reason: Engine(s) hung, action: reset
Apr 28 09:29:45 simon-laptop kernel: [140726.749861] [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace.

Apr 28 09:29:45 simon-laptop kernel: [140726.749863] [drm] drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue.

Apr 28 09:29:47 simon-laptop kernel: [140728.749834] [drm] RC6 on

I searched my logs for previous GPU hangs and found another case on April 1st with the same "signature":

Apr  1 21:07:25 simon-laptop kernel: [ 3281.489363] [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 9:0:0x87d6fffe, in Xorg [4906], reason: Engine(s) hung, action: reset

So not a frequent issue but I thought I should still report it.
