    drm/i915: Only unpin the default ctx object if it exists

    Since commit 691e6415c891b8b2b082a120b896b443531c4d45

        drm/i915: Always use kref tracking for all contexts.

    we have contexts everywhere, and so we must be careful to distinguish
    fake contexts, which do not have an associated bo, and real ones, which
    do. In particular, we now need to be careful not to dereference NULL
    pointers.

    This is one such example, as the commit highlighted above failed to move
    the unpinning of the default ctx object into the real-context-only
    branch.

    drm/i915: Increase WM memory latency values on SNB

    On SNB the BIOS provided WM memory latency values seem insufficient to
    handle high resolution displays.

    In this particular case the display mode was a 2560x1440@60Hz, which
    makes the pixel clock 241.5 MHz. It was empirically found that a memory
    latency value if 1.2 usec is enough to avoid underruns, whereas the BIOS
    provided value of 0.7 usec was clearly too low. Incidentally 1.2 usec
    is what the typical BIOS provided values are on IVB systems.

    Increase the WM memory latency values to at least 1.2 usec on SNB.
    Hopefully this won't have a significant effect on power consumption.

    v2: Increase the latency values regardless of the pixel clock

Reverse bisect to find the fix.
Comment 2 Daniel Vetter 2014-05-20 09:32:22 UTC
I generally only consider backporting patches to -fixes that fix actual issues in the wild, not discomfort when doing validation.
