So I've rechecked with intel_iommu=igfx_off and already thought I've made a decent fool of myself because I couldn't readily hang it. Turns out it's just much harder to hang with that. So I think moving around the tlb flushing for other dmar nodes to align with the idled igfx isn't a great solution, simply because I can't reliably tell whether it fixes anything. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Mail: daniel@xxxxxxxx Mobile: +41 (0)79 365 57 48 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
