As an ad-hoc experiment: can you replace the call to remap_pfn_range

That worked, thanks -- no artifacts seen.
Looks like it is caused by the validation failure then. Which means the
existing code is doing something wrong in its choice of the page
protection bit. I really need help from the i915 maintainers here..
Hmm,
Apart from the caching aliasing Mattew brought up, doesn't the
remap_pfn_range_xxx() family require the mmap_sem held in write mode
since it modifies the vma structure? remap_io_sg() is called from the
fault handler with the mmap_sem held in read mode only.
