In fact, they seem to happen before gnome even starts up, ie I see those messages long before the first messages from gnome-session: May 17 12:07:17 tr3970x kernel: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 1067 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_buddy.c:198 __force_merge+0x184/0x1b0 [drm_buddy] .. lots and lots and lots of them .. ...

IOW, it happens already during the graphical boot before I have even typed in my disk encryption password. Then it starts again when gnome starts. I just checked: I have exactly 8192 warnings from the early boot before the first gnome warning. Which sounds like too round a number to be an accident. I will try the patch Alex pointed at next: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/594539/ and see if that fixes it for me. Linus
