Right, looks like there's been a regression breaking this. I suspect the
problem is that vblank->last isn't getting updated from
drm_vblank_post_modeset. Not sure which change broke that though, or how
to fix it. Ville?


BTW, I'm seeing a similar issue with drm_vblank_on/off as well, which
exposed the bug fixed by 209e4dbc ("drm/vblank: Use u32 consistently for
vblank counters"). I've been meaning to track that down since then; one
of these days hopefully, but if anybody has any ideas offhand...
