Since a day or two the screen of my laptop goes blank when the kernel

on again.


Please try the drm-intel-nightly branch of
git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel


Well the drm-intel-testing branch works fine but that was not the
question. lets see if I am able to use gits -b option and clone
drm-intel-nightly.


-testing should be recent enough for the commit Jani mentioned. It's also
already in Linus' git, so hopefully that works again for you.


drm-intel-nightly Works fine to (the compile was already running when  I
read  your mail). Today's Linus tree still has the defect. Time for a
bisect?

Hm, so either it's a different feature patch in -nightly which -fixes
this, or much more likely a regression somewhere in Linus' git tree. I
think a bisect is asked for here indeed.

This is the one:

  cpuidle: Make it clear that governors cannot be modules

  cpufreq governors are defined as modules in the code, but the Kconfig
  options do not allow them to be built as modules.  This is not really
  a problem, but the cpuidle init ordering is: the cpuidle init
  functions (framework and driver) and then the governors.  That leads
  to some weirdness in the cpuidle framework.

  Namely,  cpuidle_register_device() calls cpuidle_enable_device() which
  fails at the first attempt, because governors have not been registered
  yet.  When a governor is registered, the framework calls
  cpuidle_enable_device() again which runs __cpuidle_register_device()
  only then.  Of course, for that to work, the cpuidle_enable_device()
  return value has to be ignored by cpuidle_register_device().

    Instead of having this cyclic call graph and relying on a positive
    side effects of the hackish back and forth cpuidle_enable_device()
    calls it is better to fix the cpuidle init ordering.

    To that end, replace the module init code with postcore_initcall()
    so we have:

     * cpuidle framework : core_initcall
     * cpuidle governors : postcore_initcall
     * cpuidle drivers   : device_initcall

    and remove the corresponding module exit code as it is dead anyway
    (governors can't be built as modules).

Reverting it makes the problem go away.
