Excessive WARN()s in Intel 915 driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

The check_crtc_state() routine in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
contains a whole bunch of WARN() statements (and so do other routines
in this source file, but this is the one I'm presently concerned
about).  Is it really necessary for these to be WARN?

I don't see how it does any good, every single time I boot my computer,
for the log to get filled with a register dump and stack backtrace:

After all, it's not like there's anything I can do to fix the hardware,
is there?  And it doesn't look like the pipe state mismatch is going to
go away by itself.  Or is this a genuine, fixable, software bug?

In any case, wouldn't it be good enough for this message to be
dev_warn() instead of WARN()?
