Hi, I have tried yet another RT kernel on my Acer laptop. This time it is 4.4.75 patched with the -rt88 patch. The system hung again when I started a few applications I would normally use with RT. This time I have not tried to reboot it immediately and the system came back to life after a couple of minutes. >From the kernel logs: Some time before the hung: Jul 30 19:01:54 lolek kernel: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 80 The system locked up around 19:10 Next thing I got in the logs was: Jul 30 19:12:09 lolek kernel: INFO: task jbd2/dm-4-8:1407 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Then problems from i915 drm driver were reported: Jul 30 19:12:22 lolek kernel: [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=40468 end=40469) time 173 us, min 1073, max 1079, scanline start 1068, end 1081 [...] Jul 30 19:18:46 lolek kernel: [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=63501 end=63502) time 249 us, min 1073, max 1079, scanline start 1065, end 1081 Jul 30 19:19:58 lolek kernel: [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=67818 end=67819) time 100 us, min 1073, max 1079, scanline start 1072, end 1080 Jul 30 19:21:33 lolek kernel: [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=73522 end=73523) time 127 us, min 1073, max 1079, scanline start 1071, end 1080 System seems to be working correctly after the lockup. Any ideas what is going on?
