This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled amd/display: downgrade validation failure log level to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: amd-display-downgrade-validation-failure-log-level.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6a27d9f64dcec41694e36c6f89974f77b5352d54 Author: Simon Ser <contact@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 7 14:19:34 2021 +0000 amd/display: downgrade validation failure log level [ Upstream commit 7bbee36d71502ab9a341505da89a017c7ae2e6b2 ] In amdgpu_dm_atomic_check, dc_validate_global_state is called. On failure this logs a warning to the kernel journal. However warnings shouldn't be used for atomic test-only commit failures: user-space might be perfoming a lot of atomic test-only commits to find the best hardware configuration. Downgrade the log to a regular DRM atomic message. While at it, use the new device-aware logging infrastructure. This fixes error messages in the kernel when running gamescope [1].
