From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit ece4a17d237a79f63fbfaf3f724a12b6d500555c upstream. Withtout this, ring initialization fails reliabily during resume with [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 head ffffff8804 tail 00000000 start 000e4000 This is not a complete fix, but it is verified to make the ring initialization failures during resume much less likely. We were not able to root-cause this bug (likely HW-specific to Gen4 chips) yet. This is therefore used as a ducttape before problem is fully understood and proper fix created, so that people don't suffer from completely unusable systems in the meantime.
