[Bug 1435210] Re: Ubuntu 15.04: Bad MTRR memory management
Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.0 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.

Title:
Ubuntu 15.04: Bad MTRR memory management
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hello,
in order to contribute to quality improvement of the new Ubuntu 15.04, I'm reporting a problem I found in this "beta" version - related to MTRR memory management (mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size stuff).
If compared with Manjaro XFCE 0.9.0-pre4 edition (systemd, X.org
server 1.17.1, kernel 1.19.1), it is quite obvious that there's
definitely something wrong with the way how Ubuntu handles 16GB of RAM
(inside BIOS, Intel graphics card is set to 256MB).
Asus optimus notebook N750JVT-4069H (Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ; RAM 16GB;
Nvidia GeForce GT750M)
