[Bug 1488719] Re: dmesg shows "[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!"

 

Maybe I don't get it, but: Is the fix only shutting up the kernel
messages or is this fixing the cause?

I'm expiriencing this messages on a Lenovo T450 (20BX011GE) running
15.10 with 4.2.0-16-generic kernel. I see this messages wether external
monitor is connected or not, although with much higher frequency with
external monitor connected (dp via dock).

It seems like this messages is related to random GDM crashes. I tried to
reproduce this behaviour, but I've got no clue when this is happening so
far. I will try to investigate this further.
