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

 

Yes this patch is in the mainline kernel v4.5-rc1-wily. But I think
regarding our problem here it does only what it says: shut up the
messages. I just tested it, got a

[drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO
underrun

at boot time now (related:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95461), while the

[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied
(SDE)!

are gone. With external monitor connected things getting worse, gdm
isn't able to use the monitor correctly and crashes from time to time.
Looks like there are now other i915 bugs (maybe regression?) more
urgent. Personally I will stick to 4.4 until I've got time to
investigate this further with a clean install of ubuntu to eliminate the
possibility that I'm looking at completely unrelated issues here.
