Why userspace drivers can breaking render and calling error in kernel
part of driver? May be can add "filter" sent commands and ignore (or
other reaction, but not execute their) their?

Title:
  [snb] GPU lockup  IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001, workaround
  i915.semaphores=0

  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this
  crash log gets generated. It's significantly more than several times a
  day but not quite continuous.

  Temporarily disabiling semaphores seems to eliminate the problem.
  E.g.:

  $ sudo -s
  # echo 0 > /sys/modules/i915/parameters/semaphores

  [Workaround]
  1.  Edit your /etc/default/grub file.
  2.  Change this line:

      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  to

      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0"

  3.  Then run

      sudo update-grub

  4.  And reboot

  If you indeed have this bug, that should stop the lockups from happening.
  If it doesn't, then file a new bug report.

  Side Effects:  Rendering throughput is dropped by 10% with SNA, or as
  much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to be reduced by
  about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU with rc6
  disabled, so increased power consumption.
