Title:
  a lot of bad logs in sylog: drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip], flip-ioctl()

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I have noticed HUGE number of strange logs in sysLog:
  Apr 21 09:36:46 oko-Comp kernel: [54874.592117] [drm:drm_mode_addfb], [FB:31]
  Apr 21 09:36:46 oko-Comp kernel: [54874.592130] [drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip], flip-ioctl() cur_fbo = ffff88004e8a1000, cur_bbo = ffff8801396dcc00

  Such logs are written all the time to syslog (about 15 logs per 1
  sec). It is constantly appending new logs which make my hard drive
  quite bussy all the time :(.

  Could you please advice what could be the problem.  ubuntu seems to
  work fine.
