[Bug 1466950] [NEW] drm complains bitterly when discrete graphics turned off

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using radeon.dpm=0 and radeon.runpm=0 for reasons explained in a
previous bug report.

I'm able to turn the radeon discrete graphics off using

echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

and my power consumption drops dramatically to a nice low level,
but then the kernel log starts filling up with all sorts of complaints from drm:

Jun 19 10:19:43 HP-ubuntu kernel: [  360.548772] radeon: switched off

etc., at a great rate!

The whole point of the exercise is to keep the discrete graphics off, so
why is drm:radeon_cs_ioctl still trying to issue commands to it?

Also, Ubuntu doesn't want to shut down cleanly after the radeon discrete
graphics unit is turned off.
