Bug ID: 112211
Summary: ATI Radeon Graphics not rendering correctly
Product: Memory Management
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: Linux 4.5-rc3
Hardware: IA-32
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1

Regression: No
On testing linux 4.5-rc( 1,2 and 3) I have found that my display is not rendered correctly on starting the X server. My screen is mainly black with portions of the desktop appearing from time to time. I initially raised this with the DRM/Radeon team:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93998
On investigation a bisect identified the following commit as the source of my problem:
01c8f1c44b83a0825b573e7c723b033cece37b86 is the first bad commit commit 01c8f1c44b83a0825b573e7c723b033cece37b86

mm, dax, gpu: convert vm_insert_mixed to pfn_t
Convert the raw unsigned long 'pfn' argument to pfn_t for the purpose of evaluating the PFN_MAP and PFN_DEV flags. When both are set it triggers _PAGE_DEVMAP to be set in the resulting pte.
There are no functional changes to the gpu drivers as a result of this conversion.

The problem is present on two AMD/ATI systems I have tried but is absent from my Intel based laptop. All my systems are 32 bit LFS builds.
I did try to contact Dan Williams but I am not sure that my e-mail got through, can anyone suggest a way forward please ?

Hi Stuart, from the bugzilla activity it looks like you are already running with this fix. Can you append you kernel config file to the bugzilla. There's something particular about 32-bit builds I'm missing...

Thanks for the config file. I was able to reproduce this in a VM that uses the DRM layer. The fix that works for me is available here in patchwork [1]. Let me know if it works in your environment.
