This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled x86/Sandy Bridge: reserve pages when integrated graphics is to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 1e2003b10d208874e6c567724249655d375b2abc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:43:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86/Sandy Bridge: reserve pages when integrated graphics is present commit a9acc5365dbda29f7be2884efb63771dc24bd815 upstream. SNB graphics devices have a bug that prevent them from accessing certain memory ranges, namely anything below 1M and in the pages listed in the table. So reserve those at boot if set detect a SNB gfx device on the CPU to avoid GPU hangs. Stephane Marchesin had a similar patch to the page allocator awhile back, but rather than reserving pages up front, it leaked them at allocation time.
