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 Author: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 16:56:40 2016 -0800 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.

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 ?

Can you append you kernel config file to the bugzilla. There's something particular about 32-bit builds I'm missing...

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.

Dan, I have tested both my AMD/ATI systems and my Intel laptop with the patch applied and all three work correctly. Thanks :)
