This is the same problem as the following:

It's already fixed in 2.6.33-rc2, see http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/28/228
for details. I'll also close the bugzilla entry.

When the patch is applied to 2.6.33-rc2, the regression goes away. The patch
fixes the problem.
Cheers,
Oldrich.
I think this precise one is solved. The problem is that there are other
vmalloc in the same path that also need to be fixed.
I have a pending patch for that but as there are other reiserfs lockdep
reports to be solved, I'm trying to pack all fixes in a same
set so that they can be tested using a simple merge.
For now, I guess this ticket shouldn't be closed until reporters
can test the whole.
Thanks!
Bisected to commit d21cd8, and reverting this commit seems to fix the
problem. The problem appeared between -rc1 and -rc2. It was a fix
that was pushed as part of a quota/ext4 fixes. For more information:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=126197233225936&w=2
I will take a look at this to see if I can find an easy fix;
otherwise, we'll probably want to revert commit d21cd8 before -rc3.

Patch already in acpi-test, waiting push to mainline.

The proposed patch works for me but the bug is still present in 2.6.33-rc2

I don't think this should be labelled as a regression. It was already
known that we'd have less throughput for the many clients cases, it was
a trade off that was made to improve latencies.

Jens Axboe
This one can be closed as it's not an 2.6.33 issue (I'm running
2.6.33-rc1 with KMS just fine)
See also http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/69076/ for stable patch to
fix it in 2.6.32.3.
Works fine for me on an x200s. The only issue I seem to have is that
sometimes it suspends immediately upon resume again, presumably the lid
close event is re-triggered (or something to that extent). Apart from
that, 2.6.32 and current -git works fine for me.

There is an issue in 2.6.31 where it will panic (at least that's what I
think it does, please see more details in
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473876>) when you have it plugged in,
suspend, un-plug the power cable, and then resume it.
According to <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/467877>
it has something to do with "event_when_closed_battery", I haven't tested
it yet though, neither with 2.6.31 nor 2.6.32. Could be beneficial for
more people to test though.

I'm working on a fix, and have a proposed patch. See the thread on
linux-ext4 here:

This patch also fixes the dq_claim_space kerneloops problem as
well....
Thanks for the info.
Perhaps the bug that Andrew saw has been fixed since then.
I'm changing the stauts of the bug to "resolved". Andrew, please reopen if
you're still seeing the problem with the current Linus' tree.
Rafael
I do that all the time, not a problem here. Tried it just now and it
worked, but did the "I'll suspend immediately again". Pressing fn makes
it wake up, though.

Thanks, I've added your patch to the Bugzilla entry.

OK, I've closed it as "documented".

This patch has been merged to mainline. I'm working on improving
things so that we don't lose performance by unnecessarily forcing
delalloc blocks out to disk when the (wildly overestimated) number of
required metadata blocks approaches the user's remaining quota or
remaining free space on disk, but the fundamental fix is in mainline.
(The performance hit was something I knew about when I pushed the
patch to Linus, but after discussing things with Eric Sandeen, we
figured that for users who were converting from ext3, which didn't
have delayed allocation support at all, even with the performance hit
when the user approached the quota limit, ext4 with delalloc+quota was
still better than ext3 --- and I wanted a fix in mainline ASAP.
Fortunately, it's not going to be that hard make the required metadata
much more accurate.)

I've tested v2.6.33-rc2-249-gcd6e125 and it fixes problem.

Thanks for this update, I guess we I can make like a separate category
of documented regressions because this could be helpful to other
distributions as they update to the newer kernels :D

but I can't test because the machine in question died right after I
built it a new kernel. sigh.
I'll re-post once I get the laptop working again if there's still a problem.

How to reproduce: start X, observe flickering
Filed it here with X log/dmesg/xrandr/intel_reg_dump output:

We've already had several reports like this already.
Care to review the bugs linked to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14885
and check if none of them matches the problem you describe?
Rafael
Thanks, closing.

I suspect that should be fixed by commit 33814341f22 ("drm/i915: disable
LVDS downclock by default") that got merged today.
So try current -git.
Linus
Well, not obviously. I will try latest git as Linus suggested.

Tested with 6ccf80eb15ccaca4d3f1ab5162b9ded5eecd9971, still get
the flickering effect. so 33814341f22 does not seem to help.

Yeah, me too which is why I am doing a git bisect here. What's strange
about it is that the first bisection point seems to suggest that the
regression happened _before_ the DRM merge to 2.6.33-rc1. I guess it's
possible that the bug is already in 2.6.32 but I've yet to see the
flickering effect. Oh well, back to bisect...

on which side of the merge? linus or drm?
i.e. it is to be expected to be before the merge, (but on the drm side)
so don't get confused... or did i misunderstood the situation?
(Please don't trim the cc list.)

Like I said, don't read too much into the results but the current
situation looks like the regression happened _after_ 2.6.32 but before
any of the DRM code was merged to 2.6.33-rc1. I don't think that makes
much sense which is why I'm back to testing 2.6.32 more to see if the
bug is there already but just harder to trigger for whatever reason.
Pekka
OK, confirmed. I can see the "flashing" bug with 2.6.32 as well. It
just takes more time to trigger than in 2.6.33-rc1. I am going back to
test 2.6.31 now.
Well, I've been using 2.6.32 day to day since it came out and never saw
this bug there. What do you do to trigger this bug?

MST
It usually triggers when I'm building a kernel. I don't have a good test
case for this, I just need to use the machine long enough to see a
flash. And it's pretty hard to trigger in 2.6.32.
I am now bisecting in the middle of the i915 merge in 2.6.31 so if
people know there are suspicious commits that I should try to revert,
please let me know.
