<pre>The problem is that we only capture the first error state (since it usually is
the more interesting cause, and they can hog a lot of kernel memory) and we
only free the error state when root does "echo > /sys/class/drm/card0/error".
Since the two error here occur within a few seconds, capturing the second error
does not seem practical. So what I want you to do is see if you get a GPU hang
reported that doesn't take the system down with it, and attach that error state
to see if it indicates a reason for the other hang.
It may just be the system is not recovering from the GPU hang correctly - e.g.
mesa did not invalidate its context and so subsequent batches referenced
invalid state.</pre>
