Thank you Imre. I stand corrected.
Just tried it - "4.4.9-300.fc23.x86_64" with "i915.enable_rc6=0". No i915 stack
traces (or any other) with kodi and firefox running for several minutes now.
The only thing I see in dmesg regarding rc6 is this line close to boot:
[ +0.088745] Setting dangerous option enable_rc6 - tainting kernel
For those having the issue, and if you want to use the latest kernel:
1. As root, edit /etc/default/grub
2. Find the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
* Append i915.enable_rc6=0
* Example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet i915.enable_rc6=0"
3a. If you have a BIOS system, follow this guide[1]
3b. If you have a UEFI syste, follow this guide[2]
4. Reboot
5. Check "uname -a" and dmesg to check whether you have set this option
correctly
7. Test
NOTE: The rc6 option for the i915 appears to control power saving settings[3],
so expect higher power consumption.
I hope this helps.
