<pre>sshing in let me continue to work on shell in the ssh session, after the
console hung upon exiting. dmesg reports continued "flip timeout" errors as
kms flails.
"shutdown -r now" at this point, although booting the ssh session promptly as
expected, takes a few minutes to complete, seems to be waiting for the kms
errors to complete. This clean boot did allow me to get a journalctl log of
the whole process (will attach that).
I understand that optimus is a nasty mess. But, frustratingly, things work
just fine with the fedora 4.14.* series, and just fine with your debugging tree
kernel. As a user I suppose I can always go back to the bad old days of hand
installing kernels rather than just loading them from the yum repository. Last
time I did that regularly was going on 20 years ago :)
The fact that the errors happen with either fedora's 4.15.* tree or their 4.16
devel tree is telling us that something in the deltas they apply to their
kernel build is the source of the problem. I suppose at this point, I go back
to the original fedora bugzilla and put the ball back in their court?
bisecting their configs and patches sounds like the next (tedious) step.
Before I go, though: what are these "flip timeout" errors? If I had to guess,
any number of things horribly wrong in there could make the i915 module get
into a funny state that eventually throws this error: but any insight as I move
forward would be appreciated.</pre>
