<span class="quote">> Workaround for gpu hangs that comes with DMAR ERROR is to add

Hi Lakshmi,
we know about igfx_off since a long time, but it's not a fix, it's a
workaround. We were told the bug was *fixed* in recent kernels (4.18+), but it
doesn't seem to be the case, at least on Broadwell.
<span class="quote">> Closing this bug, as the original issue is resolved with a work around fix.</span >
I have to admit I'm disappointed by this. Not surprised though, I was kind-of
expecting this, it's just took quite a lot of time to finally admit there would
be no software fix.
I was told the same for my i7-640LM, is there a chance DMAR will one day work
fine with iGPU or should be enforce igfx_off by default in the Linux kernel?</pre>
