Hi David, thanks for the bug report. Do you see the command buffer error with
the new top of the tree vmwgfx only ? I tried to reproduce this bug with clean
Ubuntu 18.04 and Atom installed from software center. I see that Atom text
editor will be unresponsive but couldn't see the kernel command buffer errors.
Will try with Fedora 28 later.</pre>
