Applied this patch to kernel 4.9.6 and since then haven't had any issues. Although I had no reliable way how reproduce the crash to 100% confirm patch's effectiveness, at least the patch seems to not cause any bad side effects. Tested on ~AMD64 Gentoo with G98M [Quadro NVS 160M]</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
