    drm/i915: Generate a hang error code · 011cf577
    Ben Widawsky authored
    We get a large number of bugs which have a, "hey I have that too"
    because they see a GPU hang in dmesg. While two machines of the same
    model having a GPU hang is indeed a coincidence, it is far from enough
    evidence to suggest they are the same.
    
    In order to reduce this effect, and hopefully get people to file new bug
    reports, clearly the error message itself has been insufficient (see ref
    at the bottom for a new bug report with this characteristic).
    
    The algorithm is purposely pretty naive. I don't think we need much in
    order to avoid the problem I am trying to solve, and keeping it naive
    gives us some ability to make a decent test case.
