Fix intel reset crash.

Description of problem:
Newer kernels (3.14+) apparently trigger a bug in Mesa that causes crashes when using older Intel GPUs (Ironlake in my case).

There is an open bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75723 with a patch that fixes the problem.

The attached change adds the patch to Fedora's mesa package. It is also available in the intel-reset branch at https://git.ikkoku.de/git/suraia/fedora/mesa

Please also merge to Fedora 20 because kernel 3.14 is on its way there, too.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
10.1.1-2.20140419.fc20

How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Chrome
2. Access chrome://gpu
3. Check whether GPU acceleration is available


Actual results:
GPU acceleration does not work because the GPU process crashes.


Expected results:
GPU acceleration works.

Looks like this same bug is hitting a lot of kde/kwin users (with desktop effects enabled), including me.  Side effect also screen brightness controls no longer work either, but I'll double-check that once crashes are gone.

I'll try testing the upstream fix asap.
Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2014-05-05 03:41:30 UTC 
I think this is the reference to the upstream commit fixing this,
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?h=10.1&id=2a51539bbc0a112d6d37c402465b07002bd59722
Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2014-05-05 04:00:48 UTC 
Scratch build with that patch on top of mesa/master branch,
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6813089

fixes crash for me.


(though still have brightness problems, will continue to blame kernel for that)
Comment 4 Brallan Jesús Aguilar Rivera 2014-05-05 19:38:30 UTC 
I am a KDE user affected too. This bug disables some capabilities in my system.
Comment 5 Michael Kuhn 2014-05-05 20:15:09 UTC 
Looks like Mesa 10.1.2 is out, which includes the fix.
Comment 6 Michael Kuhn 2014-05-06 13:18:44 UTC

Update to 10.1.2.

I have updated the package to version 10.1.2; feel free to pull from the mesa-10.1.2 branch at https://git.ikkoku.de/git/suraia/fedora/mesa or use the attached patch.

Disclaimer: I have also modified the spec file to use the upstream tarball instead of a Git snapshot.
