For several months, I've been experiencing GPU hangs when starting
Cinnamon on an HP Pavilion Mini 300-020 if I try to run an upstream
kernel. I reported this recently in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2413 where I have
attached the requested evidence including the state collected from
/sys/class/drm/card0/error and debug output from dmesg.
I ran a bisect to find the problem, which indicates this is the
troublesome commit:
[47f8253d2b8947d79fd3196bf96c1959c0f25f20] drm/i915/gen7: Clear all EU/L3 residual contexts
The nature of that commit suggested to me that reducing the
batch size used in the context clear operation might help this
relatively low-powered system to avoid the hang.... and it did!
I simply forced this system to take the smaller batch length that is
already used for non-Haswell systems.
The first two versions of this patch were posted as RFC
patches to the Intel-gfx list, implementing the same
algorithmic change in function batch_get_defaults,
but without employing a properly constructed quirk.
I've now cleaned up the patch to employ a new QUIRK_RENDERCLEAR_REDUCED.
The quirk is presently set only for the aforementioned HP Pavilion Mini
300-020. The patch now touches three files to define the quirk, set it,
and then check for it in function batch_get_defaults.

Introduce quirk QUIRK_RENDERCLEAR_REDUCED, which will be used
to force a limited batch buffer size for clearing
residual contexts in gen7_renderclear.c.

Added function quirk_renderclear_reduced to set QUIRK_RENDERCLEAR_REDUCED
for designated platforms. Applying QUIRK_RENDERCLEAR_REDUCED for
the HP Pavilion Mini 300-020 prevents a GPU hang.
