One other note: When I observed excessive power consumption the "residency since boot" counters were static in "sysctl hw.dri.0.info.i915_drpc_info" output. "RC6 residency since boot" was high and unchanging, while the other= two were zero. This is similar to a report in a comment in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D54089 The Linux commit that introduced this regression is b4ae3f22d238617ca11610b29fde16cf8c0bc6e0, which was in response to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D50237 . Disabling the MBCTL= write from that commit, on Sandy Bridge, restores the power consumption to normal. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
