This has to be the worst rc1 in the history of me testing out rc1's. Wayland KDE session hangs (including mouse cursor), sometimes for seconds, sometimes permanently. Very nondeterministic, great bisection, much wow.
yep, no surprised given the nature of the problem

# first bad commit: [cf65598d5909acf5e7b7dc9e21786e386356bc81] Merge tag 'drm-next-2024-01-10' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm
Big thanks to @knurd42 for saving me from further bisection, applied a revert he pointed me to instead and it's looking good now!

Re: [git pull] drm for 6.8 - Vlastimil Babka

@vbabka @knurd42 fwiw, I've also bumped into https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218417 this looks unrelated but symptoms are similar
218417 – kernel 6.7.1 freezes the system by moving the mouse in graphical desktop (found problem)

@vbabka : Great!

Apparently, even @airlied has joined the #MKSA challenge.
Make kernel small again!

@kernellogger @vbabka @oleksandr How should I pronounce #MKSA? Like “make say”? As in Do Make Say Think? Anyone here knew them back in the early 2000s? Oh no, you're all metal guys, but…

@ptesarik @kernellogger @vbabka @oleksandr oh, those piano strings in the picture?
initially thought it's some very shoddy wire-wrapping job :(
@kernellogger @vbabka @ptesarik Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce "MKSA" as "MKSA".
@oleksandr @kernellogger @ptesarik why stop at "small"? Enter Andy Tanenbaum and his Make Kernel Micro Again! challenge.
@vbabka @oleksandr @kernellogger @ptesarik I agree it's more in the spirit of MAGA (because there was no time that America was “great” either). But I like mine better nevertheless. Fork off your own movement if you have a different project goal.
@ptesarik @kernellogger @oleksandr Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to Do Make Say Think?
