Hello


Ok, I think I now know what is behind this BUG/crash of intel graphics  -  
interestingly it took me a few weeks to realize this.

So I've actually installed with some Rawhide update 'zram-generator' package 
to use  zram swap to help with memory of Firefox & Thunderbird a bit with this 
4G RAM laptop. All worked fine. However side effect of usage of ZRAM swapping 
became actually this occasional  kernel BUG hitting.

When I've stopped using  Zram swap  -  it now runs for 2 weeks without a 
single deadlock - with single or dual screen monitor setup with many suspends 
& resumes in between.

So I'm likely 100% sure that   ZRAM usage is triggering this issue.   While I 
know this laptop is old and likely with low memory and so on - no sure if it's 
worth to solve it - maybe good enough solution is to issue a warning user 
should no comibine this old piece with ZRAM - but I'm all open to do some 
testing for fix - although I still don't have a simple triggering path for 
this issue to happen within short period of time.

Maybe driver is missing tomark some pages as pined into memory so ZRAM can't 
swap them out ?.
