Hi Thomas,
Hi Bernie!

We were seeing similar issues in udlfb (the original fbdev version of
this driver), which were fixed earlier this year by getting all
rendering operations out of probe/disconnect -- those which might
trigger fb_defio page faults in an inappropriate context, or be
long-running. Here's some more detail:

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to get going with udl myself, so
haven't been able to port and confirm.  Thanks for raising and staying
on this.
Okay, I see. I'll switch to FB_UDL for now and remove DRM_UDL from my
config.

Is somebody working on porting commit

In Airlie's tree seems to be no commit related to this:
