Random Desktop Environment Crashes With Intel / Display Link
I'm not sure if this issue is covered by others, so apologise if it is. I'm also not familiar enough with the source code to be specific or to triage the existing tickets. So I'm hoping that this contributes and that someone who knows what they're talking about can advise.
I've noticed a noticable stability and performance degradation from 5.2.3 to later kernels, including the 5.6.x series. This seems to be most visible with DisplayLink / evdi hardware?
There's a detailed discussion with crash logs on this evdi ticket: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/197
I've been using 5.2.3 on with this hardware for a few weeks with no problems. Newer kernels seem to crash with the modesetting driver (and ilwifi, but apparently that's fixed in 5.6.2?).
The best people from the github thread in terms of technical understanding go by the github handle @abucodonosor and @monofox.
If this is already an understood issue, please close this ticket.
Thankyou all for your effort in building out the intel stuff. Really appreciated.
