Mesa changed its clear color alignment from 4k to 64 bytes without informing the kernel side about the change. This is now likely to cause framebuffer creation to fail. The only thing we do with the clear color buffer in i915 is: 1. map a single page 2. read out bytes 16-23 from said page 3. unmap the page So the only requirement we really have is that those 8 bytes are all contained within one page. Thus we can deal with the Mesa regression by reducing the alignment requiment from 4k to the same 64 bytes in the kernel. We could even go as low as 32 bytes, but IIRC 64 bytes is the hardware requirement on the 3D engine side so matching that seems sensible. Note that the Mesa alignment chages were partially undone so the regression itself was already fixed on userspace side.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
