[3.7-rc5/rc6 regression] "drm/nvc0/disp: fix regression in vblank semaphore release" broke nouveau driver and mplayer

[Mikael Pettersson]

mplayer worked fine on my Dell Latitude E6510 (nVidia GT218 [NVS 3100M] graphics)
up to and including kernel 3.7-rc4. However, with 3.7-rc5 or -rc6, any attempt to
run mplayer just blanks the screen, shows some stray white pixels in the upper left
corner, kills the X server, and spews the following errors from the kernel:

The error is 100% repeatable.

git bisect identified the following culprit:

I've confirmed that reverting this from -rc5 and -rc6 allows mplayer to work again.

User-space is Fedora 15 x86_64 w/ final updates, plus mplayer-1.0-0.129.20110917svn from rpmfusion.
There are no binary-only or otherwise out-of-tree kernel or X drivers anywhere on the machine.

Please revert or fix this breakage before kernel 3.7.0 final.

I see the same problem on my workstation with a G86 [Quadro NVS 290] (rev a1)
running Debian (sid) with:
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.12.4-3
libdrm-nouveau1a:amd64 2.4.33-3
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.1-3
and mplayer2 2.0-600-g95e81df w/the xv video output driver

I bisected to the same commit as well.

That patch fixes the bug I reported. Thanks.

Do you happen to know if this fix will make it into 3.7, or do you think 
it won't happen until 3.8?

Thanks,
