Comment 103 for bug 1388612

Regarding the GPU reset, it is in Linux since 3.19-rc1. So if your GPU is not resetting after crashing, upgrade your kernel. Ubuntu has mainline Linux kernel dpkg packages that work well.

This is the patching commit: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/656bfa3afc14e45e2d9e1624bf60d79b3beb12f2

It sounds like everyone's GPU's are resetting, so I'm wondering if maybe the Ubuntu guys backported this.
