Comment 23 for bug 1798165

Jason, applying your patch against Linux 4.18.0-rc8 (yes, I know I should upgrade) resolves the issue in Rise of Nations: Extended Edition. In my cursory test, i915_request allocations do not exceed 163 and alt-tabbing back to the KDE 5 desktop drops them to 15. Prior to the patch, it would have thousands of allocations by now. I do not see the issue that leozinho29_eu reported, although I did not try `INTEL_DEBUG=nohiz`.

Your patch looks good to me. Feel free to add my Reviewed-by and my Tested-by. To be clear, I know what saying to add my Reviewed-by means. I followed the "Reviewer’s statement of oversight" before offering it:
