Plus a bug fix that sorts freezes that happen with the modesetting DDX in KDE Plasma - which is significantly worse with Xorg Server 1.20

Is there a mesa bug that we can look at for this?

It only affected X 1.20, if you were seeing anything before then it's another bug that hasn't been fixed.

Nope, it happened on older releases too, it was worse on 1.20 because it switched to using 64bit timers, it happened just less frequently on 1.19.5

This resulted in hangs with the Xorg modesetting driver as of xserver 1.20 (older versions and other drivers ignored the upper 32 bits of the target MSC, which is why this wasn't noticed earlier).

Re-read the comment, the reason why it wasn't' noticed with earlier version of Xorg....

I just did, and again it's because older versions of Xorg ignored the upper 32 bits. If it was being ignored, then it couldn't have been causing crashes. Because it was ignored.

If it was causing crashes, then ipso facto it would have been noticed.... Just like the devs said it wasn't.

It wasn't causing crashes, it was causing freezes
