Bug Description

SRU Justification:

[Impact]
On IceLake platforms there might be a thin, horizon strap of corruption
image at the top of screen randomly after some series of window
operations and disappears within a second or so. This is found on
multiple platforms and is quite annonying that results in bad user
experience.

[Fix]
The upstream bug has been filed for previous platforms, e.g. GeminiLake
for an year or so, still working in progress, and so far this only known
work-around is to turn off framebuffer compression on affected platforms.

[Test Case]
The most easy way is to observe if such corruption appears during the
transition from GDM to gnome-shell.

[Regression Risk]
Low. The work-around for GeminiLake was landed to Linux stable 4.14.125
and has been backported to B/D.

======= Original Description ======

This is an follow-up for https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id-108085 but found on IceLake platforms.

Right after GDM is login screen is rendered, there might be a thin strap of corrupted image at top of the display for a short while. Like f-d-o bug 108085, sometimes it can also be reproduced by clicking the date/time repeatedly to open and close the calendar several times. Etc.

Known work-around so far is to append kernel boot param "i915.enable_fbc=0".

This is a duplicate to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108085 that happens on IceLake platform as well.

It can be reproduced on linux v5.3-rc6 today, with the reproduce steps listed in bug 108085, but one can easily found a horizontal line of corruption at the top of the screen when logging in from gdm.

Blacklist IceLake as https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=396dd8143bdd94bd1c358a228a631c8c895a1126 did for GeminiLake is a known work-around so far.
