Worked on the geerlingguy/linux repository to address a rendering stall issue in the Intel FBC driver, focusing on kernel development and device driver reliability. Delivered a targeted bug fix in C that adjusted clock gating timing, ensuring the FBC compressor’s clock gating is enabled only after full disablement. This approach resolved a stall-prone condition during frontbuffer rendering, aligning with the wa_18038517565 specification and improving frame cadence for graphics-sensitive workloads. The work involved thorough code analysis, disciplined patching, and validation within the Linux kernel DRM subsystem, demonstrating expertise in embedded systems and a methodical approach to stability and performance improvements.
