Description

[Scoobidiver (away)]

Cancel the Direct3D 9/DIRECT2D blocklist for this set of GPUs.

I need confirmation

Comment 2

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

Whoops, incomplete message. I need confirmation that we want to remove these blocks. Are we sure they didn't help at all?

Comment 3

[Joe Drew (not getting mail)]

a=me to remove the blocks, obviously with follow-up monitoring to make sure the crashes don't spike again.

Comment 4

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

I've deleted both blocks from staging. Juan, please verify that the blocks are gone from blocklist.xml and their removal works correctly.

Comment 5

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Jorge: I have the machine at my desk for this testing. I modified about:config to point to staging and it appears as if it works correctly as now I am unblocked and I do not see those entries in blocklist.xml (would be helpful to reference the block IDs so it is easier to verify on the QA side).

Looks good. I've removed the blocks from prod. Please make sure that blocks g81 and g95 are not in the blocklist anymore (it can take up to an hour for the blocklist to refresh server-side).
