As I already said, the commit in question has no description whatsoever, and does not reference the issue that drove it in any way, shape or form . No commit message, no comment in the code. One should not have to spend 20 minutes of Google searching to find something that should have been in the commit message or comments .

I agree it could be better, but it is what it is. Things are never perfect, we all do the best we can. Glad you found your answer.

The developers immediately blamed the driver and blacklisted it across the board for all GPU variants and all possible driver versions, based on a single report - a report of a problem that turned out to be within darktable itself. (Failure to perform required cache invalidation of compiled kernels). The improper caching was solved by pull 2033 - yet the driver is still blacklisted.

Perhaps they just didn’t want to deal with it nor the bug reports that come with it. Good news it that it’s proper free software, so you can patch out the blacklisted module with ease.
