[PATCH] Revert "drm/radeon: Try evicting from CPU accessible to inaccessible VRAM first"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thx for the suggestions.

No, it does not respond to ping.

radeon.dpm=0 does not help. But it only tells to use the old power
management right ?
So I tried: low, mid and high for /sys/class/drm/card0/device/prower_profile
 (and setting profile for power_mode)
With radeon.dpm=1 I tried all values for power_dpm_state /
power_dpm_force_performance_level. Same results.

I also tried today amd-staging-4.9 branch and same result.

Note that this also happens on W600 (verde), W9000 (tahiti) and W9100
(hawaii), with radeonsi driver.

I have open a bug here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100465
. It contains a test to reproduce the freeze.

Cheers
Julien
