Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Code Review Request for AMDGPU Hotplug Support

Hi Andrey,

 

We just tried kernel 5.16 based on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agd5f/linux.git amd-staging-drm-next branch, and found out that hotplug did not work out of box for Rocm compute stack.

We did not try the rendering stack since we currently are more focused on AI workloads.

 

We have also created a patch against the amd-staging-drm-next branch to enable hotplug for ROCM stack, which were sent in another later email with same subject. I am attaching the patch in this email, in case that you would want to delete that later email.

 

Best regards,

Shuotao

[You don't often get email from andrey.grodzovsky@xxxxxxx. Learn why this is important at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.]

Looks like you are using 5.13 kernel for this work, FYI we added
hot plug support for the graphic stack in 5.14 kernel (see

I am not sure about the code part since it all touches KFD driver (KFD
team can comment on that) - but I was just wondering if you try 5.14
kernel would things just work for you out of the box ?
