Hi,
I can confirm that setting amdgpu.sg_display=0 does not fix the issue
for me.
I have 64GB of Kinsten Memory running with XMP at 5200MHz. I attached
the result of `dmidecode --type=memory` to this email.
Kind regards
Felix Richter

Hi Guys,
sorry for the silence from my side. I had a lot of things to take
care of after returning from vacation. Also I had to wait on the zfs
modules to be updated to support kernel 6.3 for further testing.
The bad news is that I am still experiencing issues. I have been able
to get a reproducible trigger for the buggy behavior. The moment I
take a screenshot or any other program like `wdisplays` accesses the
screen buffer the screen starts flickering. The only way to reset it
is to reboot the machine or log out of the desktop.
With this I did a bisection to figure out which commit is responsible
for this. I attached the logs to the mail. The short version is that
I identified commit 81d0bcf9900932633d270d5bc4a54ff599c6ebdb as the
culprit. Seems that there are side effects of having more flexible
buffer placement for the case of the internal GPU. To verify that
this actually is the cause of the issue I built the current archlinux
kernel with an extra patch to revert the commit:
https://github.com/ju6ge/linux/tree/v6.3.5-ju6ge. The result is that
be bug is fixed!
Now if this is the desired long term fix I do not know …
Can you provide a dmidecode of your RAM (i.e. # dmidecode --type=memory)?
The current trend seems to suggest that if you have 64 or more gigs of
RAM, you will probably still experience issues with S/G mode enabled
even with my fix applied.
Kind regards,
Felix Richter

Hi,
I am running into an issue with the integrated GPU of the Ryzen 9
7950X. It seems to be a regression from kernel version 6.1 to 6.2.
The bug materializes in from of my monitor blinking, meaning it
turns full white shortly. This happens very often so that the
system becomes unpleasant to use.
I am running the Archlinux Kernel:
The Issue happens on the bleeding edge kernel: 6.2.13
Switching back to the LTS kernel resolves the issue: 6.1.26
I have two monitors attached to the system. One 42 inch 4k Display
and a 24 inch 1080p Display and am running sway as my desktop.
Let me know if there is more information I could provide to help
narrow down the issue.
Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through
the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel
regression
tracking bot:
#regzbot ^introduced v6.1..v6.2
#regzbot title drm: amdgpu: system becomes unpleasant to use after
monitor starts blinking and turns full white
#regzbot ignore-activity
This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify
when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me --
ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page
listed in
the footer of this mail.
Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags
pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in
footer for
details.
This sounds exactly like the issue that was fixed in this patch
which
is already on it's way to Linus:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agd5f/linux/-/commit/08da182175db4c7f80850354849d95f2670e8cd9
FWIW, you in the flood of emails likely missed that this is the same
thread where you yesterday replied "If the module parameter didn't
help
then perhaps you are seeing some other issue. Can you bisect?".
That's
why I decided to add this to the tracking. Or am I missing something
obvious here?
/me looks around again and can't see anything, but that doesn't
have to
mean anything...
Felix, btw, this guide might help you with the bisection, even if
it's
just for kernel compilation:
https://docs.kernel.org/next/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.html
And to indirectly reply to your mail from yesterday[1]. You might
want
to ignore the arch linux kernel git repo and just do a bisection
between
6.1 and the latest 6.2.y kernel using upstream repos; and if I
were you
I'd also try 6.3 or even mainline before that, in case the issue was
fixed already.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll do a bisection on my desktop from 6.1 to
the newest commit.
FWIW, I wonder what you actually mean with "newest commit" here: a
bisection between 6.1 and mainline HEAD might be a waste of time, *if*
this is something that only happens in 6.2.y (say due to a broken or
incomplete backport)
That was the part I was mostly unsure about … where
to start from.
I was planning to use PKGBUILD scripts from arch to achieve the same
configuration as I would when installing
the package and just rewrite the script to use a local copy of the
source code instead of the repository.
That way I can just use the bisect command, rebuild the package and
test
again.
In my experience trying to deal with Linux distro's package managers
creates more trouble than it's worth.
But I probably won't be able to finish it this week, since I am on
vacation starting tomorrow and will not have access to the computer in
question. I will be back next week, by that time the patch Alex is
talking about might
already be in mainline. So if that fixes it, I will notice and let you
know. If not I will do the bisection to figure out what the actual
issue
is.
Enjoy your vacation!
Ciao, Thorsten
