Yes, just having PageFlip enabled in amdgpu guarantees it. Changing anything
other than PageFlip doesn't seem to affect it. Forcing TearFree on with
PageFlip disabled may also trigger it, I think. You may try my previously
linked kernel build in your testing but I doubt that it has something specific
for it.

It may be not reproducible with modesetting X driver because it fails to engage
page flipping on init and throws a bunch of errors about it in Xorg.0.log. For
some reason I'm unable to use modesetting X driver at all, even with page
flipping disabled, it draws only mouse cursor on black background instead of
sddm login screen. So I have to use amdgpu with PageFlip and TearFree
explicitly disabled. But then another, rarer
0010:amdgpu_vm_update_directories+0xe7/0x260 dereference may happen regardless
(which I suspect is connected with vm_update_mode option, unlike the first
one).

By the way, is there any disadvantage in forcing TearFree to be always on when
it works ? Like additional frame of latency or something like that ?
