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.

Ciao, Thorsten
Thanks for the pointers, I'll do a bisection on my desktop from 6.1 to the newest commit. 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.

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.

Kind regards,
Felix
