Does anybody know how to report and workaround crashes in the amdgpu Linux driver? On one of my machines, I regularly have system freezes when using Firefox and some other apps, everything freezes but the mouse pointer. Looking at the system logs, it's because of the amdgpu driver, that's way too low level for my current knowledge.

    @KekunPlazas My first reflex would be https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items

    (1/2) @KekunPlazas > I regularly have system freezes when using Firefox and some other apps, everything freezes but the mouse pointer I might be way off the mark, but I used to have this problem regularly. It stopped immediately when I installed NoScript, preventing random companies from running their shitty JavaScript in my browser without my case-by-case consent.

    @KekunPlazas What kind of errors? I remember some years ago I got similar problems and I had at a time a quite recent amd cpu with integrated gpu. At the end I solved upgrading the kernel to the last version. I had also upgrade the bios, but it didn't fix the problems.

    @KekunPlazas So I suppose it started after a kernel upgrade? Maybe with a older kernel work fine? Btw: you can try this kernel option as a workaround: amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1. It should make it less painful, because it reset automaticaly the gpu in working state. Also you can try to disable gpu acceleration inside firefox. I never tried because in my case the problem was only with some old 3d games. Last chance: you can alse try to use the old driver radeon. It should be possible, but I never tried this rabbit hole...

    @KekunPlazas That's funny, because 4 years ago I wrote this forum thread about the exact same question, around the same set of problems: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/where-to-report-amd-gpu-lockups-crasher-hangs-bugs-related-to-seemingly-triggered-by-firefox-va-api-after-resuming-from-suspend/69378 I think filing the issue in Mesa is the answer; even if Mesa does the drivers in the kernel, they are the same people and they probably use the Mesa bug tracker for everything related to drivers. If it's not the right place, then I guess the #Mesa3D / #Mesa folks will be able to direct you, unless they're from Mesa in Arizona.
