It behaves much better on Windows 10, but even there the browser gives some problems.
Just now, literally now, it was choking and dying because I was using a YouTube page with queued videos (I also have dozens of pages, but they’re not active, so there’s no reason why they should take up performance at all).
I can now also confirm the issue is still on my system in 6.16.5: I have not had it since 6.16 was introduced (and I use 6.16. since 6.16.1, quite some time). So either 6.16 changed something so that the likelihood of occurrences was drastically reduced, or it was reintroduced in 6.16.5.
I have already updated the ticket around AMD #4141.
@gilbert-fernandes if you allow the question, is your system still free of any such issue since 6.14.9? Without the amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 in place? Keep in mind that if you just removed the amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 from the configuration of the installed kernels, the system might re-introduce it later with the next kernel update if it was not removed from the defaults, without you knowing. If your system is really without amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10, did you do anything else in hardware or software or firmware that might made a difference?
In the bug ticket I see you indeed suffered from the error logs of AMD #4141, so I wonder if there might be something else that solved the issue in your case given that others still experience it, something that might help AMD to identify the origin. I am quite satisfied having to experience this atm just once or twice a month or so, but others seem to still have much more occurrences with amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 being no long term solution. Thanks for your contributions again
I had to switch back to Windows when this started happening. Checking back in now because I wanted to install F43, but according to that AMD #4141 ticket the problem still seems to persist. I assume it’s still on issue even on Fedora 43?
Does amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 fully fix the issue? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that some people were still getting the freezing even after that, but maybe less frequently?
The issue is still not understood and thus can still occur, but it can be mitigated.
All of these cases I have reviewed contained indication, or even evidence, that they had a different issue but thought it was the same. In all cases in which we can say for sure that it was this very issue, dcdebugmask command mitigated. There is no guarantee of course as long as we do not fully understand the issue, but at this time, I feel quite confident given the many tests and feedbacks from different perspectives and different operating systems.
I use amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 most of the time (still testing without occasionally), but I saw also that some people wrote to use amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x12 . It seems both work.
I saw Arch already added this to the troubleshooting: AMDGPU - ArchWiki (see section 6.11 “Frozen or unresponsive display (flip_done timed out)”)
Given that Linux systems are usually more efficient than Windows in tests/comparisons, my expectation would be that even with PSR disabled (to mitigate the bug) Fedora is likely to be less power consuming than Windows. You might want to compare your Windows and your Fedora without PSR in your case before replacing the latter with the first
@isaac0clarke I am not sure if you mixed up topics or so This topic is about an issue related to an AMD graphics function in the kernel. While every process/means could be able to trigger the bug in some circumstances, it is itself not related to zram, swap or brave. The only reliable mitigation so far is disabling the PSR function of the kernel, and wait for the AMD upstream ticket to find a solution or the bug to disappear on itself. It proves a tricky one. So please remain focused on the topic
