[amdgpu] Several stability bugs in pre-5.17 kernels, e.g. on AMD RX 6600 XT

[Dennis Gnad]

Since updating to kernel 5.15 in Ubuntu LTS 20.04, I got several stability issues with my AMD RX 6600 XT graphics adapter. I upgraded to LTS 22.04 with the hope to be able to get more recent kernels, but there are no HWE kernels and the GA kernel is still 5.15, while I would expect it to be at least on kernel.org's recent stable kernel, 5.19.3 as of now.

These are the bugs that seem to affect me and other users of more recent AMD GPUs:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1819
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1871
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1887

If you read the bugs, you find that people report kernel version 5.17 or more recent to fix them, which I can confirm: I started to run the Ubuntu OEM kernel ( 5.17.0-1015-oem ), and thus far got a 100% stable system.

So, I guess these problems will be solved with the next HWE kernel, that is expected to be added to the Ubuntu 22.04 archive in October. However, for current Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04 HWE users, there is no supported solution to get a stable system with various amdgpu adapters.

Meanwhile many HWE kernels were published and the current HWE kernel is 6.2.0-31.31~22.04.1. Can you test with this kernel?

[Dennis Gnad (bluesceada-1)]

Sorry I overlooked that last message. I actually had a working system from around 6.2.0 to 6.5.0-17. It seems around 6.5.0-18 a new problem was introduced that now causes intermittent freezes. See the new bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2055818
