Alibaba Engineers Work To Address Suspend/Resume Bugs With The AMD Graphics Driver
Alibaba engineers have recently been working through some AMD Linux kernel graphics driver bugs uncovered during suspend-and-resume testing with AMD graphics cards.
This patch series from Alibaba's Jiang Liu works to enhance the device state machine so the AMDGPU driver better handles the suspend/resume cycles with these bugs that were uncovered. After analyzing related source code, we found that there may be some fundamental implementation flaws behind these resource tracking issues. Their open-source contribution is now under review and hopefully the patches will be worked through for completing this enhanced device state machine for better suspend/resume handling by the AMD Linux graphics driver.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
