AMD Graphics Driver Prepares For Per-Queue Resets & Process Isolation In Linux 6.12


A big set of patches have been submitted for DRM-Next of 'new stuff' to the AMDGPU kernel graphics driver and the AMDKFD compute driver with the upcoming Linux 6.12 kernel cycle.

AMD's Alex Deucher on Wednesday evening submitted a big set of AMDGPU/AMDKFD feature patches ahead of the Linux 6.12 merge window opening in mid-September. So the very latest AMD Instinct accelerators will be able to benefit from this AMDGPU/AMDKFD process isolation feature. Linux 6.12 should be out as stable in November and is likely to serve as this year's Long Term Support (LTS) kernel version.
