Linux's New Way Of Informing User-Space Over Hung GPUs May Become More Useful
Last month I wrote about new code slated to be added for Linux 6.15 that would provide a cross-driver/standardized means of reporting to user-space over hung GPUs
"I experimented with using this in KWin, and [the proposed code] makes it fall back to a software renderer when a rebind is required to recover the GPU. Making it also survive the rebind properly is more challenging (current version of the MR doesn't do it for you and just crashes if you do it with a udev rule or manually), but it's doable - and not a problem of the API. André Almeida with consulting firm Igalia took that idea and posted a patch-set providing that application informaiton for the GPU wedge events.
