NVIDIA Engineer Fixes Early Linux 6.15 Performance Regression Affecting AMD GPU Drivers
Here is open-source at its finest with a NVIDIA Linux kernel engineer ultimately making a fix to a performance regression that came up for AMD integrated and discrete graphics when running on the early Linux 6.15 kernel code.
Merged last week as part of all the Intel / AMD x86_64 updates for Linux 6.15 was a change to the Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR). NVIDIA engineer Balbir Singh made that change and ultimately is what ended up regressing the AMD drivers. This AMD graphics driver performance regression will now be fixed in the latest Linux 6.15 Git code as soon as the pull lands, which should be later today.
