Hi,

Just following up on this report.

I completed a git bisect and identified the first bad commit:

danilo@danilo-B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI:~/kernel-bisect/linux$ git bisect good
b3c98052d46948a8d65d2778c7f306ff38366aac is the first bad commit
commit b3c98052d46948a8d65d2778c7f306ff38366aac

    Merge tag 'kvm-x86-vmx-6.4' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

    KVM VMX changes for 6.4:

     - Fix a bug in emulation of ENCLS in compatibility mode

     - Allow emulation of NOP and PAUSE for L2

     - Misc cleanups

Assunto: RE: AMDGPU Tonga suspend regression identified between kernel 6.3 and 
6.4

Hello Alex,
I hope you're doing well.
First
 of all, thank you for your guidance and encouragement regarding the
bisect process β€” it was very helpful and allowed me to narrow down the
issue precisely.
I
 would like to report a regression affecting my GPU, an AMD Radeon R9
380 (Tonga), where HDMI output stops working after suspend/resume. The
issue is fully reproducible and was not present in Linux 6.3.
________________________________________
πŸ” Summary
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380 (Tonga)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
RAM: 16 GB
Display: HDMI
Driver: amdgpu (RADV Tonga)
Display server behavior:
X11 β†’ ❌ HDMI β€œno signal” after resume
Wayland β†’ βœ… Works normally
Kernel status:
Linux 6.3 β†’ βœ… Working correctly
Linux 6.4+ β†’ ❌ Regression present (X11 only)
________________________________________
⚠️ Problem Description
After
 resuming from suspend under X11, the system continues running normally,
 but the HDMI display loses signal completely ("no signal").
The issue is 100% reproducible and requires a reboot to restore video output.
This problem does not occur under Wayland, which strongly suggests an issue in 
the X11/DRM interaction path or display reinitialization specific to that stack.
________________________________________
πŸ§ͺ Bisect Result
A full git bisect was performed between Linux 6.3 (good) and Linux 6.4 (bad).
Result:
First bad commit:
b3c98052d46948a8d65d2778c7f306ff38366aac
Merge tag 'kvm-x86-vmx-6.4'
Last known good:
4a5fd419952e49ef870e9259d815718062871cc1
________________________________________
🧠 Additional Notes
All intermediate commits tested during bisect (mostly KVM-related) were marked 
as GOOD.
The regression appears to be introduced indirectly via this merge rather than a 
direct amdgpu/DRM change.
The behavior strongly suggests a failure in display reinitialization or EDID 
handling after resume, specifically affecting X11.
Full bisect log available upon request.
________________________________________
πŸ’‘ Real-world relevance
Despite being an older GPU, the R9 380 (Tonga) remains a capable and widely 
used card.
As
 a practical example, this GPU is still capable of running modern titles
 (e.g., Resident Evil Requiem via Proton), demonstrating that continued
stability and support improvements remain highly relevant.
Given
 the high cost of newer GPUs, maintaining reliability and fixing
regressions on this class of hardware is very important for users.
________________________________________
πŸ“Ž Reproduction Steps
Boot system with HDMI connected
Log into an X11 session
Suspend the system
Resume
HDMI signal is lost ("no signal")
________________________________________
πŸ™ Closing
I hope this bisect result helps narrow down the issue.
Please let me know if I can assist further with testing or provide logs β€” I 
would be happy to help in any way possible.
Thank you again for your support and for your work on AMD GPU support.
Best regards,
Danilo Machado


This regression affects:

  *   AMD Radeon R9 380 (Tonga)

  *   HDMI output (no signal after resume)

  *   System freeze under X11

Important:

  *   Issue does NOT occur under Wayland

Please let me know if further testing or logs are needed.

Thanks
