--- Comment #9 from Timur Kristóf <ven...@msn.com> ---
I think I discovered a possible reason for this issue. If you look at the
DDEBUG dumps, it says in several places: "This slot was corrupted in GPU
memory". So I began to suspect something was wrong with the VRAM.
After looking around a bit, I found that the amdgpu driver does not honor the
voltage settings from the VBIOS, and sets the memory to use lower voltages
instead. So basically the driver undervolts the VRAM without me asking to do
so. I guess this might be considered a feature for some people.
However, when I manually edit pp_od_clk_voltage to increase the OD_MCLK
voltages, then the card begins to work in a stable manner and the GPU hang is
gone. (Or at the very least I haven't seen a hang yet, whereas previously it
used to hang in less than a minute.)
In my case, the VBIOS wants to set the MCLK voltages to 1000 mV at all
frequencies, while amdgpu sets them to 750 mv, 800 mV, and 900mV. And it turns
out that 900 mV is just too low for my card at 1750 MHz.
[root@timur-xps ~]# cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
