[Regression] amdgpu driver broken on AMD HD7770 GHz edition.

Hello, I have tested and found this bug to occur on the specified bisected commit through Linux Kernel version 5.11.12. I am running Devuan (Debian) Linux with a hand created kernel config. I'm attaching it. I've bisected the kernel and found the broken commit. Here's how I got there in case you'r

Linux Kernel build bug with AMD_IOMMU_V2=M and HSA_AMD=Y

Hello, (There are so many maintainers for kfd_iommu.c I feel like I'm spamming.) When compiling for Linux version 5.11.12 using the AMDGPU GPU driver with HSA_AMD enabled, I get the below set of errors. To work around this, I need to change AMD_IOMMU_V2 from M to Y. This bug doesn't affect linux k

OT: How to report a HW bug

Hello, I'm asking how to report a bug in the physical HW here because I can't think of anywhere else to ask where there might be people who have done this before. The HW in question is an AMD 3900X and ASRock Taichi B550 MB. I have turned both CPU and MB in for warranty and the defect remains. W

PROBLEM: Reiser4 hard lockup

Hello, # Intro Pardon my tardiness in reporting this, I was stalling my disk upgrade to help test a fix for a reiserfs problem. I needed to get my life going again before taking the time to report this. This is a heads up for a serious problem. I no longer use reiser4 anymore because I can't have

PATCH reiser4 support for Linux 5.8.10

I'm a kernel dev newbie. Please double check my work if in doubt. The patch for reiser4 support for Linux 5.8.1 didn't apply to 5.8.10. It needed only a one line change, but because of all the fuzzy matching and offset matching I thought I'd make a new one. The file that failed to patch is fs/fs-w

Is anyone else getting a bad signature from kernel.org's 5.8 sources+Greg's sign?

Hello, I downloaded the kernel sources from kernel.org using curl, then opera, and finally lynx (to rule out an html parsing bug). I did the same with the sign and I keep getting: % gpg2 --verify linux-5.8.tar.sign linux-5.8.tar.xz gpg: Signature made Mon Aug 3 00:19:13 2020 EDT gpg:

PROBLEM: IO lockup on reiserfs FS.

Hello, When running rtorrent (in sync to file mode), my kernel eventually will not write to the disk causing all access to md7 to hang and eventually the kernel will become totally unresponsive. EDIT: I have since gotten a response in the bug tracker and I am filing thins to the reiserfs maintain

Re: PROBLEM: IO lockup on reiserfs FS.

I should add that in chasing down this bug I have tried all the IO schedulers available (noop deadline and cfq). Cfq is the one I'm now using to reproduce this. Also, I don't know if it makes a difference, but when the system first starts up it takes 20m to get from the login manager to having my

[raid] How does raid-check know which piece of data is the correct one

Hello, please CC. I switched to a RAID 5 array about a year ago and I run raid-check every week, the problem is that I've gotten some corruption of some of my files over time (HW failure and cable creep have caused the array to need to rebuild a few times), and I wanted to try to figure it out if t

tigon tg3 firmware missing

Hello, My network driver does not crash like some have reported. I did an internet search for this and found that it is due to the firmware in kernel not being set. Isn't there a way for loading of the tg3 firmware without it needing to be builtin to the kernel? Please CC. Thanks, David -

Suspend wakes right back up

Hello, My laptop will, after a short while, wake right up after issuing the command pm-suspend. The computer does not need to be connected to the internet. I Get no errors and pm-suspend returns 0. This tells me that the kernel must have some sort of wakeup event set. The output on syslog is as fo

Where is nilfs2 fsck

Alas, my beautiful fs has become damaged and fsck does nothing, I think it's a nop. What is wrong, something in the btree, the original message was in syslog but it seems to have rotated, I could tell you but I'd have to cause my kernel to remount my home dir RO, which is not acceptable at this tim
