Thanks, Niemeyer,
The SRU is in progress.
** Also affects: linux-oem-6.8 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
SRU Justification:
==============
[Impact]
To encode some video files with ffmpeg, and the system becomes completely
unresponsive for as long as the process executes.
[Fix]
Enable Wa_14019159160 and Wa_16019325821 for MTL.
[Test]
Tested on hardware, the system works fine when run the same script to
encode.
[Where problems could occur]
It may break intel i915 driver.
+ =========================
-
- I've been using a Lenovo X12 Detachable Gen 2 model from 2024 [1] to encode
some video files with ffmpeg, and the system becomes completely unresponsive
for as long as the process executes. Although small, this is a pretty good
device hardware wise, and while executing the system has plenty of RAM (32GB
total, 10GB+ left), almost all CPUs are idle, no IO wait.

Things I've tried:
1) Lowering the priority of ffmpeg with renice
2) Lowering the priority of ffmpeg with ionice
3) Using a single thread in ffmpeg
4) Switching to the lowlatency kernel, with all recommended fiddling
5) Switching to the OEM kernel (6.8.0-1010-oem)
Nothing even touches the complete lack of responsiveness. The system
becomes so unresponsive that when typing nothing shows up, and then
characters show repeated as long sequences all at once.
In addition to the attached information, some details about the moment
the problem happens:

It may also be worth mentioning, the ffmpeg process is using hardware
encoding/decoding.
Thanks for any help on this.
