Linux's New Way Of Informing User-Space Over Hung GPUs May Become More Useful
([Linux Kernel] 1 March 03:09 PM EST
Extending Wedged Events)
Last month I wrote about new code slated to be added for Linux 6.15 that would provide a cross-driver/standardized means of reporting to user-space over hung GPUs. For the likes of the AMD and Intel graphics drivers initially, user-space will be notified via this new wedged event when a GPU is hung in case user-space wants to take additional actions to try to recover the GPU or at least properly note the troubled state of the GPU. There are now proposed patches under review for further extending this functionality.
