A big batch of AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel graphics and compute driver updates were mailed in for DRM-Next ahead of the upcoming [1]Linux 6.13 kernel cycle.

A bunch of "new stuff" was submitted by AMD for their Radeon and Instinct updates destined for the Linux 6.13 kernel. Among the changes are adding SDMA queue reset support in the event of problems, initial runtime repartitioning support with a focus on compute workloads, brightness control updates, better handling multiple instances of an IP block, and a lot of fixes/updates pertaining to recent and upcoming hardware support.

This morning's AMDGPU pull request sums up this batch of Linux 6.13 changes as:
