Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU (lemdro.id)

I have a few questions, please comment if you match all of most of these:

  • Do you use an RX 6000 series GPU?

  • Do you experience random freezes when playing games?

  • Are those freezes a "page fault"? (Use journalctl to check)

  • Do these issues occur in OpenGL games?

  • Are the page faults a GCVM_PROTECTION_FAULT?

  • What mesa version do you use?

  • What Linux distro do you use?

I've been having frequent freezes and it renders my operating system nearly unusable. I have to restart my computer to recover, and I lose all of my unsaved work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you use an RX 6000 card on Linux but have not had this issue?

6800xt user here Been dealing with it since like july-august , most commonly happens in OW2 and Starfield, not using opengl for those of course

Minecraft is the only opengl game I play, it has had a couple mystery crashes here and there but none were pagefaults

I've been running mesa-git updated almost every night running Arch with KDE.

It's been annoying, I can't find a consistent way to trigger it sometimes going days without happening.

Linux 6.7rc kernels and recent mesa commits have helped but it still happens about once every 2-3 days
