[PATCH] drm/radeon: always set GEM function pointer

[PATCH] drm/radeon: always set GEM function pointer

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hi All,

I have released the RC2 of kernel 6.12 with Christian Koenig’s patch for the X1000 and X5000.

Download and further information: https://github.com/chzigotzky/kernels/releases/tag/v6.12.0-rc2

Please test the kernels because of the second Radeon DRM driver issue.

Thanks,
Christian

[PATCHES] drm/radeon issues

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hi All,

There is another issue with the Radeon DRM driver but there is already a patch available for this issue.

Link: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2024-October/473314.html

I compiled a new RC2 of kernel 6.12 with this patch for the X1000 and X5000 today.

Download: https://github.com/chzigotzky/kernels/releases/tag/v6.12.0-rc2-2

We need 3 patches for the Radeon DRM driver currently.

Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian

Can you provide links to all 3 patches?

6.12-rc2 was back merged to my ath.git project, but then my laptop
stopped booting correctly and I discovered a few Radeon KASAN reports.
Based upon my search of lore I found:

20241003060650.18454-1-wuhoipok@gmail.com
[PATCH] drm/radeon: add late_register for connector

20241007183241.1584-1-christian.koenig@amd.com
[PATCH] drm/radeon: always set GEM function pointer

But that is only 2 patches.

radeon_fbdev_river_fbdev: failed to initialize framebuffer and setup emulaton

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hello,

I have the same issue on another machine either. Blank screen during the 
boot. The Radeon graphics framebuffer device doesn't work anymore.

Here is the modifed code from the DRM updates (drm-next-2025-07-30):

Do you have a patch for reverting these modifications? I would like to 
revert these modifications for testing.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

This change just bumps the driver version it shouldn't affect the fbdev.

This only affects acceleration, it should not affect fbdev.

What chip are you using?  Can you attach your full dmesg output?  Can
you bisect?  This cultrit could be a core drm change.

Hello Alex,

Thanks for your answer.

I use a BARTS chip (Radeon HD6870). I would like to bisect but I don't 
have time for it currently. Sorry

There are some other user reports:

- https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?p=60606#p60606
- https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?p=60595#p60595

They use other Radeon graphics chips.

Bug report: https://github.com/chzigotzky/kernels/issues/15

What do you think about the following commit?

@Hypex
Could you please attach your full dmesg output?

Thanks,
Christian

I am using the R580 chip which is the Radeon X1950 XT.

The board i am using is a T1042 PowerPC based one with e5500 core.

I also lost the ability to start Xorg and therefore just a blank screen.

radeon_fbdev_river_fbdev: failed to initialize framebuffer and setup emulation

Hello Mario,

Thanks a lot for your patch.

I tested it today but unfortunately it doesn’t solve the issue with the Radeon framebuffer.

I have created two kernels with and without the drm-next-2025-07-30 updates [1] because of the issue with the Radeon graphics framebuffer device #15. [2]

Download and further information: https://github.com/chzigotzky/kernels/releases/tag/v6.17.0-alpha5

I have tested both kernels this week and I can definitely confirm, that the issue is somewhere in the commit drm-next-2025-07-30 updates [1].

The Radeon graphics framebuffer doesn't work with the kernel with the drm-next-2025-07-30 updates [1]. Without these updates, the framebuffer works.

I bisected yesterday. [2]

There are some other user reports:

- https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?p=60606#p60606
- https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?p=60595#p60595

They use other Radeon graphics chips.

@All
Please check the drm-next-2025-07-30 updates [1]

Thanks,
Christian

I think there is a mistake in your bisect, which I notice from looking 
at your other user reports.

The original commit you identified in your bisect and thus CC'ed me came 
in 6.16-rc1.

❯ git describe --contains 4d4c10f763d7808fbade28d83d237411603bca05
v6.16-rc1~50^2~19^2

There absolutely was a regression for that was raised, but this was 
fixed in 6.16-rc3.

❯ git describe --contains 907a7a2e5bf40c6a359b2f6cc53d6fdca04009e0
v6.16-rc3~13^2~1

Users in your forums posts talk about 6.16 final working fine.  So I 
think that when you bisected you ran into multiple confounding issues 
and replicated in a similar fashion.  You should check every single 
bisect step to see if 4d4c10f763d7808fbade28d83d237411603bca05 is 
applied.  If it's applied but 907a7a2e5bf40c6a359b2f6cc53d6fdca04009e0 
is not applied in that step you should apply 
907a7a2e5bf40c6a359b2f6cc53d6fdca04009e0.

Hopefully that will get you down to the real cause.

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately I don’t have more time for figuring out the issue.

Two facts:

- The Radeon driver can no longer be used.
The Radeon driver is broken for us.

- The issue is somewhere in the commit drm-next-2025-07-30 updates [1].

I cannot provide any more due to time constraints.

I've already spent time that I didn't actually have.

Thanks for your help.

If you're sure that the issue was raised in that merge commit, I suggest 
you (or someone else affected by this issue) do the bisect using the drm 
kernel tree [1] and bisect between the problematic tag [2] and previous 
tag [3].

Yes, it helps. The Radeon framebuffer works again.

Hi. Sorry just found this. Do you still need a dmesg? I collected a few

Hi Damien,

Never mind. There is a patch [1]. The issue is solved. (Thanks to Alex)

Okay that's good. Patch looks simple given the trouble this issue 
caused. I actually found the email on the forums when following the 
links and noticed an at me. I do obviously receive the emails. But don't 
always read them all and tend to check the forum for updates.
