Improved GPU Reset Recovery For AMD Kaveri, Hawaii & Other GFX7 GPUs With Linux 7.3
A secondary AMDGPU feature pull request targeting Linux 7.3 introduces improved GPU reset recovery for GFX7-era hardware, including Kaveri APUs, Hawaii dGPUs, and Bonaire dGPUs. The work, contributed by Valve's Timur Kristóf, implements GFX IP block soft reset support that allows resetting just the GFX block without wiping VRAM or crashing the entire graphical session. Previously, Kaveri and Kabini had no working GPU recovery at all (requiring a manual reboot on hang), while Hawaii and Bonaire always cleared VRAM on recovery. The new soft reset approach handles clock and power gating properly and resets the full GFX IP block consistently, improving stability for all GFX7 chips.
