Phoronix: Linux 5.14 Set To See Many New Features, New GPU Support, Other Exciting Changes

Linux 5.13 will debut tomorrow if Linus Torvalds is comfortable with the state of the code-base, which in turn will mark the opening of the Linux 5.14 merge window. Here is a look at what is on the table for this next follow-on version of the Linux kernel...

Out of curiosity I tried to test 5.14 for the amdgpu HMM patchset, along with the patch for rocm thunk (https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute...fxkamd/hmm-wip). Whenever I run any opencl code the memory allocation fails on my RX580. bridgman Did you guys test opencl on Polaris with the HMM patches? It might be broken, unless I missed something.

Yes, your card is GFXv8. Current focus is on GFXv9 in data centers.

Does anyone know what ever happened to Paragons efforts at mainlining their open source NTFS3 driver? Would’ve thought I’d see that by now.

dang. that kinda sucks. considering I'd like to pick up an RX580/590 at some point, it would be nice to be able to run ROCm on it. Or maybe I'm confused about how the openc support is implemented? is ROCm by itself any better?

v26 of the patches were posted April 2, to mostly crickets. A few comments asking about QA/testing/maintenance were posted May 20th, and there's been nothing since.

I suspect some people may be on vacation.

Yeah, I'm not worried HMM won't work on my card, I'm worried the patches broke previously working compute/OpenCL for gfx8/polaris.
