    I'm glad to see that this RC mentions IOMMU drivers. I immediately went on and confirmed that this fix is in: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/co...d611c5d2b9b56a

    The issue caused me to lose HDMI/DP audio outputs on Fedora with 5.19.8 with an RX 6600 XT. Funnily enough, the regression report mentions it should be broken for all 5.19.x, but it works with 5.19.7

        I recently set up btrfs raid 1 across 2x pcie4 for my boot drive and was disappointed in the read performance with encryption and compression (about 1 GBps read, 4 GBps write), so I was excited by the news of the performance increase in 6.0 and had to try the rc. I now get up to 4GBps read performance. On raid 0 on the same drives (no compression/encryption), I previously got around 2GBps read and now get 11GBps.
