Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU

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
