I upgraded to Impish a while ago.

I haven’t seen “retry page fault” messages in a long while (I don’t think 
it’s related to the distro upgrade, but not sure) so I’d say this 
particular bug is fixed at least for me (I have a Picasso GPU).

Which is not to say that things are rosy, unfortunately. But the other 
issues I see don’t cause any message to appear in dmesg so it’s hard to 
search for existing bug reports about them or open a new one.

The following is off-topic for this bug report, but I’ll mention anyway, 
hope you’ll bear with me:

One thing I noticed is that things did get rosy when I did two things:

1. Switched from Xorg to Wayland.
2. Switched Firefox to use Wayland as well.

This led me to the conclusion that the bugs that plague my machine are 
triggered by something that Firefox does when it uses X (both “natively” or 
via XWayland). For some reason, when it uses Wayland it doesn’t trigger 
these GPU bugs.

Another thing that might be relevant is that I have tons of tabs open 
(probably more than 200) distributed in 27 open windows. Perhaps I’m 
stressing some kind of resource limit in the driver or firmware?

Bug description:
  After upgrading linux-firmware from 1.190.5 to 1.197 (as part of the
  upgrade from Ubuntu 20.10 to 21.04), I started experiencing frequent
  and severe GPU instability. When this happens, I see this error in
  dmesg:

  [20061.061069] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: [gfxhub0] retry page fault

  [20061.061189] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu:      RW: 0x0

  I'll attach a couple of full dmesgs that I collected.

  Many of the times when this happens, the screen and keyboard freeze
  irreversibly (I tried waiting for more than 30 minutes, but it doesn't
  help). I can still log in via ssh though. When there's no freeze, I
  can continue using the computer normally, but the laptop fans keep
  running are always running and the battery depletes fast. There's
  probably something on a permanent loop either in the kernel or in the
  GPU.

  This bug happens several times a day, rendering the machine so
  unstable as to be almost unusable. It is a severe regression and I'm
  aghast that it passed AMD's Quality Assurance.

  After downgrading back to linux-firmware 1.190.5, the machine is back
  to the previous, mostly-reliable state. Which is to say, this bug is
  gone, I'm just left with the other amdgpu suspend bug I've learned to
  live with since I bought this computer.

  Please revert the amdgpu firmware in this package as soon as possible.
  This is unbearable.
