Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for ROCm/rocm-systems focused on stability and compatibility improvements for gfx90c on Renoir/Green Sardine APUs. Implemented a GPU ISA xnack mode fix by setting xnack to off in the ISA table for gfx90c to prevent shader loading failures and align with kernel retry settings, addressing issues observed on IP_VERSION 9.0.12. The change reduces runtime shader errors, improves per-queue reset and page fault handling, and strengthens ROCm reliability across affected hardware. The work was completed via a targeted commit that updates the ISA table (rocr: Modify gfx90c xnack mode in isa table (#2669)).

Jan 1, 2026Concise monthly summary for 2026-01 focusing on ROCm/rocm-systems: Key features delivered: - LIBHSKMT virtio driver: introduced a comprehensive set of APIs enabling DMA-BUF cross-process memory sharing, enhanced memory management, AMDGPU device initialization, and queue management. This includes memory registration, BO import/export, VA operations, device handle acquisition, and DRM command support to enable robust IPC memory sharing and flexible GPU memory lifecycle for virtualization workloads. - DMA-BUF import/export and memory mapping: implemented in the virtio KFD driver to support cross-process memory sharing and memory mapping across HSA processes in virtualized environments. - AMDGPU BO lifecycle enhancements: added AMDGPU BO import/export and free/cpu-map capabilities, enabling safer and more flexible memory lifecycles across processes. - Queue and memory API extensions: expanded virtio support for queue management and memory-related operations to improve throughput and scheduling for virtualization scenarios. - Auxiliary API surface: added various stubbed and extended APIs (e.g., SPM, AIS read/write placeholders) to enable future expansion without breaking existing components. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed potential deadlock in userptr deregistration by refactoring lock handling, moving tree removal out of the critical section, and using a temporary collection to free BOs after releasing the mutex. This reduces lock contention and stabilizes driver behavior under high concurrency. - Improved synchronization and error-handling paths across the virtio HSA-KMT interface to improve robustness in cross-process scenarios. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Enabled robust cross-process memory sharing and IPC for HSA memory in virtualized environments, improving virtualization performance, isolation, and flexibility for AMDGPU workloads. - Delivered a substantial feature surface for virtio-backed KFD paths, aligning ROCR/libhsakmt with modern virtualization needs and paving the way for broader adoption and performance improvements. - Demonstrated strong reliability and maintainability through targeted deadlock fixes and better synchronization primitives. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C/kernel-level driver development, virtio protocol, DMA-BUF, and HSA/KMT integration - AMDGPU device lifecycle and DRM command handling - Memory management APIs, BO lifecycle, and memory mapping strategies - Concurrency control, deadlock avoidance, and lock discipline - Code health: symbol exports, API surface design, and forward-looking extensibility

Nov 1, 2025Month 2025-11 — ROCm/rocm-systems delivered a key memory-management feature in the libhsakmt virtio driver along with a reliability fix in the formatting script. The non-SVM mode introduces interval-tree-based userptr tracking, improved memory mapping, and adjusted shared memory sizing to optimize performance and reliability for DGPU workflows. Also fixed a critical path in the formatting script by switching clang-format-diff.py to an absolute path, enhancing portability across environments. Commit-related work includes implementing non-SVM mode (aaa06e160961064772cd4fd93b2ea9cbb54222f9) and the absolute-path format script fix (68c8e111ae805f4b74a80419d699f18b12b0c75c).
