I have got Radeon RX 5700 XT which has unstable driver. So that amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 flag would be helpful if even that could work well. Unfortunately it doesn't. My kernel's latest commit ID: 53dbc27ad5a93932ff1892a8e4ef266827d74a0f ( fix AVFS handling with custom powerplay table) On branch drm-next-5.5 Display server: X11 WM: BSPWM DM: Slim Journalctl output: https://pastebin.com/if4PYda7 The error is the "average" ring sdma0 timeout. After reset, the actual application that caused the crash, stays on the screen, The screen is flickering, vibrating, I'm frequently able to see some green rectangle at the top of the screen with full width. But I can able to move mouse. Also I cannot do anything else, because then BSPWM can switch workspaces (I can see it by the type of the mouse cursor), but the crashed application stays on the screen anyway, so I have to restart. At least, I can save my work if I remember which workspace contained my work.
Don't expect this to work anytime soon unfortunately. AMD really slacked off with the drivers for this and similar bug reports have been open for months. As for your work, save early, save often while writing. Don't rely on auto-save doing it for you. Get in the habit of Ctrl+S'ing often. Ideally you shouldn't be using a 5700 if you're dealing with sensitive work.
