Rapid Screen Flickering with amdgpu After Upgrade to Kernel 5.9.1

Hey everyone - I am curious if anyone has had an issue with screen flickering with amdgpu after upgrading to kernel 5.9.1.  I was using kernel 5.8.9-arch2-1 previously, and it did not exhibit the issue.  After playing with settings, I found that I could work around it by lowering the refresh rate of my monitor from 144Hz to 60Hz.  Anything above 60Hz causes the flickering.  The monitor natively supports a 144Hz refresh rate.

I am using an LG 32GK850-F monitor connected via DisplayPort to a PowerColor Red Devil 5700XT.  I only have one monitor connected to the system.

I opened a ticket upstream but I am curious if anyone else has seen this issue.

Everything works fine here with 5.9.1 at 144 Hz (AMD RX 580, DisplayPort, Asus screen). No amdgpu errors in the dmesg output either...

Not seeing the flickering here (120Hz - DP) so far but I'm getting the same dmesg spam as you.

Thanks all.  I wonder if it is a problem with my monitor or if that extra 24Hz makes a difference.

Re: Rapid Screen Flickering with amdgpu After Upgrade to Kernel 5.9.1

I'm having the same issue with my 5700XT Nitro+ and have tried removing 

amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff

from my kernel modules to no effect. I am also unable to see gpu temps, activity, speed, power, or memory speed. When checking sensors I get this error 

ERROR: Can't get value of subfeature fan1_input: I/O error

Running 

journalctl -p 3 -xb

returns a repeating error

Eadthryth, I think you and I are having the same issue since we are seeing similar dmesg output.  What refresh rate are you using?

Re: Rapid Screen Flickering with amdgpu After Upgrade to Kernel 5.9.1

I am using 1 displayport monitor at 60hz and 1 HDMI at 60hz. When I set my displayport monitor above 60hz it starts to flicker.

That is really interesting because mine stops flickering when I use anything that is not 75 or 144Hz (60, 100, 120 are okay).  HDMI and DisplayPort work the same for me, but I only have one monitor connected.

Re: Rapid Screen Flickering with amdgpu After Upgrade to Kernel 5.9.1

I just did an update which included the amd-ucode and linux-firmware packages and 144hz is working fine for me. I am, however, still getting errors but they aren't happening as often(only about 2 every 10-30 seconds).

Similar issue here, not able to suspend or shutdown completely sometimes either.

I also am unable to suspend or fully shutdown and am left with a blinking cursor. All of my GPU sensors return N/A and I can't modify fan curves or any overclocking.

Re: Rapid Screen Flickering with amdgpu After Upgrade to Kernel 5.9.1

Interesting.  I updated to the new Linux firmware package as well (20201023), and I still have the flickering.  Maybe there is some issue with the card or with the card and monitor.   I commented out the code that initializes the i2c component and rebuilt the kernel (see the upstream issue in my original post), and I do not get flickering or dmesg logs at 144Hz.

Re: Rapid Screen Flickering with amdgpu After Upgrade to Kernel 5.9.1

Seems that when I boot the system above 60hz it doesn't flicker but if I change from 60hz to a higher frequency I get the flickering.

UPDATE: I just booted in today (10/27/20) and everything is functioning as normal. The errors are completely gone, my gpu sensors are working properly, and I can shutdown.

UPDATE2: Just got the poweroff issue. Still goes to blinking cursor when trying to power off.
