amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout crash when playing in VR

I play VR on a laptop (Zephyrus G14 with 6800S GPU) with Monado/WiVRn and in recent kernels I'm frequently crashing with this error:

Nov 28 23:39:06 shondo kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, signaled seq=7073226, emitted seq=7073228
Nov 28 23:39:06 shondo kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Process information: process VRChat.exe pid 103125 thread UnityGfxDeviceW pid 103237
Nov 28 23:39:08 shondo kernel: [drm:amdgpu_cs_ioctl [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Failed to initialize parser -125!
Nov 28 23:39:08 shondo systemd-coredump[108386]: [?] Process 99657 (Xwayland) of user 60283 dumped core.

what follows after that are several coredumps and my system crashes to the login screen.

I'm using GDM with Gnome and everything is up to date. I'm on the linux-zen kernel. I use CoreCtrl to set the GPU to the VR profile and the GPU and Memory frequency sliders to maximum.

It seems to happen when there is more going on in the game. For example when joining a busy world in VRChat (quiet worlds tend not to crash). After joining a busy world I usually crash within 5 minutes.

If I use the LTS kernel, then the problem goes away, but I get around half the frame rate in game. I'm playing using Valve's Proton.

A few months ago I was also getting random crashes while on the desktop. It would hang for a moment then crash to the login screen, but that doesn't seem to happen any more. Only when playing VR. It might also happen during non-VR games, but I haven't tested it.

The last time I experienced this error was a few years ago when my 5700XT was quite new (this was in a desktop), but they stopped happening after some time.

Thanks.

Does this issue also occur if you dont use "linux-zen" but "linux" instead?
