AMD GPU Crash on Kernel 6.18 on video playback on browser

Setup:

AMD 7950X
RX 9070 XT

KDE Plasma

multiple monitors connected to both the iGPU and dGPU

It is stable with kernel 6.17.9 and prior.

On 6.18 it crashes only with video playback on the browser, with or without llama.cpp running on the dGPU.

At least has of 2025-12-17, don't know if there was any update since then.

Re: AMD GPU Crash on Kernel 6.18 on video playback on browser

There is a bug in the 6.18.1 kernel that's caused by AI (ollama / comfyui / llama.cpp). No fixes yet.

Re: AMD GPU Crash on Kernel 6.18 on video playback on browser

hmm, I did try with llamacpp off and it still crashed... interesting!

Well I am going to test again to see if it is the issue.

Thanks!

In my case it freezes even after I close ComfyUI so if llama.cpp is running as a service for you that might be the reason even if you turn it off afterwards.

Your right, just tested it, probably something to do with ROCm, lets wait and see.

Thanks again!

Glad to see someone has the same problem with me, so I know that it isn't my problem, I was so panic until I see this post.
Do the kernel developers know this issue?

Yes, but I guess it would be OK to comment on either https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4765 or https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4783 to let them know it's affecting more people.

Re: AMD GPU Crash on Kernel 6.18 on video playback on browser

Hello, I have the exact same problem with a AMD 7800X3D CPU and a AMD 9070XT GPU since Linux kernel version 6.18.1.
Would just like to add that the crash/coredump does not only happen when running LLMs, but indeed also when attempting to play a video or a game.

Edit: reverting to kernel version 6.17.9 "fixed" it for now. I've added the kernel to ignored packages in /etc/pacman.conf, guess I'll stick with it for now

Re: AMD GPU Crash on Kernel 6.18 on video playback on browser

Well the bug is in the kernel, so it makes sense. But it's 100% reproducible with LLMs so it's easier to report. I will try to play some games today (holidays yey) and comment if it crashes for me.

It still happens on 6.18.2

Re: AMD GPU Crash on Kernel 6.18 on video playback on browser

I have the same bug, a random crash can occur when watching on full screen mode a youtube video in Firefox, graphic card Radeon RX7600 is used.
