crashes with kernel >= 6.9.7

[oliverbestmann]

I needed to downgrade to 6.9.5 to get a stable system, wayland/gnome completelly freezes after a few minutes. Kernel 6.9.5 is running stable for me for a few weeks now.

this seems like an OOM error to me, though memory usage is low.

this happens to me as well, how did you downgrade the kernel to 6.9.5? In the commit history I only see that the latest release was 6.8.10-4
nevermind, @oliverbestmann has a fork on his profile.

wayland/gnome completelly freezes after a few minutes

I haven't seen the issue in such a severe way, but I'm going to play it safe and downgrade to 6.9.5 (thank you for the fork!). I finished updating yesterday and things have been fine overall for me on GNOME until a random crash about an hour ago. When my laptop display froze prior to the auto-reboot, the resource monitor widget didn't show any high usage.

Would it be best to simply revert to 6.9.5 for now, or even 6.8? Things seemed okay enough on my machine (I wrote the release notes and did all the issue management on the latest release) but the linked issue looks scary.

I am using 6.9.5 as my daily driver for a about two weeks now. But I can understand a downgrade to 6.8. I have the hashes here if you decide to go with 6.9.5: oliverbestmann@2a5a7f4

6.9.5 seems to be working in a stable manner for me, at least on my m1 pro. until more issues come up suggesting otherwise, I would say just stick with 6.9.5

edit: maybe make a seperate branch? or keep 6.9.9 on the wip branch idk

The latest release downgrades to 6.9.5. I plan to keep this open until a resolution is found and we can upgrade again.

Not really a fix, but here's an explanation https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/112807476204884179

As discussed below, @asahilina has kindly made a workaround for the drm_sched_can_queue issue on 6.9.9:
AsahiLinux/linux#309

Kernel commit:
AsahiLinux/linux@fd34a0c

I have made a fork of the nixos-apple-silicon repo pointing to the new kernel commit:
cjdell@cf6ef8b

I am about to test. :-)

that's a different bug

I tested the latest Asahi Linux 6.9.9-7 tag for several hours today and was unable to break it. I just did a new release with it, so this should be fixed on our side. Thanks all for the help diagnosing and collaborating with the Asahi folks, it's really helpful.
