[PATCH 3/4] drm/amdgpu: Add kernel parameter for ignoring bad page threshold

Kent Russell kent.russell at amd.com
Tue Oct 19 17:50:49 UTC 2021


When a GPU hits the bad_page_threshold, it will not be initialized by
the amdgpu driver. This means that the table cannot be cleared, nor can
information gathering be performed (getting serial number, BDF, etc).
Add an override called ignore_bad_page_threshold that can be set to true
to still initialize the GPU, even when the bad page threshold has been
reached.
