[drm:radeon_cs_ioctl [radeon]] ERROR Failed to parse relocation -12!

Thu Aug 4 08:06:37 UTC 2022

On Debian 11 Bullseye amd64 with local builds of the kernel (mainline 
RCs, and stable tree) and at least since v5.16 through to v5.19, this 
error consistently occurs when using VLC (vlc/stable,stable-security,now 
3.0.17.4-0+deb11u1 amd64) to play videos - although other players which 
likely use a different mechanism are fine which is what I've been doing 
but finally got fed up with it!

Is there any debugging I can do to help resolve it?

I suspect it's related to VA-API.

Whilst VLC is 'playing' a video, in this case H264 mp4, it reports, 
whilst displaying black screen (audio OK):
