yes. I tested this on my RX 6700 XT and the Steam Deck (Vangogh). In the
bug report I linked, a test program using GWS I developed hangs because
of this.

The hang occurs as soon as the kernel re-uses a VMID on which GWS was
already used once. In the hung state, inspecting the per-VMID GWS
registers shows that the values have been reset to 0.
The hang does not occur when gfxoff is disabled.

Even without causing hangs, you can confirm the behaviour by doing the
following:
1. Disable gfxoff.
2. Set some GWS registers.
3. Enable gfxoff and wait a bit.
4. Disable gfxoff and read the registers again. The GWS registers have
been reset.

I performed this test for the GDS_BASE/SIZE registers and it seems these
aren't affected, so it's only GWS that is buggy here.
I should probably make a v2 that combines the behaviour before this
patch for GDS and OA, and the patched behaviour for GWS.

I'm not aware of userspace using GWS (yet, I had some ideas for using it
in RADV which is what I've been writing these tests for),
so perhaps the Cc to stable can also be omitted.

Thanks,
Friedrich
