Phoronix: AMD Prepares More Next-Gen GPU Driver Support For Linux 6.10

AMD on Saturday submitted a big batch of AMDGPU and AMDKFD kernel graphics driver feature patches ahead of the upcoming Linux 6.10 kernel cycle...

Intel seems to be pushing hard for consumer grade SRIOV in 6.9
is AMD joining the party with SRIOV with consumer hardware for 6.10? What's the SRIOV fox they are doing?

Highly sought after by cloud providers that want to sell GPU compute to their customers better?

GPU reset improvements. Most welcome.

We need a dictionary for all the abbreviations. Seriously.

> BACO/BOCO/BAMACO
I remeber BACO (as ZeroCore) as Bus active, chip off powersaving mode, so a controller listenes at the PCIe bus if the GPU is needed, the actual chip is power-gated and sleeping (e.g. your screen-DPMS-off after 4 minutes of inactivity).
But BOCO? Is that Bus off, chip off? But how to wake up these? And BAMACO, bus active, M = ??? and chip off, memory maybe?)

Does anyone know of a good dictionary for these quickly upcoming abbreviations?

BACO - Bus Active, Chip Off. The chip is off, but the bus interface stays up so that the device stays on the PCI bus.
BOCO - Bus Off, Chip Off. This requires platform support (ACPI), but both the chip and the bus interface are turned off. The entire device disappears from the bus, because it's powered down completely.
BAMACO - Bus Active, Memory Active, Chip Off. Same as BACO, but VRAM is also kept powered on. This uses more power than BACO, but has lower suspend/resume latency because there is no need evict VRAM when powering down the GPU.
