**💻📰 I helped fix sleep-wake hangs on Linux with AMD GPUs**
A user experienced recurring system crashes on their Arch Linux system when attempting to suspend their computer, particularly with high RAM usage. These crashes, linked to an AMD RX 570 GPU and amdgpu driver issues, manifested as black screens or unresponsive states requiring a hard reset or magic SysRq key combinations. The problem was debugged throughout 2023, starting in September. The user's system included a Gigabyte B550M DS3H motherboard, a Kingston A2000 NVMe SSD, and utilized systemd-boot. Debugging involved examining system logs using `journalctl`.
The root cause was identified as a bug in the amdgpu driver's power and memory management. A solution was developed and integrated into the agd5f/linux repository. This fix is expected to be included in the stable kernel 6.14 release.
