This last pull request includes SMU 15 IP updates, Display Core (DC) stream validation refactoring, a performance regression fix for the classic Radeon DRM driver, GFX6 soft reset recovery rework (contributed by Valve's Timur Kristóf), initial DCN 6.0.0 support, VRR and FRL fixes, more display KUnit tests, and a wide range of other fixes across AMDGPU, AMDKFD, and Radeon components. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What AMDGPU driver changes are included in the final patch batch before the Linux 7.3 merge window? The final AMDGPU/AMDKFD/Radeon batch ahead of Linux 7.3 includes SMU 15 IP updates, a Display Core stream validation refactor, initial DCN 6.0.0 support, JPEG queue reset fixes, GMC 12.1 fixes, a lockdep false positive fix, userq and bounds checking fixes, RAS updates, and a GFX6 soft reset rework from Valve's Timur Kristóf targeting early GCN hardware. _Kernel graphics developers track upcoming AMDGPU merge window changes like these on daily.dev._ ### Is there a performance regression fix for the classic Radeon DRM driver in Linux 7.3? Yes, the classic Radeon DRM driver (used for older, pre-GCN AMD GPUs) receives a performance regression fix as part of the last batch of patches submitted ahead of the Linux 7.3 merge window, alongside the newer AMDGPU driver updates in the same pull request. _Maintainers of legacy AMD GPU support follow driver regression fixes like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AMD Preps More Graphics Driver Improvements For Linux 7.3](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-preps-more-graphics-driver-improvements-for-linux-7-3-lpdj6ghad) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD Sends In A Variety Of Graphics Driver Fixes Ahead Of Linux 7.0 Cycle](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-sends-in-a-variety-of-graphics-driver-fixes-ahead-of-linux-7-0-cycle-cxhdtp9rh) · Phoronix · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD Submits More Graphics Driver Changes For Linux 7.2](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-submits-more-graphics-driver-changes-for-linux-7-2-hhrhunzn5) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD Begins Staging Graphics Driver Changes For Linux 7.3](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-begins-staging-graphics-driver-changes-for-linux-7-3-wi1yweloi) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#gpu](https://daily.dev/tags/gpu), [#amd](https://daily.dev/tags/amd) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-squeezes-in-a-few-more-graphics-driver-updates-for-linux-7-3-kzji7kwgm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"AMD Squeezes In A Few More Graphics Driver Updates For Linux 7.3","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-squeezes-in-a-few-more-graphics-driver-updates-for-linux-7-3-kzji7kwgm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-squeezes-in-a-few-more-graphics-driver-updates-for-linux-7-3-kzji7kwgm"},"datePublished":"2026-08-07T00:47:22.282Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:41:25.912Z","description":"AMD has submitted its final planned feature updates for the Linux 7.3 kernel ahead of the merge window opening in the second half of August.
