            Bug ID: 102646
           Summary: Screen flickering under amdgpu-experimental (buffer
                    corruptions?)
           Product: Mesa
           Version: 17.1
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/Gallium/radeonsi
          Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: katoflip@protonmail.com
        QA Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org

GPU/Stack: R9 390x/amdgpu-experimental/xf86-video-amdgpu/radeonsi
CPU: R7 1700x
Distro/Kernel: Manjaro/4.12.11
Display: ASUS VG248QE 144hz.
Desktop Environment: KDE

Under games and on the desktop(occasionally) there is screen flickering.

Example: https://vid.me/n0t1r (sorry for audio/video, OBS is unable to capture
the flickering)

This happens at every screen frequency that I am capable of achieving
(60-144hz), on HDMI and Display Port. I have tried all sorts of Vsync options,
and the Compton compositor. However, none of those worked. 

Let me know what other information you want.

It also does not happen on XFCE nor lxqt. I tried openbox/KDE and the problem
happened there.

Looks like a display related issue in the kernel driver. Any chance you can try
an amd-staging kernel with DC enabled, to see if it happens with that as well?

I'm curious if you only see this with Stardew Valley? I've seen reports of
people having the same issue with Stardew Valley independent of their graphics
adapter. Seems to be a combination of game and window manager.

Oh, I should also mention that it is not only in games that I see this
flickering. It happens in firefox, and when switching activities in KDE
sometimes.

I tested under other Desktop Environments, and it does appear that the problem
is still there, just not as noticeable as under plasma. I do want to know
though, is there any work I can do that would help someone to debug?

I have tried using a different monitor and also using a DVI cable. Neither of
these mitigated the problem in any way. I also tried setting the resolution of
the monitor to 720p, which interestingly did help the problem quite a bit.
Still did not solve it, unfortunately, but I hope when someone sees this it
will give them a better idea of what they're dealing with.

I figured it out, Since the power profile in dri was set to auto, it keeps
switching between the maximum and minimum clock speeds.

Looks like some guys more familiar with the power profiles should take a peek
at this. Not really familiar with that myself.

Can you post a video of the flickering? The one linked above no longer works. 
Is it like tearing or does the display go blank or unstable image?

Hi, sorry I took so long. I usually check this around once a month. I
reuploaded my gameplay on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPHG8mz4Xc&feature=youtu.be  

This happens in every game, and on the desktop if I don't set my power profile
manually to high. Auto and low exhibit buggy behavior, with low being far worse
than auto.

Hello!

I am having a similar (same?) issue on my RX580 (Asus STRIX TOC).
Seems to be an issue with MCLK switching.


Here is a video of it happening on the desktop:
https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=z28fFqNdjAY
(there is also screen flickering that's not seen on camera, but it doesn't
happen too often in contrary to the horizontal lines)

OBS is unable to campture the glitches though:
https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=iMEnprhBKFQ

Notes: 
1) Most of the time glitches happen when something new gets rendered. 
2) Google Chrome/Chromium always glitch (to a lesser extent when only the start
page is open and nothing changes on the screen, opening Facebook guarantees
glitches).
3) Playing video in VLC doesn't cause any glitches (x264 encoded MKV).
4) It's really easy to reproduce by setting the power profile to low (which
fixes the issue) and then switching to high while looking at the screen. The
glitch will occur for a split second. Switching from high to low also causes
the issue.

Workarounds so far:
1) Recompiling the kernel with "smu7_vblank_too_short" forced to output true
(aka disabling MCLK switching) fixes the problem but locks the MCLK at 2Ghz and
causes coil whine and higher temps.
2) Setting the power profile to anything but "auto".
3) Disabling DC.

It's also worth noting that in my case "low" power profile works fine, but R9
390x users seem to need "high" power profile to fix it (from the
"smu7_vblank_too_short" thread:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96868#c32).

I can test any patches/programs/cases if you need it.

Seems like this is a regression actually. I've managed bisect the commit which
caused the problems.

Last working commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/commit/?h=drm-next-4.15-dc&id=8ee5702afdd48b5864c46418ad310d6a23c8e9ab

Breaking commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/commit/?h=drm-next-4.15-dc&id=b9e56e41e0c55c2b2ab5919c5e167faa4200b083

Keep in mind that you need
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/commit/?h=drm-next-4.15-dc&id=9ba29fcb76a559078491adffc74f66bf92b9dbea
commit to be able to compile the kernel, but judging by the changes the merge
commit was the one that broke it.

Some more details:

1) Disabling/enabling FreeSync doesn't matter
2) Issue happens under Xorg KDE/Wayland Gnome/Xorg GNOME
3) HDMI or DP doesn't matter


I'd try to narrow it down to the exact part of the commit that causes the
issue, but I am having an issue with my Ryzen soft locking thread by thread
until a complete lockup happens when compiling with 16 threads.

That regression commit is the one that introduced the new DC display driver, so
going back to the last working commit will effectively be the same as disabling
DC for you.

Hmm.

I guess I got deceived by `CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC=y` being available in that commit
and logs like `dc_link_detect` and `dc_link_handle_hpd_rx_irq` that didn't show
up before.

Sorry about that!

I have this issue on a 3840x1600 Acer XR382CQK with an RX560 with Kernel
4.18.5-1 on Manjaro. 

When I set the refresh rate to 75Hz, severe artifacts and flickering appear.

Both 

    echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
and

    echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level

stop the flickering and artifacting, and I can see via 

    cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk 

that the memory clocks are set to 1750Mhz and 300Mhz respectively. 

However, if /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level is
set to auto, I can see (via watching /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
with time intervals around 0.1s), that the memory clock oscillates rapidly
between 300Mhz, 625Mhz and 1750Mhz.

So it seems to me that the rapid change in memory frequency is what's causing
the flickering.

Confirmed here on a Polaris 10 GPU (WX7100) on DisplayPort with the latest
kernel master from GIT (4.19+).  The workaround sequence above stops the
irritating flickering.  dc=0 alone does /not/ stop the flickering, and dc=1
yields no displays detected due to some other bug.

I think the "rapid change in memory frequency" really is the problem:
When I 
 echo manual > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
and then 
 echo "0" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
or
  echo "1" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
or
  echo "2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
there is no more flickering. 
(This limits the memory clock to 300Mhz, 1000 or 2000Mhz on my RX580 card.
Using Arch Linux kernel 4.18.16 by the way.)

Whereas 
or
  echo "0 1 2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
or any combination of 2 memory clock frequencies brings flickering back.

The mclk switching needs to happen during the vblank period to avoid the
flickering.  If there is not enough time in the vblank period, you may see
flickering outside of the blanking period.  Can you figure out what modes and
refresh rates exhibit this issue?

The disables mclk switching by forcing the clocks to high.  What modes and

Any resolution at 75hz. My FullHD modelines are:

[   802.898] (II) AMDGPU(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0  148.50  1920 2008 2052
2200  1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync (67.5 kHz eP)
[   802.898] (II) AMDGPU(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0  170.00  1920 1928 1960
2026  1080 1105 1113 1119 +hsync +vsync (83.9 kHz e)

First one is 1080p@60hz (good), second is 1080p@75hz (flickers)

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108322 - Also related. 

When I tested 4.18 kernel the bug used to trigger only @>73hz after
sleep/wakeup. In latest drm-next-4.21-wip triggers as soon as I switch to 75hz.
If I switch back from 75hz to 60hz it keeps flickering until I manually turn my
monitor off/on.

Another interesting info, even with amdgpu.dc=0 I get flickering @75hz.
Difference is the flickering immediatly stops when I switch back to 60hz (no

Still having this issue with 2560 x 1440 @ 75Hz and latest 4.21-wip kernel.
Manually forcing a single VRAM clock state eliminates the flicker artifacts. As
soon as there is dynamic VRAM clocking happening, it flickers.

Lots of strange flickering and black lines with dc=1. Strange ghosting and
screen corruption with dc=0

echo manual > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
echo "0" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk

Fixes the issue.

echo "2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
echo "0" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
echo "2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk

Produces screen corruption for half a second on each change. Across all 3
monitors.

Just to add. I noticed the corruption during the plymouth boot screen too.
After just waking the monitors from DPMS i got corruption until I echo'd 0
again.

OK really sorry for the noise on this ticket. It seems I did this to myself
with featuremask 0xfffffff . All is working without it. (i had been using

I have this issue also without amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff.
amdgpu.dc 0 or 1 doesn't make a difference for me.

A temporary way to at least lock mclck forever would be great until this is
fixed. There is no sane way to do it permanently (some events switch it back to
auto, IE resolution changes and sleep/wake)

I had the chance to test three different GPUs:
RX 560: flickers
RX 580: flickers
RX Vega 56: doesn't flicker (and saves way more power than Polaris at the same
time)

I tried a systemd timer but it floods my dmesg every time it triggers and also
caused weird lag in systemd monitoring, perhaps writing to sysfs constantly has
a noticeable cost. Maybe someone could hack a kernel option to force it to high
as a temporary workaround? Unfortunately I'm ignorant in C.

I can confirm this. For me, it instantly starts flickering after starting x.

Instead of my usual DL-DVI display, I connected a Samsung C27H711 via Display
Port. It officially offers 2560x1440 75Hz and the very same flickering issue
occurs.

I suspect the Polaris Windows driver has the same or a similar issue, as there
is sometimes black flashing when there is heavy VRAM clock jumping going on,
e.g. in games during loading screens or when watching videos with low GPU load
in mpv.

I've written a small script to only write into pp_dpm_mclk when it's not forced
into pstate 2:

#!/bin/bash

if ! cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk |
  grep -xqFe "2: 2250Mhz *"
then
  echo "2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
fi

---

Can be restarted every 1s via systemd:

[Unit]
Description=watch-pp_dpm_mclk
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
ExecStart=.../watch-pp_dpm_mclk.sh
Restart=always
RestartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

---

Seems to do the trick without nasty side effects.

Real fixes for the memory clock change flicker and the not sticking pp_dpm_mclk
value would of course be better.

Still happening on Linux-amd-staging 4.21 unfortunately. Even with
VariableRefresh/Freesync working.

I also noticed it doesn't happen if using dual/multiple screens. Looks like the
vram clock is forced to the highest state in this case. Is this a normal
behavior?

Yes.  Memory reclocking has to happen during the vblank period to avoid
flickering.  If the vblank period is too short or you have multiple monitors
where the vblank periods are not aligned memory cannot be dynamically
reclocked.

--- Comment #66 from Lefteris Chatzimparmpas <lefcha@fastmail.com> ---
While the workaround with power_dpm_force_performance_level/pp_dpm_mclk works
for me, I found another way to stop the flickering, which I mention here in
case it helps debugging.

My monitor has a native resolution of 1920x1200 at 75Hz or 60Hz through DP, and
60Hz through HDMI.  It supports Freesync through DP, but I have that disabled. 
I'm using the 4.19 kernel.

When through a DP cable, if I switch the resolution to 1920x1080 at 60Hz, and
then revert back to the native 1920x1200 at 75Hz, the flickering stops for
good.  If I turn off and on the monitor, everything is still good, but if I
reboot or do a sleep and wakeup of the computer, then the flickering returns,
that is until I switch the resolution again.

Through HDMI, I don't get the flickering on the native resolution, possibly
because I get this max resolution at 60Hz.  But note that through DP, changing
to 60Hz alone doesn't seem to help.

Also, through HDMI, I can make the flickering start, if I switch to 1440x900 at
75Hz, and then it only stops if I switch to 1920x1080 at 60Hz and then back to
native.

Finally, after I got the flickering stop with the resolution switch, I tried
watching the pp_dpm_mclk, and I could see it changing values very fast, similar
to when I had the flickering problem.

Any updates on this? It seems like this bug has been around for quite a while
now.

At this point we need at least a workaround. Add a runtime kernel parameter
that keeps memory clock maxed up always, even after sleep/wake and resolution
changes.

Distro/Kernel: Ubuntu 18.04.2/5.0.2
GPU AMD:       Readon RX570 - Mesa 19.0
Display:       Iiyama G23530HSU  75hz
Desktop:       Gnome

video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNJ2kJ8hsHA

Have the same problem as the op. The problems started with the 4.20 Kernels.
Had not this problem with 4.19 LTS Kernels. The flickering doesn't appear on
wayland if I choose only 60hz. On xorg it is irrelevant how much hz I use, it
flickers regardless. 

sudo -i
echo "manual" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level 
echo "2" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk

Fixes the flickering.

Building on julien tempel's workaround, here's a somewhat more complex script
to manage the memory p-state jumps. It switches between low and high memory
p-states very reluctantly, so minimizing instances of flickering. I'm not a
bash expert so please excuse the clumsy coding, but this works for me.

#!/bin/bash

# Each memory p-state switch causes a screen flicker. Tweak these variables to
match
# your personal 'flicker aversion' vs efficiency trade-off.
CORE_P_STATE_UP=6    # The gpu core p-state at which we should jump up to
memory p-state 2
CORE_P_STATE_DOWN=1  # The gpu core p-state at which we should drop down to low
memory p-state
UP_DELAY=2           # in seconds. How long to stay in low memory p-state
before checking whether we can jump up to 2.
DOWN_DELAY=10        # in seconds. How long to stay in memory p-state 2 before
checking whether we can drop down to low.
SLEEP_INTERVAL=1     # in seconds. How frequently we should poll the core
p-state.

Thanks for the script, it doesn't work 100% of the time but the flickers are
very rare. Good thing about it is that you still save power when idle since it
reclocks back. I'd guess similar logic could be used to fix the driver while
still having the feature working, just reclocking less agressively.

Well, I just accepted to lose 2Hz and use a custom edid with 73Hz instead of
75.

Just a quick update. After switching from HDMI to DisplayPort the issue
resolved itself for me.

That's interesting. It's the opposite for me - only DP flickers, not HDMI.
Lots of people on reddit have been discovering this as they're coming from
older kernels, only this week I've helped 4 different posters asking about it.
We'd like to hear anything from devs at this point so I'll CC this to AMD's DC
dev Nicholas Kazlauskas.

Something I've noticed is that on my system, playing games doesn't flicker
(Bordelands 2 for example) when there's a lot of action/movement.

small change to a comment above:

sudo -i
echo "manual" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level 
echo "2" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk (notice NOT pp_dpm_mclk)

allows my 75hz display to work without flicker at 75hz with RX580. it was
driving me INSANE that i couldnt use my monitors native refresh. have to do
this every reboot, which is annoying, but it works.

Note: using Solus Budgie with kernel 5.0.5-113...ymmv

affected my RX580 until i ran the command i commented above. on my RX580,
locking the sclk fixed flickering on 75hz refresh. yea its running a little
harder just to keep the display from flickering on the desktop but it stays
cool enough im not worried about it

turns out if you just echo "0" for both sclk and mclk it fixes it at 75hz. cant
say for higher refresh rate, but my GPU is running stock now. what a weird
problem to have :/

well...even better solution: install Radeon-Profile

sudo su
cd /usr/bin
radeon-profile

boom...manual control with the radeon-profile GUI...something i've not once
seen mentioned in any tutorials. as long as you know what you're card is
capable of, you can manually set clock percentages and a custom fan curve.

fan curve only stays active as long as radeon-profile is opened as far as i can
tell

I really hope this bug is not just not occurring with Vega because it uses
HBM2, so that we won't see it again with Navi GPUs which probably will use
GDDR5/6.

My solution, well more of a workaround and since I had this problem even with
default MESA that comes packaged with Kernel 5.05.XX, was to retune my monitor
to my GPU instead of letting my GPU try to do it automatically the other way
around or waiting on updated kernel/drivers/firmware/microcode to address this
problem for me.

TL:DR--using xrandr to tell my monitor to stay in step with my GPU.


This fixed it for me, your mileage may vary:

Below is an example of commands in the terminal to activate a new monitor
refresh rate in the "display" settings in Manjaro Linux to tune your monitor to
a precise frequency: in the case of a Radeon (Polaris) RX580 or RX590 and a
75Hz (max) ASUS VG245H HDMI gaming monitor, my target was 73Hz (~-2Hz from
peak) to run with the GPU properly without any horizontal black/green line
flickering.

I chose 73Hz because I already tried tuning to my monitor's closest accurate
refresh rate (74.89Hz) manually off the reported 75Hz and it still flickered,
and the next closest setting for my Monitor was ~73Hz.

Keep in mind, with the below example, your variables need to be pulled from
both the cvt command at the top (with your desired resolution/refresh rate
plugged in after the cvt command) and then plug that "Modeline" part (after the
word Modeline) into the xrandr --newmode command.  

YOUR COMMANDS WILL PROBABLY NEED DIFFERENT VARIABLES.

Then, using xrandr -q find your display type and ID (for me it was HDMI-A-0)
and plug that into your final command along with your desired
resolution/refresh info: example here of 

$ xrandr --verbose --addmode HDMI-A-0 "1920x1080_73.00"

*******END TERMINAL EXAMPLE*********

Doing the above commands, 72.9Hz then showed up in the "display" options (in
panel menu) and selecting it works great with zero flicker.

Now to make it stick after reboot/relog (if it works to your liking):

Make a script file called "custom_refresh" (without quotes, no .sh)...put the
following in it (change yours to fit your proper command outputs from above,
accordingly):

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_73.00"  213.25  1920 2056 2256 2592  1080 1083 1088
1129 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --verbose --addmode HDMI-A-0 1920x1080_73.00
xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --mode 1920x1080_73.00

#[end of commands-don't include this line]


Save this file to your /home/CHANGEMETOYOURUSERNAME/ dir (change
CHANGEMETOYOURUSERNAME to your user name), quit, then make a new file called
"trigger_custom_refresh.sh" (no quotes) and put this in it:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/bin/
xfce4-terminal -e 'bash -c "/home/CHANGEMETOYOURUSERNAME/custom_refresh"'


#[end of commands-don't include this line]

(or use whatever your favorite terminal emulator is instead, does not have to
be xfce4-terminal; don't forget to change the CHANGEMETOYOURUSERNAME to
whatever your user name is, or whatever directory where you saved your
custom_refresh script is properly reflected in the command)

Save, quit.  Cd to where this file is (I just stick both these files in my
/home/ dir and run this command straight from a raw terminal) and in terminal
make it executable:

$ chmod +x ./trigger_custom_refresh.sh


To test it, reboot first (to clear the initial xrandr settings out and go back
to default), then use this command:

$ ./trigger_custom_refresh.sh

Your monitor should flicker as it restarts under the new refresh rate.  If it
worked (you can check either by looking at the monitor display settings or look
at xfce4-display-settings or equivalent), you now have a functional script to
activate your custom refresh rate.

Now to make this auto load with each reboot or relog: add the
trigger_custom_refresh.sh file to startup applications if necessary so it
auto-loads and triggers immediately after session-login.  No sudo required,
it'll load per user session or higher depending on what folder you run it out
of.


****************************

LAST NOTE:  I've found enabling "Tear Free" on my card, an RX590 to be
necessary to remove tearing in Proton+Vulkan games and some other OpenGL games.

TO ENABLE AMD's TEARFREE FEATURE:

How to enable AMD's "Tear Free" option on their AMD Radeon RX 5xx (Polaris)
cards:

Time to mess around with xorg.conf.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU#Xorg_configuration 25

Open a terminal and type the command:

sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf

(or substitute mousepad for whatever basic text editor you like)

Then copy and paste the below text starting with "Section" and ending with
"EndSection" into the text editor.

Section "Device" 
Identifier "AMD" 
Driver "amdgpu" 
Option "TearFree" "true" 
EndSection

Save and quit. This is all presumed that you're using the open source MESA
driver. After that. Reboot your computer. 

Enjoy TearFree

[Bug 102646] Screen flickering under amdgpu-experimental [buggy auto power profile]

[bugzilla-daemon]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1340 bytes --]

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102646

--- Comment #83 from Tom B <tom@r.je> ---
I have a similar problem with my Radeon VII. My testing/experiments are
outlined here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110510 sorry for
the long post!

However my bug seems slightly different albeit related.

1. The flicker only occurs on my HDMI monitor. It's a flicker and sometimes the
screen will go black for a couple of seconds

2. If the HDMI monitor is the only monitor connected I can set the refresh rate
to 59.94 instead of 60.00 and it is fine

3. If the HDMI monitor and a displayport monitor are both connected the flicker
still occurs. However, trying to set the HDMI monitor to 59.94hz causes the
system to freeze and I have to do a hard reset (it's fine if the HDMI monitor
is the only monitor)

4. Setting power_dpm_force_performance_level to high alone does not fix it. But
by running the higher power state I can set the HDMI monitor to 59.94hz without
the system freezing


In short: I need to use 59.94hz to stop the flickering and I need to use high
power state to set the refresh rate without freezing the entire system. 


Although this is an acceptable workaround I would like to see a proper fix.

fixed patch

I fixed the patch and can apply it on top of amd-drm-next and vanilla kernel
5.0.11 (my current kernel). Unfortunately it doesn't help. I added 'verbose
debug' patch too, here is my output.

1) Before applying high memory profile workaround:
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] min_core_set_clock: 30000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] min_mem_set_clock: 30000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] vrefresh: 75
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] min_vblank_time: 464
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] num_display: 2
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] multi_monitor_in_sync: 0
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 0 memory clock = 30000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 0 engine clock = 30000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 1 memory clock = 200000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 1 engine clock = 136600
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry0 frequency = 30000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry0 latency = 330
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry1 frequency = 100000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry1 latency = 330
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry2 frequency = 200000
 kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry2 latency = 330

2) After:
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] min_core_set_clock: 30000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] min_mem_set_clock: 30000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] vrefresh: 75
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] min_vblank_time: 464
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] num_display: 2
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] multi_monitor_in_sync: 0
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 0 memory clock = 200000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 0 engine clock = 30000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 1 memory clock = 200000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] performance level 1 engine clock = 136600
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry0 frequency = 30000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry0 latency = 330
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry1 frequency = 100000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry1 latency = 330
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry2 frequency = 200000
kernel: amdgpu: [powerplay] mclk_latency_table entry2 latency = 330

Just for the reference: screen flickering appears for me only with
amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff. 
I think to flash my card with OC'ed BIOS and disable buggy OverDrive
completely.

GPU/Stack RX 560/amdgpu/linux console
CPU: R7 2700X
Distro/Kernel: LFS/5.1.5

I have been experiencing what appears to be the same issue on any kernel newer
than 4.14 that I’ve tried. I had been running Manjaro 4.14 which works fine,
but I briefly tried LFS and discovered this issue. I’ve tried some different
kernels, but all the ones after 4.14 exhibit the same issue. 

The video shows a single flicker, but the flickers occur fairly regularly when
scrolling.

FINALLY!!! I fixed the issue. A small patch with a fix is in the attachment.
Feel free to suggest a better solution, but it works for me without any issues.

This is probably what some people want, but it forces VRAM into highest state
with amdgpu.dc=1, while it has no effect with amdgpu.dc=0 (still flickers).

Yes, and this is what the kernel code does to prevent flickering. My patch is
only about doing the same thing with PP_OVERDRIVE_MASK enabled.

Patch to fix the problem

TLDR: A script to reproduce and a patch to fix this problem are attached.

The problem occurs when switching between high and low GPU memory frequencies
at specific time intervals. It can be reproduced with the attached script,
which optionally accepts a time parameter, defaulting to 1 ms.
With a 75 Hz display mode, screen corruption occurs rather reliably by using a
time parameter in the following ranges:
0.000-0.002, 0.011-0.015, 0.024-0.028, 0.038-0.042, 0.051-0.055, 0.064-0.068,
0.078-0.082, 0.091-0.095, 0.104-0.108

However, using sleep times between these intervals, e.g. 0.1, does not produce
any screen corruption.
For a frequency of 75 Hz the frame time is T = 1000 / 75 ms = 13.3 ms and the
screen corruption happens for sleep times of:
 S = n * T +- 2 ms
Here n is a natural number, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Linux 4.14 is not affected by this problem, as is noted in comment 93. However,
that version only works by accident: When the display mode is not yet known,
default parameters, in particular 60 Hz, are used to calculate frame_time_x2 as
(1000000 / 60) * 2 / 100 = 333, which is then used to set VBITimeout. Later,
when the refresh rate of 75 Hz is known, frame_time_x2 gets updated to 266, but
VBITimeout is never actually set to that value via smu7_notify_smc_display.

Linux 4.15 included the DC patches, and when using DC (e.g. by using the boot
argument amdgpu.dc=1), VBITimeout is never set to the default 333, but directly
to 266, which triggers the screen corruption and flickering problems described
in this bug.

With Linux 4.17 the problem got more widespread, because the default was
accidentally switched to enable DC by erroneously removing the 'return
amdgpu_dc > 0;' line with:

Linux 4.18 aligns the Non-DC case more closely with the DC case and thus
VBITimeout gets actually set to the updated frame_time_x2 via
smu7_notify_smc_display. Thus the Non-DC case is also affected by this bug
since:

    drm/amdgpu/powerplay: check vrefresh when when changing displays

    Compare the current vrefresh in addition to the number of displays
    when determining whether or not the smu needs updates when changing
    modes. The SMU needs to be updated if the vbi timeout changes due
    to a different refresh rate.  Fixes flickering around mode changes
    in some cases on polaris parts.

    Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>

But that doesn't fix the screen corruption described in this bug, because the
problem is not that VBITimeout isn't updated enough, but rather the opposite,
i.e. that it gets set to the frame_time_x2 value calculated from the correct,
high refresh rate instead of the default value of 333.

At least for 75 Hz, this problem can be fixed by preventing frame_time_x2 and
thus VBITimeout from being smaller than 280, as in the attached patch. Setting
VBITimeout to higher values than the calcualted frame_time_x2 does not seem to
cause any problems.
It would be great if someone could test this patch with higher refresh rates,
as well.

Wow, finally a fix. It seems to work without issues for me now with 2560x1440
75Hz. You're a true hero! =)
Will test some higher refreshrates tomorrow, I can overclock my display to
100Hz or higher (at least in theory, I guess DL-DVI pixelclock limitation will
limit me to something like 82Hz).

Well, people are reporting this patch to be a success. Can you submit this to
be reviewed for merging into the kernel? By the way, I have this issue with the
amdgpu package, not amdgpu-experimental.

The patch fixed the issue for me - Radeon RX 580, 1920x1080@75Hz, connected via
DisplayPort.

That patch solved the issue but memory clock is fixed to maximum
state(1750MHz). Normally it should change dynamically.

That patch only fixes reclocking behaviour with ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff. I
have two 75Hz monitors and flickering only appears when I enable OverDrive. And
memory clock is ALWAYS fixed to maximum state in my case to (surprise) prevent
flickering =).

I suppose also the Windows driver enforces maximum VRAM clock in your case all
the time? If that is true, it would definitely be a cool thing if we could get
a patch into upstream to cover that as well (Ahzo's patch landed in
amd-staging-drm-next branch).

I don't have Windows installed on my machine so I don't know.
Anyway the linux driver enforces VRAM clock because of my two monitors are out
of sync, and memory reclockimg causes flickering (if I understand correctly
what driver's code do). 
My patch fixes a bug that breaks this behavior when OverDrive mask is enabled,
nothing more.

It unfortunately also forces my single display 1440p 75Hz into maximum VRAM
clock.

It's not caused by my patch. Try to disable overdrive mask, revert the patch
and you will see the same behavior.

There is dynamic VRAM clocking enabled by default for 1440p 75Hz also without
overdrive mask. I haven't tested without overdrive mask and with your patch at
the same time, but it should still change clocks regardless.

Windows users are reporting max vram clock if 2 (especially high refresh rate
or different refresh rate) monitors are connected

Can confirm your patch fixed the glitch for me. Also yes, my MCLK is stuck at
the highest level without your patch anyways.

I have 2 monitors at 60hz.
