AMDGPU Driver Gains Expanded Pipe Reset Support for Compute Hang Recovery

A set of 42 patches were posted earlier today for the AMDGPU kernel driver and its associated AMDKFD compute driver code. These patches introduce expanded pipe reset capabilities specifically for compute workloads, aimed at improving system stability. The new functionality enables the driver to recover from a wider range of GPU compute hangs, mitigating scenarios where a hung GPU would otherwise require a full system reboot or result in unresponsive applications. This enhancement is crucial for users running demanding GPU compute applications on Linux.
