    Is 5.8 planned for another point release or are you guys thinking it could be a drop-in during the 6.9.0RC?  Not sure if .0 is planned to go stable before Aug/Sept.

    If it is that far out then some time before the 5.8 kernel is included into Unraid, I would think adding the patches that prevent a Unraid system crash to the 5.7 kernel would be a really good thing. I wasn’t aware of the issue or workaround until creating and starting the vm and experiencing the crash which I am sure is and will be the case with many current and future Unraid users.

    Took a while but found the patches submitted upstream for kernel 5.8:

     

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?id=0d14f06cd6657ba3446a5eb780672da487b068e7

    and

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?id=5727043c73fdfe04597971b5f3f4850d879c1f4f

     

    These patches will not work against 5.7 (or earlier) kernels as-is because the file they patch has several other changes.

     

    However I see what they're doing and adding this to our 5.7 kernel is pretty easy BUT how crucial is it add this now?  Meaning, from your forum link people have added several other patches besides this set - have to say, not much time to analyze all those as well.  If this set of patches by itself will be useful to a alot of folks we can do it, otherwise I'd say wait until 5.8 kernel is released.

     

    I appreciate you looking into it so quickly (really wow), it looks like that first reddit post I linked was updated just today to reflect those upstream changes to 5.8. I personally work around it currently by passing through a usb headset to the VM for sound because I didn't feel comfortable running a custom kernel even though it looks like many have with success. It isn't ideal but it works. I am sure there are a lot of people who would find these patches useful with the popularity of the new Ryzen processors and X570 motherboards. Thank you for your time.

  3. Is the AMD onboard audio/usb controller flr patch included in this beta for x570 motherboards? Will it be included in a future beta if it isn't? Currently, if on board audio is passed through to a VM on 6.8.3 w/ a non patched kernel Unraid will experience a full system crash.
