There seems to be a summary here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/2272#note_1330210

It seems to affect Intel HDA sound cards which don't have IOMMU support. I have no estimate how many systems that means in the real world.

FinalFE +1

And potentially a blocker due to our Sound criterion, but an advice from kernel folks on how many systems are affected would be very helpful here. Ping @jforbes

FWIW, Intel HDA sound cards are PROBABLY the most widely-deployed cards in the world.

That said, it's not as if sound doesn't work at all. Occasional glitches are annoying, but fixable in an update. I'd prefer not to pull in a new kernel at this point. That just introduces way too much risk.

@sgallagh This doesn't sound like an "occasional glitch". From this ticket:

when playing a video on youtube with Google Chrome, if you pause it for a minute or more, then after unpausing it will keep loading indefinitely. Sometimes restarting Chrome fixes this, but right now I can't even make it work by restarting Chrome.

Of course this is not related just to Chrome but anything playing sounds.

FinalFE +1
FinalBlocker -1

although I also agree with @sgallagh that it is a risky operation.

@sgallagh @lruzicka We already have accepted FE that implies pulling at least rebuilt kernel into F36: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2074157

It depends if the fix will be entirely new kernel version or just backported patch though.

Anyhow, we can decide not to pull even with:

FinalFE +1
AGREED AcceptedFinalFE

FinalBlocker -1
AGREED RejectedFinalBlocker
