** Description changed: [ Impact ] The Intel media driver needs a version update to fully support Battlemage in 24.4.4, and the required gmmlib version is 22.5.5. Ideally, this will get pulled back to Noble, this version bump should be backported to oracular before we file an SRU exception for HWE purposes. PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mckeesh/+archive/ubuntu/lp2098413 [ Test Plan ] * Intel performs extensive validation for the media stack internally before releasing. - * Canonical's Intel squad performs basic testing on successful media - driver initialization (vainfo) as well as testing hardware encode/decode - on H264, VP9, and AV1 at 1080p and 4K. Intel generations tested: Lunar - Lake, Alder Lake, Tiger Lake + * Canonical's Intel squad (in this case, me) performs basic testing on + successful media driver initialization (vainfo) as well as testing + hardware encode/decode on H264, VP9, and AV1 at 1080p and 4K. + + The media driver supports the following platforms: + * BDW (Broadwell) + * SKL (Skylake) + * BXTx (BXT: Broxton, APL: Apollo Lake, GLK: Gemini Lake) + * KBLx (KBL: Kaby Lake, CFL: Coffee Lake, WHL: Whiskey Lake, CML: Comet Lake, AML: Amber Lake) + * ICL (Ice Lake) + * JSL (Jasper Lake) / EHL (Elkhart Lake) + * TGLx (TGL: Tiger Lake, RKL: Rocket Lake, ADL-S/P/N: Alder Lake, RPL-S/P: Raptor Lake) + * DG1/SG1 + * Alchemist(DG2)/ATSM + * MTLx (MTL: Meteor Lake, ARL-S/H: Arrow Lake) + * LNL (Lunar Lake) + * BMG (Battlemage) + + + Intel tests for regressions on supported hardware prior to releasing a new version, but we have tested the versions in the PPA on the following Intel generations: + * Battlemage + * Lunar Lake + * Raptor Lake + * Alder Lake + * Tiger Lake + + Once the new versions land in proposed, we will re-test on those + platforms with the official package versions. [ Where problems could occur ] * Issues can occur if media driver component versions mismatch. In this case, we should have gmmlib at 22.5.5, libva at 2.22.0, and the media driver (free and non-free) at 24.4.4 (LP: #2098420). * If there is any critical bug in the media stack, there could be a fallback to software encode/decode, which is slower and more resource- intensive. [ Other Info ] This is dependent on the SRU request in LP: #2098420. These changes must land together to avoid compatibility issues
