Linux + AMD Ryzen processor encounters strange bug: connecting FireWire devices will cause the system to restart

According to news from this site on January 7, according to Linus Torvalds, the official version of Linux 6.7 is planned to be released on January 7, local time. If nothing else, you will see the specific content later today.

Phoronix has discovered that Linux 6.7 has just incorporated a special fix aimed at solving unexpected system reboots that may be encountered on AMD Ryzen platforms when using FireWire devices.

Note from this site: FireWire, literally translated as "FireWire" in Chinese, is a high-speed peripheral device connection system led by Apple and has been used since 1999 For products such as Apple computers (for example, the iPod only had a FireWire interface before the third generation product was released in 2003), it was later unified into the IEEE-1394 external serial bus standard (but the names of Apple Firewire and Sony iLink were also retained).

Although FireWire is quite old, it still played an irreplaceable role in the decade before the advent of USB, although it failed to achieve popularity outside the audio and video market until the end (Jobs announced in 2008 Firewire is dead, and was later replaced by the Thunderbolt interface released in 2011, and then the USB-C interface that is now common), but there are still many people who miss that era.

Perhaps because of these nostalgic people, the Linux kernel currently has an IEEE-1394 subsystem maintainer (Takashi Sakamoto), and he plans to maintain FireWire support on Linux until 2029 .
