My ryzen box suddenly started feeling sluggish after kernelupgrade to 4.16.0. This is persisting with 4.16.1, but does not happen with 4.15 kernel. Where can this come from? Symptoms are that the mouse is lagging behind if moved fast and also that screen is flickering from time to time.

The flickering is probably this problem, I have it as well.

Maybe, I tried with 4.16.2 which I compiled now. Still persisting. Though in the link you mentioned, they say its fixed, so I will revert back to 4.15 and see if one of next 4.16 releases fix it. Thanks for your information :)

It was not fixed in 4.16.2 sources, the commit that caused it was just reverted, so maybe 4.16.3.

Some additional information.

You need to revert torvalds/linux@cd2d6c9 and torvalds/linux@36cc549.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/cd2d6c92a8e39d7e50a5af9fcc67d07e6a89e91d

and

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/36cc549d59864b7161f0e23d710c1c4d1b9cf022

respectively.

I emerged 4.16.3 but did not revert those patches yet, that were mentioned by thumper. Still the same.
