I recently did a full system update on my PC (Ryzen 5 7600X, Radeon RX 9070 XT, running CachyOS), and afterwards, GPU WUs would always fail a few seconds after starting.
This is the WU log of a failed WU:

What should I do to solve this problem?

Re: GPU WUs are failing
Going by your previous thread
Do you still have opencl-mesa installed? did it it get upgraded? Did it recreate etc/OpenCL/vendors/rusticl.icd?

Re: GPU WUs are failing
Removing opencl-mesa indeed removes rusticl, which then allows installing rocm-opencl-runtime and rocm-hip-runtime, and ocl-icd takes over
