Bug 106185

Have you tried with latest drm-tip: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-tip and please send dmesg from boot using drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=4M

Yes, the system hang is apparently fixed by:

    drm/i915/cnl: Use mmio access to context status buffer


but I was told the remaining GPU hang was reproduced by your devs, so I'm now waiting for fixes.

    drm/i915/execlists: Use rmb() to order CSB reads
    
    We assume that the CSB is written using the normal ringbuffer
    coherency protocols, as outlined in kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:
    
        *   (HW)                              (DRIVER)
        *
        *   if (LOAD ->data_tail) {            LOAD ->data_head
        *                      (A)             smp_rmb()       (C)
        *      STORE $data                     LOAD $data
        *      smp_wmb()       (B)             smp_mb()        (D)
        *      STORE ->data_head               STORE ->data_tail
        *   }
    
    So we assume that the HW fulfils its ordering requirements (B), and so
    we should use a complimentary rmb (C) to ensure that our read of its
    WRITE pointer is completed before we start accessing the data.
    
    The final mb (D) is implied by the uncached mmio we perform to inform
    the HW of our READ pointer.

Timo, does this change help any?

> Timo, does this change help any?

The GPU hang reported isn't actually anything to do with the aforementioned patches. It is uncertain whether it is a missing w/a in the kernel or mesa.

For the record, who? We can ask them for a status update...

bah, the patch from #3 certainly helped but seems it's not enough after all.. I can still hang the machine but it takes longer now

oh well, now with dinq (and not 4.15+backports) it doesn't hard hang anymore, so my backport is somewhat incomplete even with 77dfedb5b added.

GPU hangs/widget corruption happen still, though.

Do you have an updated log for the GPU hang/widget corruption?

Created attachment 139900 [details]
dmesg with dinq

dmesg dump attached

it's easy to reproduce; open gnome-control-center, click through the left side config panel until graphics start to get corrupt, then after a while there will be a GPU hang and possibly an xserver crash
 
and apparently after logging back in, saving the logfile to a usb-stick and letting it idle for a while the machine hung hard again.. so that's not fixed either :/

To get some more attention from the people in the know...
