output corruption

I've seen a regression on linux-stable since this commit (merged on stable between 4.19.2 and 4.19.3)

# first bad commit: [a46a7350b1e85fe78580f6a4c809a876867a9df8] drm/i915: Fix ilk+ watermarks when disabling pipes

I've a gen 7:

Platform: IVYBRIDGE
PCI ID: 0x0166
PCI Revision: 0x09
PCI Subsystem: 17aa:2208

graphic card on a Lenovo T431s, which has "has_gmch_display: no", but apparently it doesn't fully support setting the initial_watermarks().

See screenshot for the output corruption. See git bisect log, and the lspci for the card.

Excluding the call to initial_watermarks() "fixes" the issue:

but the issue is still present.

Please boot with drm.deubug=0xe passed to the kernel cmdline and attach the resulting dmesg.

Also output from intel_watermark (from igt-gpu-tools) when the problem is visible could be helpful.

Thanks. Please see the new information attached.
Comment 6 Ville Syrjala 2019-01-28 19:01:02 UTC
All the numbers look very much correct :/

Does the corruption go away if you start X (or whatever) that enables the hardware cursor? The watermark dumps at least seemed to be w/o the cursor.

I see the BIOS is pretty old. Can you try to update it?

Let's also try to figure out which watermark level is the problem.
Please do these tests with drm-tip because it might not work with an older kernel.

First let's rule out LP3:
# echo '12 4 16 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_pri_wm_latency
# echo '12 4 16 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_wm_latency
$ xset dpms force off ; xset dpms force on
Still corrupted?

Then LP2:
# echo '12 4 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_pri_wm_latency
# echo '12 4 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_wm_latency
$ xset dpms force off ; xset dpms force on
Still corrupted?

And finally LP1:
# echo '12 0 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_pri_wm_latency
# echo '12 0 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_wm_latency
$ xset dpms force off ; xset dpms force on
Still corrupted?

The corruption is present since boot-time, and stays there when the X starts. Sometimes it disappears (e.g., in response to a window/desktop switch), but in a non-deterministic way and the corruption comes back later.

I will try in the next days, but from a first look it seems all updates require Windows (which I've not on this system).

No, the corruption is gone. Switching windows, desktops, focus etc seems to work fine. And it doesn't re-appear after > 10 mins.

Dunno if this is the right one, but some T431s seems to have ISOs available for BIOS update:

Hmm. That machine seems very broken when even LP1 doesn't work.

Umm, I guess there might be a misunderstanding: after setting LP1 with the values you suggested, the corruption is gone and everything seems to be OK as before the regression.

Anyway, I'll also try the BIOS update and post the results (thanks for the pointer, I'll check).

JFTR, I've updated to "DMI: LENOVO 20AA0016GE/20AA0016GE, BIOS GHET41WW (1.26 ) 11/21/2018", same results:
- the monitor starts corrupted
- setting echo '12 0 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_pri_wm_latency ... "fixes" the issue.

Ville, LP1 does work and no corruption noticed. How to proceed further?

[PATCH] drm/i915: Disable LP1+ watermarks on Lenovo Thinkpad T431s

This patch should disable LP1+ watermarks on the affected machine automagically. Please test and also attach the output of intel_watermarks when using the patch so that I can double check that everything looks correct.

I checked out the last drm-tip to apply the patch, but drm-tip doesn't show the problem anymore.

The drm-tip I used:

commit 348fd7b7fa6584957fa6a5143058b3fbb319806b

The commit that seems to fix the issue is:

"drm/i915/fbdev: Actually configure untiled displays"
d179b88deb3bf6fed4991a31fd6f0f2cad21fab5

Reverting it makes the problem appear again.

More info: your patch applied on top of the reverted d179b88deb also fixes the issue.

Comment 15 James Ausmus 2019-04-15 17:36:02 UTC
Marking as fixed based on Andrea's feedback that the issue no longer exists on drm-tip
Comment 16 Andrea 2019-05-04 09:26:11 UTC
In 5.0.11 linux-stable the issue appeared again since the commit that "fixed" it in 5.0.0-rc8 was reverted.

Setting echo '12 0 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_pri_wm_latency still "fixes" the issue.

The patch in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=143441 does not apply cleanly anymore.

The commit that reverted the "fix" is:
commit 3e869fd348565c3bab7a6c61cc4b66c3594e6db2

    Revert "drm/i915/fbdev: Actually configure untiled displays"
    
    commit 9fa246256e09dc30820524401cdbeeaadee94025 upstream.
    
    This reverts commit d179b88deb3bf6fed4991a31fd6f0f2cad21fab5.
    
    This commit is documented to break userspace X.org modesetting driver in certain configurations.
    
    The X.org modesetting userspace driver is broken. No fixes are available yet. In order for this patch to be applied it either needs a config option or a workaround developed.
    
    This has been reported a few times, saying it's a userspace problem is clearly against the regression rules.
Comment 17 Ville Syrjala 2019-05-06 16:34:04 UTC
This thing is super mysterious.

Please grab
intel_reg read 0x70080 0x71080 0x72080 0x70280 0x71280 0x72280
intel_reg dump
intel_watermark

before and after 
3e869fd34856 ("Revert "drm/i915/fbdev: Actually configure untiled displays"")

I see DMAR is also active. Try booting with 'intel_iommu=igfx_off' passed to the kernel cmdline to see if that has any effect.
Comment 18 Andrea 2019-05-08 21:59:55 UTC
Thanks for the help. Attached (2019-05-08*) the requested info before and after 3e869fd34856.
Also attached the same info if I do "echo '12 0 0 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_pri_wm_latency", and with igfx_off.

The issue disappears either:
1) before 3e869fd34856
2) with echo '12 ...'
3) by disabling DMA remapping (i.e., adding intel_iommu=igfx_off)

If it helps, the DMAR output extracted from dmesg:
