dmesg Linux 3.8.11 nouveau optimus before the kernel crash

I'm using Lenovo T430 laptop with intel+nvidia hybrid graphics, optimus is enabled in BIOS:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [Quadro NVS 5400M] (rev a1)

$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.8.11-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 1 19:44:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I boot up the system with only laptop internal LVDS active on intel gpu, and when in X session, I enable the second display on nouveau gpu connected to the dock DP2/DVI connector. 
At this point the kernel crashes immediately.

Screenshots of the kernel crash/stacktrace here:

Kernel dmesg from before the crash attached.
I also tried with Linux kernel 3.9.2 and there the system crashes hard aswell.

Would be nice to see the output of

gdb /lib/modules/..../nvidia.ko

disassemble nvc0_vm_map_sg

Looks like there's a null deref in there (CR2 = 0). Although I think that optimus mode isn't supposed to be well-supported right now. But we still shouldn't be oopsing the kernel.

Ok, here goes:

Comment 6 Ilia Mirkin 2013-05-19 21:42:34 UTC
Well, +0x8e is +142, and we see

   0x0000000000023bae <+142>:	mov    (%rcx,%r13,1),%rax
   0x0000000000023bb2 <+146>:	shr    $0x8,%rax
   0x0000000000023bb6 <+150>:	mov    %rax,%rdx
   0x0000000000023bb9 <+153>:	or     $0x3,%rax
   0x0000000000023bbd <+157>:	or     $0x1,%rdx

which I'm fairly sure corresponds to

		u64 phys = nvc0_vm_addr(vma, *list++, memtype, target);

Since

static inline u64
nvc0_vm_addr(struct nouveau_vma *vma, u64 phys, u32 memtype, u32 target)
{
	phys >>= 8;
	phys |= 0x00000001; /* present */
	if (vma->access & NV_MEM_ACCESS_SYS)
		phys |= 0x00000002;

(And for some reason it splits the two branches into two separate registers... odd, but nothing else in the code matches up as nicely.)

So that means that the passed in list pointer must be null. This corresponds to

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c:nouveau_vma_getmap which passes in mem->mm_node as the mem argument to vm_map_sg, which in turn does mem->pages.

So perhaps add something to the top of nouveau_vma_getmap (before the vm_get call) like

if (WARN_ON(!node->pages)) {
  return -EINVAL;
}

Which should help avoid the crash, but will not provide any additional functionality. You should then see a backtrace, but no crash.
Comment 7 Ilia Mirkin 2013-05-19 21:44:30 UTC
Actually, that should probably be WARN_ON(mem->mem_type != TTM_PL_VRAM && !node->pages) otherwise you'll get a lot of spurious warns/failures.
Comment 8 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-07-18 20:36:02 UTC
I tested the most recent Fedora 18 kernel update (3.9.9-201.fc18.x86_64), and the bug is still there. I enabled Optimus in the BIOS, booted to Linux, tried to enable nouveau DVI output, and the kernel crashed immediately.

Then I built a custom kernel based on 3.9.9-201.fc18.x86_64 with the attached patch included (as suggested above), and booted with that. Now there's a problem.. nouveau outputs are not detected, and cannot be enabled, so I don't know if the patch fixes or works around the problem. At least it breaks something :) 

There are no obvious nouveau related errors in the dmesg.. attached aswell.

Comment 11 Ilia Mirkin 2013-07-18 20:53:57 UTC
That last dmesg looks fine... what's the problem? (It seems unlikely that merely adding a WARN_ON that never fires would fix things, points to a compiler issue? Or a different config/compilation mechanism/??)

You now have an intel and nvidia devices. I think it starts out with the intel device, you can use the regular vga_switcheroo mechanisms to switch to the nvidia device. Some docs about it are available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics. If you're aware of all that, can you be more specific as to what you're doing and what exactly doesn't work?
Comment 12 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-07-18 21:04:49 UTC
Ok, sorry for not explaining properly. 

With the stock fedora 3.9.9-201 kernel the nouveau dvi outputs are detected OK, so in the Mate desktop display properties application I can see the external monitor that is connected with DVI, and I can choose to enable it, which causes the kernel crash. 

Now with the custom 3.9.9-201.dbg01 kernel that I built, which only has the warn_on patch added on top of the stock kernel, the nouveau outputs are *not* detected at all, so I can't see the DVI monitor on the display properties application, and I can't enable the DVI monitor.. 

I tried rebooting the laptop multiple times, and the behaviour stays the same. 

Maybe I should play with xrandr aswell. And probably rebuild a new kernel, with that patch removed and see if it really causes the issue.. 

Thanks for your reply!
Comment 13 Ilia Mirkin 2013-07-18 21:15:08 UTC
Outputs certainly *appear* to be detected. What makes you say they're not?

I assume you have a 1920x1080 screen hooked up to the DVI?

You can look at the KMS status in /sys/class/drm/ -- you should see cardN-DVI-I-N  directories. xrandr should also provide accurate status, e.g.:

$ grep . /sys/class/drm/card*-*/status 
/sys/class/drm/card0-DVI-I-1/status:connected
/sys/class/drm/card0-DVI-I-2/status:disconnected

However it may end up being hidden due to vgaswitcheroo -- so make sure to look into that too. (Unfortunately I know next to nothing about vgaswitcheroo, but I'm sure Google knows more.)
Comment 14 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-07-19 12:52:12 UTC
Ok, after a lot of reboots and trying different kernels I realized the issue is not related to the warn_on patch I added. The difference is caused by the fact that if I boot with DVI monitor connected before powering on the system, or not.

So what happens is:

1) I boot to Linux with DVI monitor connected to nouveau before powering on the system. This is how it looks then:

$ grep . /sys/class/drm/card*-*/status
/sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/status:connected
/sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-DP-1/status:disconnected

/sys/class/drm/card1-DP-3/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-2/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-VGA-2/status:disconnected

DP-2 is the external DVI monitor. So it's listed as "connected", but xrandr doesn't see it:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 309mm x 174mm
   1600x900       60.0*+   40.0  
   1024x768       60.0  
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        59.9  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


Nothing about the nouveau adapter in xrandr output.. 


2) I boot to Linux with DVI monitor NOT connected to nouveau. I connect the DVI cable after the system has booted to Xorg. This is how it looks then:

$ grep . /sys/class/drm/card*-*/status
/sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/status:connected
/sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-DP-1/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-DP-2/status:connected
/sys/class/drm/card1-DP-3/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-LVDS-2/status:disconnected
/sys/class/drm/card1-VGA-2/status:disconnected

So again DP-2 is shown as connected to the DVI monitor, which is true. 

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192

And now xrandr can see the DVI monitor aswell. So when I plug-in the DVI cable on-the-fly to nouveau adapter, then the external display is actually detected, and can be enabled and used (with artifacts/corruption, but that is a separate bug ;) 

So 'xrandr' shows the same problem as I described earlier with the Mate desktop display-properties GUI application. When the laptop is booted with DVI cable plugged in from the start, the mate-display-properties GUI doesn't allow me to enable the DVI monitor - so the behaviour matches xrandr. I assume mate-display-properties internally uses xrandr. 

But this sounds like an another bug really..
Comment 15 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-07-19 14:23:31 UTC
xrandr not working if booted with DVI cable connected doesn't seem to be the case *always*.. it's seems to be a bit random. one boot out of 10, or so, I'm able to see the nouveau connectors on xrandr, so I'm able to try to enable them, and thus hit the warn_on in the patch I added to the kernel. So here goes:

Comment 17 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-07-19 14:30:02 UTC
Oh, one more interesting piece of information.. 

If I boot (power-on) the laptop *without* DVI cable connected, the nouveau connectors will show up in 'xrandr' output as DP-1, DP-2 and DP-3. 

Now If i boot (power-on) the laptop *with* DVI cable connected, the nouveau connectors will *NOT* show up in 'xrandr' most of the times, but during that maybe one time out of ten when they do show up in 'xrandr', they're actually called DisplayPort-0, DisplayPort-1 and DisplayPort-2. 

I wonder why that difference.. and if it's related to the issue I'm having or not. I'm only able to hit the nouveau kernel crash when the connectors are called DisplayPort-X, it seems. When the connectors are called DP-X, I'm not able to crash the kernel.
Comment 18 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-07-21 10:13:56 UTC
I think I'll open a separate bug about the non-consistent/random output detection for xrandr and changing connector names. 

So let's focus on the kernel crash and troubleshooting that in this bug. 
Any comments about the WARNING traceback I posted?
Comment 19 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-08-13 18:23:20 UTC
Ok separate bug opened:

"nouveau inconsistent changing output connector names in xrandr":
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68075

So let's focus on the kernel crash on this bug.
I just verified the same kernel crash also happens on Linux 3.10.4.
Comment 20 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-08-13 20:32:50 UTC
I built custom Linux 3.10.6 kernel with the patch from this bug's attachments (linux-3.9.9-gpu-drm-nouveau-warn-on-node-pages.patch) applied to add WARN_ON() to nouveau_vma_getmap() and I'm still hitting the same issue when enabling an output on nouveau gpu, which would lead to a hard kernel crash without the patch:

Comment 21 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-08-21 16:56:19 UTC
Any comments about this issue? 

The patch (linux-3.9.9-gpu-drm-nouveau-warn-on-node-pages.patch) from comment #9 fixes the reproducible hard kernel crash for me.. should we push this to Linux, or should we dig deeper about why nouveau_vma_getmap() is called with wrong arguments resulting in null pointer crash?
Comment 22 Ilia Mirkin 2013-08-21 17:03:59 UTC
We should figure out why it's getting stuff that it doesn't expect. I had suggested adding the warn solely to avoid the crash down the line. I guess it's reasonable for the upstream kernel to have that, as if it ever fires, we're going to be in trouble later... I think. Will have to re-check the code. I can post it with my analysis if you like, or you can.

Could you retest this with 3.11-rc6 BTW? The whole fb pinning/etc logic was reworked, and your issue may have been fixed by it.
Comment 23 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-08-21 17:07:27 UTC
Feel free to post it with your analysis! You can add my reported-by and tested-by. 

I'm able to reproduce the crash with Linux 3.8.x, 3.9.x and 3.10.x, so the patch is needed at least on the 3.10.x stable branch to fix the crash there.

I'll also test with 3.11-rc.
Comment 24 Pasi Kärkkäinen 2013-10-01 16:34:25 UTC
Some comments here.. this bug is still being discussed on the mailing lists, and Ben Skeggs said he'll take a look at the kernel side fixes soon.

Also good to know: I'm able to reliably reproduce this kernel crash with Fedora 18 userspace/xorg, but not with Fedora 19 userspace/xorg.

FWIW, my patch, which was deemed inappropriate for inclusion: http://marc.info/?l=dri-devel&m=137713025702333&w=2

Later in the thread, another patch was proposed: http://marc.info/?l=dri-devel&m=137715564208095&w=2

However I don't think it has made it upstream yet as Ben had some concerns.

the latest patch mentioned on lkml thread only changes hard system locks
into soft locks for kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64. the suspend/resume cycles
works pretty stable for rawhide kernel-3.13.0-0.rc7.git0.2.fc21.x86_64.

afaics, the 3.13 kernel contains some acpi/pm fixes in the nouveau area.
