Created attachment 131178 [details] dmesg for last good commit Using openSuse Tumbleweed on Dell Latitude D830 with GM965 graphics. After kernel upgrade, the system freezes at boot, displays DRM error message on screen. To isolate the error, I switched to vanilla kernel and bisected. Expected result: system boots and shows graphical plymouth-password prompt Result with (bad) vanilla kernel: boot process freezes for about 10 seconds, then resumes and displays password prompt on text console. Comparison of dmesg reveals that the bad kernels have this in the dmesg output: [ 5.859126] usb 7-1.2: Manufacturer: O2 [ 15.120085] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_commit_cleanup_done [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:26:pipe A] flip_done timed out [ 15.120095] [drm:drm_atomic_state_default_clear] Clearing atomic state ffff88007891a800 [ 15.120104] [drm:drm_atomic_state_free] Freeing atomic state ffff88007891a800 First bad commit: commit faf68d925671a0f7c105fb122db2a82b25030abc Author: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Date: Tue Jun 14 14:24:20 2016 +0200 Reapply "drm/i915: Pass atomic states to fbc update, functions." The patch was reverted as part of the original nonblocking commit support, but is required for any kind of nonblocking commit. This is required to let fbc updates run async. It has a lot of checks whether certain locks are taken, which can be removed when the relevant states are passed in as pointers.

Can you try the patch on 4.12? It would be interesting to know if it's the same bug. I have not tested 4.13, but this patch fixes the flip_done timeout on 4.12 for me.

Symptoms: It seems that the X11/KDE is starting fine, but on virtual terminal vt7, there is only the boot-graphics shown. Mouse pointer is displayed and follows mouse movements. Sometimes, by switching between vt1,vt2, vt3,vt4,vt5,vt6 and vt7 I get access to my proper desktop (which has been running somewhere in the background). Could it be that X11 draws into one buffer, but the patched display driver displays anouther buffer?
Can you boot with enable.fbc=0?
ping?
Yes, still listening. I will have access to my laptop after 19.12.2017 only.
Created attachment 136351 [details] dmesg patched 4.12 kernel, booting with enable.fbc=0
Booting with enable.fbc=0 fixes part of the problem: the systems boots into the correct console, BUT the system is unusable: KDE/X does not start properly. Sometimes, the window manger is not working (windows are restored from previous session, but window title bar is missing, windows cannot be resized/moved), sometimes, the transition from the boot/startup animation (here: the opensuse lightbulb) to the real desktop background does not happen.
Can you also try with i915.fbc=0 and the workaround from: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93782#c65 ?
Said workaround solves some of the problems. booting with video=SVIDEO-1:d i915.fbc=0 does not display any errors when booting, X11 / KDE plasma 5 seems to start normally, but the KDE taskbar is not present. I use KDE with the "restore session" option, this gives me at least a terminal window to work with. When booting with an old 4.4 kernel, everything is back to normal, so the problem seems not to be linked to the saved KDE session information. So, the workaround helps, but the result is still a system that is unusable. dmesg output is attached.

First of all. Sorry about spam. This is mass update for our bugs. Sorry if you feel this annoying but with this trying to understand if bug still valid or not. If bug investigation still in progress, please ignore this and I apologize! If you think this is not anymore valid, please comment to the bug that can be closed. If you haven't tested with our latest pre-upstream tree(drm-tip), can you do that also to see if issue is valid there still and if you cannot see issue there, please comment to the bug.
bug is still valid
Marteen, any idea on how to proceed?
Hi Maarten, Do you have any udpates?
The TV vblank timeouts are bug #93782, but I can't quite figure out what other problems have been reported here so not sure if we want to mark this as a duplicate. Lots of talk about fbc in earlier comments which doesn't make sense considering we don't enable fbc on these platforms by default.
No updates in a while. I'll just mark this as a dupe of 93782 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 93782 ***
