There is a suspend-resume bug in Fedora:
modeset(0): failed to set mode: No such file or directory | modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1662057

The suspend-resume bug happens only sometimes.  But a very similar bug happens just with always-reproducible ctrl-alt-f2 + alt-f1 (switch to text console and back) so I am trying to debug that one first.

The problem happens in kernel DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ATOMIC, expecting i915.ko.
It is called by libdrm drmModeAtomicCommit().
kernel returns -22=EINVAL=Invalid argument

If one clears the error (the patch does this) X server no longer crashes but the display remains black.

Tried these Fedora kernels but they all behave the same:
FAIL kernel-4.20.8-200.fc29.x86_64
FAIL kernel-5.0.0-0.rc6.git1.1.fc30.x86_64
FAIL kernel-4.18.18-200.fc28.x86_64
Tried drm-tip kernel but it did hang when it should ask for LUKS password on my system.  So I could not test drm-tip.  It was built by kernel.spec as vanilla from:
  https://github.com/freedesktop/drm-tip.git
  7f6ace5f10a9d6c5d277b95e39f862eff87fdb45 = drm-tip

In Xorg.0.log the crash (due to libdrm error) is shown as:

Comment 5 Lakshmi 2019-02-19 07:40:01 UTC
Jan, correct if I misunderstood the issue.

switching to text console and back (using ctrl-alt-f2 and ctrl-alt-f1) crashes X server.
But, after applying the attached patch libdrm debug patch (+errors suppression), you noticed that X server didn't crash but display remains black.

Jan replied back saying "Yes, right." to the above question.
Comment 7 martin+foss 2019-04-10 12:37:32 UTC
I have similar issues. I have seen the same log entry with modeset 0 when switching to vt.

Sometimes the screens doesnt come up after sleep.

And sometimes the computer goes slow and then almost freezes, down to the point the keyboard doesn't respond, but mouse reacts sometimes.

It is on two different older intel laptops. 

Most issues is with the one connected in a docking station, which was the one I saw this error for.

It isn't new, but it has been better or worse.

> Most issues is with the one connected in a docking station,

I have found the problem may be in the Thuderbold 3 Lenovo docking station itself.  As even after powercycling the laptop (X1 Carbon) it still did not work until I powercycled the docking station.

Maybe because I still have the original firmware 1.0 as I failed to upgrade it to 2.0 as it is Windows-only (and the firmware upgrade even failed in Windows I installed for it) - they have some new firmware upgrade tool now but it is again only for Windows:

Comment 9 Richard Feiler 2019-05-14 22:07:12 UTC
I have the same problem on my T420 with Intel IGP. I noticed this only when I'm hooked on external monitor via displayport (I do not have docking station)

xorg-x11-server-1.20.4-1.fc29 patch

xorg-x11-server-1.20.4-1.fc29 patch although it is equivalent to what the libdrm patch 143401 does - ignore any errors from drmModeAtomicCommit().

I can confirm it is unrelated to docking station.  When I removed the docking station (connected to LG 27UK650 (Xorg.log id "LG HDR 4K") by DisplayPort) and connected the display directly to Lenovo X1 Carbon HDMI port it did behaved the same.

Besides ctrl-alt-Fx switching consoles the problem also happens after DPMS Off (xlock -dpmsoff), I have changed it now to DPMS Suspend (xlock -dpmssuspend) and it looks as the locked up display does not happen anymore.

With this patch screen remains black and one can recover it by disconnecting and reconnected the display (after resuming from DPMS Off); the same can be done by disconnecting+reconnecting the docking station (or powercycling the docking station).

I have also updated main BIOS of Lenovo X1 Carbon to 1.38 now, no effect (it even appears to me it happens more often than with 1.34 before).

Thanks for the feedback. Would you mind if I close this issue?
Comment 15 Jan Kratochvil 2019-06-17 06:33:52 UTC
So it is not a bug in the userland Intel driver but isn't there some bug in the kernel i915 driver? Why is the 'connector' missing there in some cases?
Comment 16 Swati Sharma 2019-08-22 14:21:30 UTC
Hi Kratochvil,

drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset() is used to validate state object for modeset changes. This function is returning EINVAL. In turn, IOCTL is getting failed. 

We entered into the above scenario because blob which is used for setting mode property for CRTC is NULL which leads to NOMODE and setting state->enable to false.
[drm:drm_atomic_set_mode_prop_for_crtc [drm]] Set [NOMODE] for [CRTC:47:pipe A] state 00000000b992248f

Which later leads to "enabled/connectors mismatch".

Looks like it may not be a driver issue and it could be how commits are being sent from the userland in case of switching from console to graphics mode.

Tried with vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 with 2 external displays and kernel version 5.1.0+ however was not able to reproduce issue.

If you are still getting the issue with the latest kernel, please send proper steps to reproduce the issue with proper configuration like which all displays getting used, kernel version, display_info, userland library details etc.

You can read in Comment 0 that I am unable to boot drm-tip.

Let's close this Bug, I am sorry I am no longer going to spend time on this, I got too busy with too much unrelated stuff.

It works after forcing the Intel driver for X11:
