dmesg

During 5.3 RC5 cycle, I accidentally noted that when I left unblocked gnome-shell at noon, and when I returned at the evening I discovered than monitor not sleeping and show open gnome activity. At first, I thought that some application did not let fall asleep the system. But when I try to move the mouse, I realized that the system hanged. So I connect via ssh and tried to investigate the problem. I did not see anything strange in kernel logs. And my last idea before trying to kill the gnome-shell process was dumps tasks that are in uninterruptable (blocked) state.

After [Alt + PrnScr + W] I saw this:

After it, I tried to kill gnome-shell process with signal 9, but the process won't terminate after several unsuccessful attempts.

Only [Alt + PrnScr + B] helped reboot the hanging system.
I am writing here because I hope some ampgpu hackers cal look in the trace and understand that is happening.

In dri-devel mailing list, Hillf Danton proposed two patches [1]
I tested both patches on top of 5.3 RC and didn't seen any problems with them.
But due to the fact that the initial problem was accidental, I can’t confirm that it was definitely fixed by the patch.

Then Daniel Vetter proposed to add debug messages to patch [2] for seen which fence is stuck.

After all the changes I see regularly appearing trace in the kernel logs that appear only when computer blocked and monitor in power save mode.

Christian König supposes that problem is simply that PM turns of a block before all work is done on that block. And suggested writing a bug report because it is very difficult to get all the information from the mail thread.
