Batch buffer dump from drm-intel.git kernel

Forwarding bug report from Ubuntu user Bill Farrow:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/511001

[Problem]
GPU hang with 855GM with Ubuntu Lucid, also with newest intel-drm-next and kernel.org kernels and with the xorg-edgers PPA. GPU error state from Chris Wilson's Record batch buffer following GPU hang patch captured.

[Original report]
Testing with Lucid Lynx Alpha 2 Netbook Remix on USB stick. The laptop is an Asus M5200N with Intel i855GM graphics chip.

I have the same graphics freezing bug when running 9.10 Karmic. There is already an open bug for Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447892 but since this bug has not been fixed in the Lucid yet, I am raising a separate bug report.

Assigning to Chris Wilson since I assume he may be interested at looking at the captured error state from his patch drm/i915: Record batch buffer following GPU error. Hope this is okay.

crash2: batch buffer dump
Comment 8 Bill Farrow 2010-02-25 06:49:55 UTC
At the suggestion from Geir, I have collected dmesg [1], Xorg.0.log [2], and the batch buffer dump [3] from a single boot up and crash/freeze instance.  This is much better than the previous log files which came from differing runs and maybe even different kernel builds.

The kernel was built from the drm-intel.git repository [4], which includes Chris Wilson's gpu debug code.
  kernel = 2.6.33-rc8-v2.6.29-rc1-51333-g9df3079
  git describe = v2.6.29-rc1-51333-g9df3079

Comment 9 Chris Wilson 2010-02-27 04:01:49 UTC
Thanks, this is another cache flushing bug. The telltale here is:

  IPEHR: 0x40c00000
...
0x02618194:      0x7c09c0cc: 3DSTATE_MAP_COORD_SET_I830
0x02618198:      0x7d020000: 3DSTATE_MAP_COORD_SETBIND_I830
0x0261819c: HEAD 0x00000098:    dword 1
0x026181a0:      0x7c291099: 3DSTATE_MAP_TEX_STREAM_I830

i.e. the last instruction header does not match the previous dword of the command stream -- the GPU is seeing a different state of memory wrt the CPU.

msleep(magic_delay)

This patch has proven vital to work-around more obvious cache-flushing bugs. I'd appreciate much wider testing...

I've tested this patch for over an hour and my GPU is still up and running.  I'm running latest intel-drm-next kernel from git, libdrm-2.4.18, Xorg 1.7.5, latest xf86-video-intel from git. Furtermore, this patch also fixes the render errors that are reported in this bug #26346.

That said, rendering (both 2d and 3d) is now quite slow, as expected.
Comment 12 Bill Farrow 2010-02-28 10:30:40 UTC
Chris, the msleep patch [1] works, I can log in with gdm and get to the desktop now.  Moving and redrawing windows is slow, as expected.

I had one weird freeze when closing firefox where the mouse pointer still moved, and clicking on panel icons changes the mouse pointer to the spinning circle as if it was launching the application, but then the mouse pointer returns to an arrow and no application was displayed.  Unfortunately I did not grab the logs, and I have been unable to reproduce it since.

So how do we clean this up and fix this cache flush problem properly ?  I'm happy to code if you give me some pointers.

Comment 13 Chris Wilson 2010-03-02 08:41:09 UTC
As it is clearly the CPU/GPU coherency issue, I'm duping this so as to consolidate the reports...

As to how to fix it, I've yet to find a suitable solution. The key is to ensure that the ICH has finished its writes prior to the GPU starting to DMA from memory. Sounds like it should be a fairly trivial, well-documented problem... But I've yet to find this precise scenario mentioned.

Comment 20 Bill Farrow 2010-03-03 19:31:42 UTC
Tonight I updated my ubuntu packages including xserver-xorg-* keeping the kernel with msleep() patch and I had an Xorg crash and restart, and on the next boot an Xorg freeze.  I have captured the batch buffer and Xorg log files if that helps.
