error state

Okay I've seen both my ilk machines gpu hang over the weekend, and I've never seen them do it before.

I've got an error state from one at least, if its not in there then I suspect rc6.
Comment 1 Chris Wilson 2012-10-15 08:30:42 UTC
The hang looks pretty clean (no suspicious operations), more or less upon the transition from a 3D to BLT within a UXA batch buffer; rc6 requiring w/a would not surprise me.
Comment 2 Daniel Vetter 2012-10-15 13:35:46 UTC
Ok, I've hunted around in our docs a bit and found a few ilk w/as we don't implement. Or at least what I think we miss, given our sorry state of docs. Pushed out to

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm/log/?h=ilk-wa-pile
Comment 3 Chris Wilson 2012-10-17 17:07:12 UTC
Also if you want to pin the blame on rc6, i915.i915_enable_rc6=0...
Comment 4 Dave Airlie 2012-10-29 21:34:10 UTC
okay got another death with rc6 disabled like Norbert.

took about 3-4 days this time.

this is 3.6.0 + -next + ilks wa, I'll try and start a bisect on it now, 4-5 days a hang, back in a few years
Comment 6 Chris Wilson 2012-11-02 08:57:32 UTC
That error-state is more consistent with a relocation failure than Norbert's - it fails trying to execute a composite operation within the middle of a batch.

i915_error_state.txt.gz

Having seen https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/23/155 I think I am affected by the same bug. While I was compiling a kernel in a tmpfs, all of sudden KWin died. When I looked in dmesg, I saw:

Attached is an i915_error_state from today, running 3.7-rc2-492-ge657e07. (only some ARM patches before 3.7-rc3).
I remember that I had exactly the same error message in a -testing branch on 3.6 (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/tag/?h=drm-intel-testing&id=drm-intel-next-2012-09-20). I built that kernel on Sep 21 and it locked up on Sep 27 (no rebooting, just suspends). If you want a dmesg (nothing interesting) or logs/i915_error_state from that 3.6 kernel, let me know.

    drm/i915: Use cpu relocations if the object is in the GTT but not mappable
    
    This prevents the case of unbinding the object in order to process the
    relocations through the GTT and then rebinding it only to then proceed
    to use cpu relocations as the object is now in the CPU write domain. By
    choosing to use cpu relocations up front, we can therefore avoid the
    rebind penalty.

Comment 10 Daniel Vetter 2012-11-06 09:56:41 UTC
Ok, doesn't look like an rc6 thing, but very much like a regression.
Comment 11 Peter Wu 2012-11-06 10:04:56 UTC
Reverting that commit on top of 3.7-rc4 did not fix the hang issu. If you need any guinea pig for testing, here I am.

disable unmappable

Since right now we still have tons of signs pointing at unmappable gtt handling to be broken/non-coherent somehow, let's try this sledgehammer here and simply disable it all.
Comment 13 Peter Wu 2012-11-06 10:40:05 UTC
I applied that "sledgehammer" patch on 3.7-rc4, but the error persists. I saved dmesg and the i915_error_state file. If you need more information (or those logs), please give a call.
Comment 14 Daniel Vetter 2012-11-06 11:04:13 UTC
Can you please attach the new error_state with the sledgehammer? Maybe things shifted around enough to see what's going on ...

> i915_error_state.gz with sledgehammer patch

Note that this hang is slightly different again, closer to the one reported by Norbert, in that the hang is the HEAD didn't advanced into the batchbuffer as opposed to a hang within or after the batch.

So can you please try the hack in conjunction with the ilk-wa-pile?

The issue still exists. Same errors in dmesg.
Comment 18 Chris Wilson 2012-11-06 17:44:17 UTC
Ok, next interesting observation is that your error states both have a double emission of the request seqno, so perhaps submitting that many PIPE_CONTROL in sequence is triggering an error? Can you please test, on top of everything else,

Same here, I got a hang with all the mentioned patches while compiling a big bunch of TeX Live. Error state is here now.
Comment 21 Chris Wilson 2012-11-07 08:52:44 UTC
ARGH!

Still it hangs in the middle of a series of requests (with no intervening batches or other operations). That should be impossible design wise, and improbable hardware wise.

i915 error state with ilk-wa-pipe + sledgehammer + ring flush (another hang)

Here is another hang with a different error state (at least to my eyes). Happened when running git checkout on a big repository. No other messages.
Comment 23 Peter Wu 2012-11-09 15:54:41 UTC
Is there anything to test? I mentioned before that this occurs when the memory is almost full. I have no swap, but 8GB RAM. Copied five times 1.2GiB (=6GiB total) to tmpfs (/dev/shm and /tmp).
Comment 24 Chris Wilson 2012-11-09 16:25:19 UTC
8GB machine (i3-330m) with no swap:

$ mount -ttmpfs -osize=100% none /tmp/wtf
$ while :; do yes wtf > /tmp/wtf/wtf; done &
$ sudo X -ac -noreset & while :; do x11perf -aa10text -d :0; done

with that I am able to repeatedly drive the machine to oom without triggering a GPU hang. Note I am using this set of patches on top of dinq: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=fastboot

Peter, is that close enough to your test case to trigger the bug, or do I need to tweak it slightly? Can you please also test with the patches in fastboot, in case there is an accidental fix?

The bug still triggers, w/ and w/o the sledgehammer+ring flush patches.

The dmesg is now slightly different on the ickle/linux-2.6 fastboot branch:

One thing that I now notice (because I did not try it before) is that switching to a text console (ctrl+alt+F1) gives me a black screen with some flashing large rectangles on screen (possibly the flashing cursor for the username)

Starting just X from a TTY and then running x11perf/glxgears/glxspheres with cp linux tree / yes / dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/wtf.. did not work. Even if OOM killed half my machine

I can only reproduce it after logging into KDE and running a GL program (like glxgears). x11perf does not trigger the bug, even in KDE. Maybe other (compositing) window managers work too, but I have not tested that.

I am using the below bash script after logging into KDE. After starting this script, I watch the kernel log (journalctl -f) and run `glxgears`.
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /tmp/wtf
mountpoint /tmp/wtf||sudo mount -osize=6200M -t tmpfs none /tmp/wtf
echo 15 > /proc/$$/oom_score_adj # just in case...
pids=
for i in /tmp/wtf/hang-{1..6}; do
        rm -rf "$i"
        #yes wtf > $i & # did not work
        cp -ra ~/Linux-src/linux "$i" &
        pids="$pids $!"
done
trap "kill $pids" EXIT

Comment 26 Chris Wilson 2012-11-09 19:11:32 UTC
Peter, have you tested i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 (on top of the sledgehammer and w/a)? You have a most peculiar failure pattern where the GPU should be idle and then dies in a flush.
Comment 27 Daniel Vetter 2012-11-09 20:25:40 UTC
A similar bug on i965gm (bug #56916) mentions that things _only_ blow up when a mesa program is running. So everyone who can hit this, please reply with your exact mesa version and what (if any) GL programs you have running when this happens (GL compositor, ...). Also, those who can readily reproduce the hangs, please check whether stopping all GL clients (disable the compositor or use a non-GL one) prevents the hangs.
Comment 28 Peter Wu 2012-11-09 22:26:22 UTC
New results:
- with rc6 disabled, both 3.7-rc4 and wa+sledgehammer+ringflush does not expose the bug
- with rc6 not disabled (i.e. the default, -1), wa+sledgehammer+ringflush and GL compositing disabled in KWin, the bug is not trigerred. (in the same boot, GL compositing was enabled again and the bug shows up)

I am using the standard Mesa packages shipped with Arch Linux, that is 9.0.
The bug is triggered when KDE's KWin is active and glxgears is running. (instead of glxgears, I first tried glxspheres which triggers the bug too)
Comment 29 Chris Wilson 2012-11-10 08:19:21 UTC
Definitely looks like we have a pair of independent unresolved "cpu-relocs" and rc6 issues.
Comment 30 Daniel Vetter 2012-11-10 13:50:37 UTC
Ok, it looks like we have different bugs here, or at least non-overlapping sets of workarounds :(

Peter Wu, can you please check what happens when you manually enable rc6 on a 3.6 kernel?

Norbert Preining, test-results for your machine wrt rc6 vs. "mesa client/compositor running" vs. 3.6/3.7-rc would be really interesting, since iirc you can blow up your machine rather quickly, too.
Comment 31 Peter Wu 2012-11-11 10:42:09 UTC
3.6.6 w/o patches, w/ i915.i915_enable_rc6=1, w/ OpenGL compositing WM (KWin) and glxgears does *not* trigger the bug. I do get a very sluggish desktop which ultimately leads to some OOMs, but that is normal.

If it helps, I have tested the stock arch kernel config: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/config.x86_64?h=packages/linux&id=89de8dc7df6894c219e746326ca338e9279c2e3f

and my own config: https://github.com/Lekensteyn/aur/blob/13feda6a55fb67c912c0611dc0c019bb084e7560/linux-custom/config

I am running now with rc6 disabled and all the patches mentioned above. I am trying with Gnome3 and some GLX programs to see what I can do.

Happened again when doing heavy photo viewing with quick switching in shotwell.

Same hang as before on your machine between a rectlist PRIM and a BLT.

To check: Is this with a GL client/compositor running?

If the above is with a GL client, then trying to hang the box without any GL client/compositor running would be interesting.

Ok, at least repeatable ;-) So in my case rc6 does not make a change, former one was without any specific rc6 cmdline.

> To check: Is this with a GL client/compositor running?

Gnome3, so I guess there is a compositor running.

Hmm, what WM could I use, guess I have to try fvwm back again. Will try in one way or the other.

Comment 36 Chris Wilson 2012-11-13 16:48:13 UTC
Norbet, since you see a slightly different presentation of this bug, it would be useful if you could also test http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/log/?h=fastboot which despite its name also contains some work on the mb() around the relocations.

Ok, there is one merge conflict with current kernel master, but I am trying to build the kernel now after fixing the conflict in one way (keeping the code).

I tried also to merge that with the ilk-pile but that was hopeless with loads of merge conflicts.

Will give feedback as soon as I can.

Looks eerily similar to attachment #69604 [details] [review] i.e. has been tried, doesn't work on at least Peter's machine.

i.e. i915_gem_object_set_to_cpu_domain(obj, true); on unbind which would more explicitly test the failure mechanism.

As a follow-on test, one of the areas where we short-circuit domain tracking that may be fouled up by not calling set-to-cpu-domain upon unbind.

Plain 3.7-rc kernel, just pick one that's broken ;-) Please also test the patch in comment #43 since that one tests a different theory.

#44 / #46 are both elements of #43... All 3 are worth testing independently.

Comment 66 Chris Wilson 2012-11-20 08:48:45 UTC
One question we haven't ask is whether this is a genuine hang or an unfortunate hangcheck? Can you please reproduce with i915.enable_hangcheck=0 and see if your machine locks up instead of reporting the hang?
Comment 67 Imre Deak 2012-11-20 09:29:40 UTC
For me bisection pointed to commit #6c085a72 - drm/i915: Track unbound pages. A couple of additional test runs at this and its parent commit proves this.

I'll try patches from comment #43-#46. Since those didn't fix the problem for Norbert it might be we have multiple issues.

Chris: running with enable_hangcheck=0 on #6c085a72 the machine locked up.

Hi Chris,

I am now running with  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/log/?h=for-imre pulled into main linux git.

The first thing I realized that there are some very strange effects happening: I have docky (a panel) running, and set to auto-hide. If it is shown, then there are boxes around *some* of the icons there. And if the docky panel is going into hiding mode, then a nice green bar appears across my screen.

Is this a known problem? Should I report it somewhere? I have made two screenshots showing the effects, should I upload them here or somewhere else?

Now I do some testing with these patches

No, that's a little unexpected...But for now focus on the question whether the original hang is reproducible and I'll build a second tree with just the likely fixes.

I couldn't trigger anything with that, it just happily continued for ages. Here it seems that big IO for read and write to be necessary, while here is only read.

Running current linux HEAD with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=bug55984 pulled in I cannot trigger the crash, how hard I have tried now for some time.

Compared with the for-imre branch also the strange artifacts are gone, so it looks much better now.

I have still the following boot cmd line:
   i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 i915.enable_hangcheck=0

I will do more testing, of course

Norbert
Comment 75 Norbert Preining 2012-11-24 00:08:02 UTC
Okay, I guess I have to recall my statement, I didn't realize it at first. Due to the i915.enable_hangcheck=0 it seemss that not simply the 3d died and Gnome3 WM died, but with this the screen went black and didn't react on anything. Interestingly there were no messages at all in the log files.

I could SysRq the computer, and the logfiles showed activity, but the screen remain black.

I guess that is the sign of a hang.

Pity.
Comment 76 Chris Wilson 2012-11-24 19:47:56 UTC
Ok, after banging my head against this for several days, I have decreed that the death within the render ring (inside the sequence of FLUSH PIPE_CONTROLx8 FLUSH) is due to enabling of rc6 on ILK. That doesn't explain all the crashes, but it does explain the "immediate" crashes on danvet-ilk using Daniel's killscript.

The remaining crashes, where the GPU vanishes in mid-batch, are what we need to try and reproduce - and I hope the common factor between this bug and #57122, #56916, #57136.
Comment 77 Peter Wu 2012-11-25 13:55:14 UTC
With http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=bug55984, the situation does not change, i.e. still lockup message and vanishing 3D capailities.

Comment 78 Chris Wilson 2012-11-25 19:06:10 UTC
The last bit of information we need is how to reproduce the non-rc6 related hangs - all the killscripts we've generated so far seem to hit the rc6 issue, afaik.

Comment 86 Chris Wilson 2012-12-01 09:37:54 UTC
Norbet, if you can reproduce it with SNA, due to the packing of the batchbuffer I can have much better idea of what is going on. The suspicion is definitely some dodgy state in the surface packet - but at this moment in time, it could even be an alignment issue that's been hidden by buffer layout. :|

Dave didn't want to muddy the waters and make sure we make sure we understand the root cause of the regression with UXA; I'm trying to use it as a diagnostic.
Comment 89 Norbert Preining 2012-12-04 23:45:14 UTC
First report on SNA: I got a very very strange thing yesterday. After resuming from suspend-to-ram I continued working with GIMP on some graphics, and first it started with some blue flashes on the screen, and finally the screen got completely blue, but I could in principle still interact with the windows, just without seeing anything.

Restarting X (gdm) did fix it for me.

Doing more heavy IO to stress test SNA.

Interesting, certainly the first I've heard of such. Can you see if it is possible to capture it in a screenshot, or failing that a photograph, and please open a bug report for it.

this bug is similar or the same as this..:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49571

my bisect is pointing to the changes with device_cgroup.c

[66b8ef67756b3051bf42a077a82c3c5c279caa5b] device_cgroup: add "deny_all" in
dev_cgroup structure

I have two more revisions to test, but am sure they wont matter since they are for fat and kernel-doc
once I am done bisecting I will pull to the current Mainline and run it to see if the fixes in device_cgroup fix this for me, then will go from there.

sorry for the late reply, I was on a trip.

Since it only happened once and on some rc kernels I leave it for now, but a screenshot is not necessary, it was simply monocolor blue ... nothing else ;-)

Another thing: I have now tried to hit the bug with SNA for a long time, without *any* success. As soon as I switched back to IXA the bug was triggered within short time.

Does this help you?

As a null data-point, yes. My interpretation is then back towards a relocation/mm issue. (There is an outside chance that some of the surface alignment tweaks help, for which getting the SURFACE_STATE would have been useful...)

Norbert, a quick scan of the bug report doesn't yield any information as to whether you tested the mb() theory. Can you please try:

Keep reserved objects pinned until after reloction processing.

An idea at last: earlier objects are moved in order to perform the relocations. This should be impossible as we try to detect when we are going to require GTT access for relocation processing and reserve it in the right spot. However, the code change is minor and it should be easy enough to test...

That's a spectacular broken mesa batch buffer. Its surface state base doesn't point anywhere near a buffer.

There have been a lot of patches floating around, but I was running 3.7.0 plus this patch now for a while, and using UXA (*not* using SNA, with SNA it always was fine). 

I did not hit any problem till now, although I did heavy IO stuff as usual (svn up and git svn rebase on two 6+Gb repos), etc.

Chris: What should I do next? You have posted two patches (108 and 109 comments), should I try both, or each on independently?

Or is the information that patch from 107 is fine (till now) enough?

Please let me know, and thanks for your work on that, and Merry Christmas!

Meh. As that patch is basically changing the ordering of the objects considered for shrinking, it just opens a can of worms - but it does seem to be a stopgap workaround.

> Chris: What should I do next? You have posted two patches (108 and 109
> comments), should I try both, or each on independently?

#108 is a means of provoking the GPU to spot a lot more errors, it needs a little more refinement to not first fallover on standard UXA behaviour.

I'd be interested in seeing if #109 has any effect at all (on stock 3.7.0 + uxa).

There is also https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1896161/ that would be useful to test (as it fixes a real bug and it would be cool if it was also an effective workaround here).

I will try the patch from 109 in combination with the patchwork patch next. I think I *did* try the patchwork test recently.

So I will go silent now and report back in a few days if no problems arose, or immediately if it freezes again.

Thanks

Norbert

I haven't tried it yet, do you still want me to test it?

[reply to comment 108]
I cannot apply it on top of 3.7.1. What base do you want me to test it on?

[reply to comment 109]
Do I need to apply this to xf86-video-intel? If yes, which version/commit?

[reply to comment 111]
I tried to apply https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1896161/ on top of vanilla v3.7.1, but I could not get it to compile:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c: In function ‘drm_mm_scan_remove_block’:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c:612:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘__drm_mm_hole_node_end’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Did you mean drm_mm_hole_node_end?

Yes, it is xf86-video-intel. I am running it with the current version of Debian/sid + this patch now (2.20.14-1 + the patch)

Hmm, I have compiled it with 3.7.0 git kernel without a problem, some offset while patching but that was all.

Is it a standalone patch or does it depend on the former DRM patch? Anyway, I have tested it with 3.7.1 + i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 and it still triggers the hang check thingey as before. (without enabling rc6 it does not do that)

I got some offset issues too, but it failed to compile at all because the function was not defined. Did you really apply the patch to the right source tree?

the rc6 needs to be disabled *in*any*case*, that is known by now.
And it is a standalone patch of xf86-video-intel. Did you recompile it?

Huuu? Are you sure? I checked my git commit log and it is kernel 3.7 tag of Linus, then the merge into my git repo, and then the patch. Nothing else.

I guess you are running something else.

With rc6 disabled I cannot trigger the bug. Yes, I recompiled and restarted X.

I saw that, but I have a symbol with a __ prefix.

Looking at the comments, there are two versions of that patch. comment 105 and comment 111 (v3). I guess you applied the earlier one? Chris, can you comment on this?

Indeed, patchwork 1896161 from comment 111 does not compile.

Thanks, rebooting now with new kernel (and still patched intel xf86 driver)
Comment 124 Peter Wu 2012-12-23 13:38:03 UTC
I am unable to reproduce any hang with rc6 disabled. Chris, should I test it with rc6 enabled?
Norbert, do you have a reliable test-case? My sw/hw details:

- Distro: Arch Linux x86_64 (with testing repos enabled)
- DDX: xf86-video-intel 2.20.16 on Xorg 1.13.1
- KDE 4.9.4 as desktop environment, KWin uses OpenGL compositing
- Kernel: 3.7.1 (config https://raw.github.com/Lekensteyn/aur/master/linux-custom/config + watchdog patch)
- SSD: Intel 320 80G (/boot + LUKS-encrypted filesystem)
- CPU: i5-460M
- RAM: 8G

My rc6-enabled hang could be triggered by copying a Linux source from the SSD tree a few times to tmpfs (without hitting OOM).

One bug at a time! ;-)

The rc6=0 bug seems much more nasty as it is affecting gen4/gen5 and seems to imply a deep underlying synchronisation issue (so could actually be all architectures, just more prevalent on gen4/5). The rc6=1 ilk bug really does look like a missing hw workaround, dying between a series of flushes on the render ring is a good indication that our hw interaction is at fault. rc6 is disabled by default on ilk because we had not yet managed to make it work reliably, that it still doesn't work makes it a lower priority bug to chase. However, given the closely linked bisection, fixing the common problem may indeed make the rc6 bug harder to trigger.

Ok. seems to work very stable now. I am running now a few days with the patches xf86-intel driver and this patch (#122), and didn't have any hiccups at all.

Thanks a lot

I can confirm this. Very stable now.

Ok, I got one. It took a *long* time, and I (stupidly) didn't grab the error state (too tired after 24 hours of flight/travel), but it definitely happened while running a apt-get upgrade after a long time, while at the same time browsing photos from my travel.

Let's say, the situation as wastely improved, but is not perfect. I will try to get the error state as soon as I hit it again.

Actually trying it over, I see the following:

3.7.0 plus patch from #122 with patched intel driver is rock solid
3.8.0-rc2 with patched intel driver (but no kernel patch) hangs (uploading the error state file soon)

I will try 3.8.0-rc3 with #122 patch plus the two from Chris 130/131 now.

Hang me

So now the workaround is upstream, we need to find a way to retrigger the bug...

This patch causes us to unbind everything after each batch - but it also causes execution to be serialised. So the timing is going to be completely different versus the IO related hangs... We might try evicting before the batch instead.

3.8.0-rc3 with patches from #122, #130, #131 seems to be very stable again.

Concerning the other two requests: Since testing on *absence* of the bug always takes me a few days until I am convinced that it does not appear, which of the two #134 or #135 should I try next, taking into account that the patches from 122,130,131 do work out in some way.

The band-aid is backported already afaik, the real fix should show up in the next 3.7.x point release (currently under -stable review).
