Hm, the dmesg output seems to be rather sparse. Have you checked that full debug output is enabled over the console? You can set this with

dmesg -n 8

Note that the dmesg tool shipping with most distros is broken, and the upstream maintainer unwilling to fix it (I have no idea about the amount of fail going on there). If your dmesg tool rejects the above command please compile&run (as root) the below littel C tool:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/syslog.h>
#include <sys/klog.h>

int main()
{
        klogctl(8, NULL, 8);
}

If the dmesg with full debug enabled doesn't show more I guess we need the bisect result to move forward here. But since there's quite a few commits to test grabbing a new dmesg might be quicker.

dmesg with c tool

Hm, module reload should dump much more information when the dmesg verbosity is correctly set over netconsole. So I still think there's something wrong with your netconsole setup.

Can you please check whether your netconsole setup works correctly (= you get the same output over netconsole as if you grab the dmesg output locally) on a machine where module_reload works? If that works please check the netconsole output of the affected hsw machine with another test which is know to put debug information into dmesg but doesn't crash the machine, like testdisplay.

Also, can you please start to bisect this issue so that we don't get blocked on getting netconsole to work better?

    drm/i915: switch disable_power_well default value to 1

    Now that the audio driver is using our power well API, everything
    should be working correctly, so let's give it a try.

    Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

Can you please double-check the bisect by booting with i915.disable_power_well=0 on latest -nightly?

In any case one for Paulo it seems ...

Add i915.disable_power_well=0, this issue goes away.

Fix for the bug

Hi

Can you please verify this patch fixes the bug?

Please notice that this patch only fixes the "unclaimed register" messages. When running module_reload I still see many problems which are not fixed by this patch:
- We get a gpu hang most of the time
- Backlight doesn't work
- Sometimes we get an oops
- There's a big lockdep warning every time.

Thanks,
Paulo

Which issue specifically: the black screen or the "unclaimed register" messages? Can you please post the new dmesg output?

Please the full dmesg.

What I did here to test was:

- Boot the machine
- SSH to it from another machine
- Run ./module_reload from the SSH session
- dmesg > dmesg.txt

Does that work for you?

Paulo, I add drm.debug=0xe to grub, the attached dmesg is full dmesg.

Because system hang, I use netconsole.

Do you have any suggest for more dmesg?

I really can't reproduce your bug. Can you please attach the full "dmesg" from right before you run module_reload? Please do it with drm.debug=0xe. Also please attach the output of "lsmod" from right before when you run module_reload.

Also, please check if when you run module_reload you get some error messages about module i915 still being loaded.

Also, please check whether you're just getting a backlight bug or a real full machine hang.

I'm running drm-intel-nightly.

(In reply to comment #11)
> Created attachment 84128 [details]
> dmesg with patch "Fix for the bug"

The errors on this log are for registers that should still work even when the power well is disabled... I wonder if there's some issue between the Audio and Graphics drivers.

I added drm.debug=0xe.

Ok, I reinstalled my OS and now I can reproduce the bug. I also did an analysis:

The bug is not really caused by module reload, it's caused by the "echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind" command that's part of the module_reload script.

Since I couldn't reproduce the bug in my previous installation, I suspect the bug is dependent on which console driver is used.

We get the problem even if the power well is enabled when we run the command. But if the power well was *never* disabled, we don't get the problem. This means that the condition to make the bug happen later is just a disable/enable cycle on the power well.

Another thing I notice is that the endless flood of "unclaimed register" messages doesn't seem to be triggered by our driver. It seems something else is causing these messages. Maybe something is writing to VGA memory?

If we disable the north display error interrupts, everything appears to work (except for a few error messages on dmesg).

Hi

I believe this patch series fixes the problem:

Are you sure you did the test correctly? Did you kill X and all the other DRM clients when doing this? If you repeat the test with i915.disable_power_well=0 do you also get the same problem?

All conditions necessary to run the other intel-gpu-tools tests apply when running module_reload.

Run with i915.disable_power_well=0, also has same output info.

Clean boot system, then test it.

I have no idea what happens on your "clean boot system" configuration. Does the desktop environment run? Do you have X running?

That "i915.ko still loaded!" message really suggests there are programs you need to kill before doing the tests. Please make sure your testing environment is correct before you try to run module_reload.

 "clean boot system" means system boot up without X and the desktop environment running.

  Since Kernel 3.12.0rc2, after running "echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind" and "rmmod intel_ips &> /dev/null", lsmod shows there are still 2 programs using i915 module on haswell(I check all platform, this only happens on haswell). It causes i915 module can not be unloaded. I don't know what are the 2 programs, and how to kill them.

Could be the audio driver holding module references for the power well stuff. Can you please unload all sound drivers and see whether that gets rid of the references?

Unloading snd_hda_intel module gets rid of the references. Thanks, Daniel.
I verify Paulo's patch series fixes the bug.

So I guess we need to patch module_reload to also "rmmod snd_hda_intel" (or whatever the correct module is).

Yup, I think we need to add that. Lu Hua, can you please file a new bug report that module_reload doesn't work on Haswell? It's a regression, so top priority bug.

The ugly thing about it, is that, at least on my machine, we need to "pkill alsactl" in addition to stopping gdm. Do we want this on the script?

The patches that fix this bug have been submitted a long time already. See comment #25. Daniel didn't seem to be too interested in merging them...

I'll try to investigate the problem a little bit more so I can provide a more detailed/precise description of the problem and why the current patches fix it (because of the questions from the reviewers). But I'm not sure what I should do to fix this bug if we're not willing to merge the patches.

Also, the function that triggers the unclaimed register is clearly vgacon_set_cursor_size.

It looks like we're stuck in an infinite loop inside console_unlock.

The code that seems to fix the problem is just:
vga_get_uninterruptible(dev->pdev, VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_IO);
val = inb(VGA_MSR_READ);
outb(val & ~VGA_MSR_MEM_EN, VGA_MSR_WRITE);
vga_set_legacy_decoding(dev->pdev, VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_IO | VGA_RSRC_NORMAL_IO |VGA_RSRC_NORMAL_MEM);
vga_put(dev->pdev, VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_IO);

That just looks like normal vgacon activity when stuff changes on the screen.

The momement you unbind fbcon, vgacon takes over again. The  But if the legacy resources aren't enabled you get the unclaimed register errors.

Either we'd need to restore the hardware to a state where VGA actually works,
or vgacon shouldn't be allowed to rebind after someone has clobbered the state. I'd go for the latter since it seems easier. Maybe there was a patch already somewhere. Also restoring the hardware state could happen only at driver unload time, and by that time vgacon has already kicked in. So even in that case we'd need to prevent vgacon from taking over before the hardware state has been restored.

This solves the problem:

So we read zero and write zero, and that seems to solve the problem....

(In reply to comment #41)
> This solves the problem:

Oh, and by "solves the problem" I mean "solves the problem where you boot with eDP+HDMI, so when you unbind the power well is already enabled".

The case where we only have eDP is sovled by other patches.

Today I submitted "drm/i915: disable VGA mem when reenabling the power well":

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2013-November/036733.html

This fixes the case where the power well is *enabled* when we do the unbind. This won't fix the problem if you just have an eDP panel enabled.

The case where the power well is *disabled* when we do the unbind will require more patches.

I've pushed a completely untested patch series to just shut up vgacon to

Just to document the bug what I said on IRC: this doesn't fix the bug.

Function do_unregister_con_driver() returns -ENODEV, so we don't really unbind vgacon. This happens because vgacon doesn't have the CON_DRIVER_FLAG_MODULE flag. The vgacon is not initalized by do_register_con_driver(), it's initialized by con_init(), though the "conswitchp" variable which is initalized by arch/x86/kernel/setup.c. I am not sure if it's possible to just uninitialize vgacon...

Reassigning bug back to default assignee. I already provided patches that fix the bug, twice, but it seems people don't like my current approach, yet they don't suggest/submit anything that actually fixes the bug.

I continued the investigation, and posted the findings as a reply to the patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2013-December/037289.html

> Paulo has a new set of patches iirc ...

We recently merged the patches to fix the case where the power well is _enabled_ while we do module_unload. I'm not sure how QA tests this bug, but this case should be fixed.

What remains is the patch to enable the power well in case we unbind fbcon. I have an implementation for this, but it touches the FB layer and it seems people don't want to touch those files (even if we just add some callback support). I need do re-check if there's a way to implement this without touching anything outside drivers/gpu/drm/i915 (I already did it once, but can try again...). If we do this, the code will work regardless of the loaded console.

Chris recently submitted "drm/i915: Kick out vga console" which kills vgacon and, as a consequence, also indirectly solves the problem.

If Chris "kill vgacon" patch is good enough I'd very much prefer that one. We need it anyway and it's imo the sane thing to do in general ...

Daneil, any update on this bug? Do we have new patches?
Hua, pls help to retest.

This is bug 77511. We really need a script to traige backtraces to avoid such confusions.

Chris, can you please add the select DUMMY_CONSOLE to your patch, add a commit message and re-submit it please?

Maybe cc: David Herrmann on the patch, too.

config DUMMY_CONSOLE
        bool
        depends on VGA_CONSOLE!=y || SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE!=y
        default y

Hmm, that would seem to make "select DUMMY_CONSOLE" nonsense. Anyway, as I said, I'd like for Paulo to write the commit message as I am not sure just what and why this works.

Hm, I've thought it would break. Probably easiest to push this out into a branch the 0-day tester looks at and wait for reports ;-)

Fix pushed out to -fixes (though it was in -nightly for about a week now).

Report Bug 80176 about the failure, the failure happens on -fixes and -nightly kernel. So I will verify this bug after bug 80176 fixed.
