Description freedesk.apriori 2014-09-15 16:22:43 UTC
I’m getting frequent GPU lockups which always seem to occur when playing video (either via mpv or via flash-plugin). Not sure how to tell whether this affects the 2D driver or the mesa one. Please reassign as you see fit.

The bug manifests as one of the following:
1. X screen freezes, no response when switching VTs, only SysRq+REISUB works.
2. X screen freezes, VT switch works, system can be rebooted by userspace tools.

The common denominator in the reported errors seems to be: «nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0]» with either «write fault», «read fault», which is then followed by «PGRAPH engine fault».

I’ll follow-up with a few relevant log files.

My current setup runs on:
* Linux 3.16.2
* Xorg 1.16.0
Comment 1 Ilia Mirkin 2014-09-15 16:25:33 UTC
There should be some fixes in 3.17-rc1 and later which affect GK106, especially if you're not using blob firmware. [After these changes it appears that the blob firmware is no longer necessary, BTW, in case you're using it.]

jountalctl -b|grep nouveau

«journalctl -b -1|grep nouveau» for the most recent manifestation on Linux (ck) 3.16.2.
Comment 3 freedesk.apriori 2014-09-15 16:27:59 UTC
Ilia, thanks! So maybe this has been resolved already? While I’m at it I’ll still attach some of my collected logs, though, just in case something interesting/new might be in there.

grep nouveau *.log|grep -C 15 "fault"

Output for «grep nouveau *.log|grep -C 15 "fault"» on a few collected logs of the freezes described above.

This is for various kernel versions, I’ll follow up a table with the relevant uname output for each logfile.

If there’s anything interesting in there that needs more than 15 lines of context, let me know.
Comment 5 freedesk.apriori 2014-09-15 16:41:34 UTC
«grep "Linux version" *.log». Some of the logs are missing the version message, though, since hard crashes screw up the journal’s reboot stamp, it seems, and I had to resort to using «journalctl --since $TIME».

Recent lock-up logs, on Linux 4.0.3 and 4.0.4

I tried running Nouveau on Linux 4 again for a while, but the driver still locks up frequently. Here’s some of the recent logs in case it helps.
