>gives "invalid floating point operation" message at startup
And just closes after that.

Thank you very much for the bug report and the bisection -- that's very helpful and makes our lives much easier :)

The only floating-point operations added in that patch are

+      unsigned hs_additional = (unsigned)
+         round(hs_wants * (((double) remaining_space) / total_wants));

so I suspect we're dividing by 0.

I'll attach a patch for you to test.

Sorry, your patch did not helped, but your suggestion is right: it's division by zero, when total_wants = 0. This code uses unnecessary math tricks for trivial things for some reason. If one does the math it can be easily seen, that (remaining_space/total_wants) ratio always remains the same, so this error-prone hacky code can be replaced by equivalent clear one, which is not prone to division-by-zero errors. Patch attached (works for me). Please review.

Thank you. That looks good.

If I might make two suggestions, which you're welcome to do as a follow on patch: (1) replace the (double) cast with (float) (commit af5ca43 added new code using doubles, which was a rebasing mistake on top of commit c1da1570), and (2) use lroundf() instead of round().

Can you please send the patch to mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org using git send-email? Also, please make sure git is configured with your name and email.

Thanks!

    i965/urb: fixes division by zero

Thanks!

Sorry, I had to revert this. It broke various piglit tests.

The problem is that total_wants and remaining_space are updated between each calculation, making the transformation your patch made incorrect.

If you want to investigate, some of the tests broken are:

IVB GT1:

tests/spec/arb_tessellation_shader/execution/variable-indexing/tcs-output-array-vec2-index-wr.shader_test -auto

HSW GT1:

tests/spec/glsl-1.50/execution/varying-struct-basic-vs-gs.shader_test -auto

HSW GT2:

bin/glsl-1.50-geometry-end-primitive 33 -auto -fbo

HSW GT3:

tests/spec/arb_tessellation_shader/execution/variable-indexing/vs-output-array-vec4-index-wr-before-tcs.shader_test

BDW GT2:

tests/spec/arb_tessellation_shader/execution/variable-indexing/tcs-output-array-vec2-index-rd-after-barrier.shader_test -auto


They all trigger the assertion immediately below, so they should be easy to reproduce

   /* Sanity check that we haven't over-allocated. */
   assert(push_constant_chunks +
          vs_chunks + hs_chunks + ds_chunks + gs_chunks <= urb_chunks);

You can also use INTEL_DEVID_OVERRIDE=... with a PCI ID of one of these chips (found in include/pci_ids/i965_pci_ids.h) to exercise the code paths for a chip you don't have.

I know they are updated, but I don't understand why it's incorrect. I mean look at this:
>remaining_space -= vs_additional;
>total_wants -= vs_wants;
Because vs_additional/vs_wants = remaining_space/total_wants, remaining_space/total_wants should remain the same after update and code should be equivalent, up to rounding errors. Maybe it's just rounding up error and after replace "round" with "floor" it will work? (can you test this?) Anyway I try to look at this more closely.

Right, I suspect it's just a rounding error.  Other portions of the code solve that problem by allocating rounded blocks for all but one stage, and just allocating the remaining space to that final stage.  floor might also be a reasonable plan.

I don't understand the whole picture, but how often actually it's not enough space (remaining_space < total_wants)? If it's usually enough space to allocate, isn't it reasonable to distinguish (remaining_space >= total_wants) as a separate case, which is not uses any floating-point arithmetic and just allocates what was asked and for second case use original code, but with two explicit checks added for total_wants==0?
Or use solution with "floor" for second case only, as it is simpler. Because solution with "floor" may not allocate all requested space even in trivial case (remaining_space >= total_wants). I don't know, is it acceptable to use "floor" and allocate slightly less space than possible in second case (when remaining_space < total_wants).

>Because solution with "floor" may not allocate all requested space even in trivial case (remaining_space >= total_wants).
My mistake, I thought about more complicated rounding problems. Floor will work fine when it's enough space.

patch3

Unfortunately I had not been able to reproduce any broken piglet tests, which were mentioned, introduced by this patch (obviously I tested only on my hardware, but piglet results were equal). Anyway I propose two patches, which solve this bug. First is not using any floating point arithmetic, just integer division, which is equal to rounding down and therefore should not allocate more chunks than available. Second is straightforward obvious fix to the original code - checking for null before two divisions.

orbment crash log

FYI, I encountered this same bug while trying to run orbment (https://github.com/Cloudef/orbment), with it crashing at startup raising SIGFPE. I attached the corresponding log.

I tested both patches proposed by dnord (patch3 and patch4), and both seem to solve the issue for me. Thanks! Hopefully one of them gets merged at some point :).

I can also confirm patch4 fixes the SIGFPE issue. I ran the pigtail tests and they passed with both patches (I also couldn't reproduce the test failure btw).

Thank you. I've tested and committed this version of the patch.
