Description Didier 2016-11-02 13:22:38 UTC
See bug 1357383#c9 .

Fairly recent high-end Dell Precision 7710 (latest BIOS 1.8.3 10/2016) :
- LCD : 17.3" UHD 3840x2160
- IGP : Intel Xeon E3-1545M (Intel Iris Pro P580)
- DGP : AMD FirePro W7170M (Radeon R9 285) , GCN 1.2

WRT https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2016-10-26_BetterSwitchableGraphicsSupport , downloaded and ran Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-20161026.n.0.iso (from https://www.happyassassin.net/nightlies.html).


Experiencing the same issues as with almost every F24/kernel incantation :

- With hybrid/switchable graphics enabled :
the system almost always locks up hard (black screen, no caps lock or num lock, no Alt-SysRq) when trying to suspend or when the screen saver (DPMS ?) is started.
This is with both i915 and amdgpu loaded (vgaswitcheroo), and with amdgpu blacklisted.

- With hybrid/switchable graphics disabled in the BIOS :
Screen locking usually works, suspending usually fails.

Other info :
* Tested with and without "dis_ucode_ldr" kernel parameter ;
* Unfortunately, it seems I am unable to setup kernel logging via USB serial console ;
* Willing to supply all kinds of info (ACPI dumps etc.), if instructed what & how.

4.9.0 i915 oops

Running F24 with kernel 4.9.0-0.rc2.git2.1.fc26.x86_64 (as requested in bug #1357383) in hybrid graphics mode yields a reproducible kernel oops before locking up a few seconds later.

The reproducible kernel oops is triggered by invoking "Blank screen" (Gnome > Settings > Power > Power Saving > Blank screen).

The oops seems identical to the one reported on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/12/119), and for which a patch seems availabl (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98214 : "drm/i915: WARN_ON_ONCE(!crtc_clock || cdclk < crtc_clock)").


This oops prevents any hybrid graphics testing on this machine.

Any chance of integrating this patch in a Koji or COPR Fedora test kernel ?

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:33:56 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:42:10 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
