Description of problem: I recently bought a laptop produced by Clevo, model P65xHP (according to /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name), rebranded as XMG P507 1060 2017. The laptop has a discrete Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (Pascal family) and an Intel Core i7-7700HQ with HD Graphics 630. % /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile 6GB] (rev a1) When booting, and logging into X11, in 95% of the cases, it uses the llvmpipe driver for the nvidia GPU. This is caused by nouveau not being able to correctly initialize the Falcon. I suppose it must be a race condition in the initialization code for the nvidia chip, because the problem is not deterministic. It occurs only in about 19 of 20 boots. The problem is written to the console ("error during falcon reset: -110") before initramfs asks for the LUKS password. If I continuously reboot on the LUKS password prompt after the error occurs, I get a good falcon initialization after about 20 reboots. X11 then properly uses the modesetting driver instead of llvmpipe, and PRIME works.

At https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/760oc8/nouveau_acceleration_doesnt_work_on_cold_boot/ it is claimed that the problem can be circumvented by first booting into Windows. I cannot say whether that works because I do not have Windows. A related issue might be https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103382 -- the attachment "dmesg output" shows the same error messages. However, the reporter of that bug describes different symptoms. I do not get the flickering/artifacts described there when running with llvmpipe.
Hey, thank you for the bug report! This bug is in a video subsystem that has a kernel part. We track and work on these bugs via the driver package name instead of leaving them assigned to the kernel.

I am actually the person who made that Reddit post, in my case the firmware always fails to load unless I reboot from Windows or immediately after removing the Nvidia blob. Just in it's an AIB specific VBIOS issue may I ask what's the make of your 1060?

Please post the full relevant dmesg entries (see my bug report as an example), at least those of the nouveau module. Only then we can see whether you actually have the same issue as me. This bug is not about loading the firmware, but about initializing the falcon (aka fuc). Apparently, the falcon initialization fails with a timeout. Do you see this timeout in your dmesg logs, too? What do you mean by "always fails"? How often did you actually try? As I have stressed, the problem seems to be there most of the time for me, but about one in 20 reboots actually succeeds, without any binary blob or Windows. It can take quite a lot of attempts. > Just in it's an AIB specific VBIOS issue may I ask what's the make of your > 1060? As I have said in my bug report, I am using the 1060 built into the Clevo P65xHP laptop, and the various parameters are there, too ("01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile 6GB] (rev a1)", "NVIDIA GP106 (136000a1)", "bios: version 86.06.3f.00.16"). I don't know more than that.
This thread seems to discuss the same or a closely related issue: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2017-September/028813.html

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. 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 '26'. 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 26 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.
I am experiencing what appears to be the same issue in Fedora 28, also with a GTX 1060 (as a discrete add-in card to a desktop system). Never saw it under Fedora 27 previously. There is no other GPU or VGA card on the system. At 2160p the system is unusably slow and barely responsive using llvmpipe. Will add dmesg output below...
Created attachment 1430946 [details] dmesg output on F28 desktop system also affected
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 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.
