Description Tony Cook 2021-05-04 06:11:27 UTC
Description of problem:
Display freezes and after a long pause returns to the login screen

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0:21.1.1-1.fc34

How reproducible:
Just use a few applications and pretty soon, BINGO!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No specific steps, just use the GUI and launch enough apps, usually Google Chrome and a few sites displayed seems to be sufficient.
2. Crapola
3. 

Actual results:
Display freezes

Expected results:
Display has no need to freeze, nothing special required other than that.

Comment 1 Olivier Fourdan 2021-05-04 06:28:51 UTC
The retrace you point out is a problem with the nouveau DRI driver in Mesa.

Comment 2 Tony Cook 2021-05-04 06:47:54 UTC
That wouldn't surprise me at all, in fact because I have two machines running Fedora 34 and only the one equipped with the Nvidia hardware does this I kinda expected it would be associated. Interestingly I only started using the nouveau driver because the proprietary driver was cocking up too and of course there is nothing to report when that one fails. The Nvidia driver corrupts the screen with mouse pointers and god knows what other bits of odd pixels. Oh well, just trying to do my bit.

Comment 3 Tony Cook 2021-05-04 06:50:53 UTC
The Fedora bugreport tool suggested that in addition to sending it to them that I should put in a bugzilla report too. If you think this is pointless I am quite happy not to bother in the future.

OT, but FWIW the issues with NVidia closed source driver and Xwayland using EGLStream are being worked out, see bug 1949415 or the issue upstream https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1156 and the merge request https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/646

> Oh well, just trying to do my bit.

Oh sure, appreciated! I am just moving the bug where I believe it belongs (and there are a few other similar bugs),

No bother at all, just regular triaging. All bugs should be filled.

Comment 5 Karol Herbst 2021-05-04 07:43:12 UTC
mind adding what GPU you have and if there is anything specific you know which might trigger the bug more frequently?

Comment 6 Tony Cook 2021-05-04 07:52:09 UTC
Video streaming appears to be an instigating factor, probably just because the total video throughput goes up I expect.

ahh yeah... especially if it's video accelerated, so that is _most_ likley the multithreading issue we still have in nouveau (and I am working on). So if you have multiple contexts within one application (even GL + VDPAU) you can run into data corruption and GPUs crashing because of random garbage in the command stream... maybe it's just two GL contexts or something.. not quite sure yet.

but could also be a red herring and just a random issue...

did you do the video acceleration steps to get the firmware installed or is that essentially with a stock installation?

Comment 8 Tony Cook 2021-05-04 08:01:04 UTC
Bog standard. I normally use the proprietary driver to get the VDPAU extensions. Never tried with the nouveau

yeah.. nvm.. I just tried it with my GTX 660 and I hit at least some bug. Not sure if it's the same as yours :)

I got something like this inside dmesg:

as your machine doens't seem to actually crash, can you paste your "dmesg" or a "journalctl --dmesg" output from the current boot if the issue already happend? And if it only happened last boot you can pass "boot -1" to journalctl to get older logs (or any other number, depending on when it happened)

Comment 11 Karol Herbst 2021-05-06 19:47:21 UTC
So I looked into this issue with my GK106 a bit and was just hitting a known "firmware" related issue where if we use the nvidias firmware it's all going better. But the way I triggered this issue very fast was to just open chromium and resize it for a couple of seconds and it would crash quite fast.

Mind trying something as well? Because if that's also triggering the issue for you, we could check if using nvidias firmware helps as well on your gk104 and then I'd at least know what issue you are hitting here.

Comment 12 Tony Cook 2021-05-07 05:52:11 UTC
Well after your previous remarks made me aware that I could still have some measure of hardware acceleration whist using nouveau I found out how you did it and used the tools to extract the firmware from an older Nvidia driver and copied them to where they would be found. After that I still had exactly the same failures as before, can't say if it is better, maybe it is a bit better but in the end it still crapped out the same way.

the issue is, that you'd also need to adjust dracut and force those files to be included into the initramfs. So mind checking dmesg if you have any firmware loading issues?

The painful part about this issue is just, that if it takes hours to trigger it's just annoying to debug :( Do you know if the error messages near those "scheduled for recovery" messages are usually the same or are they always different? Maybe you entire dmesg log could help me figure something out.

Mind sharing the dmesg.xz from "journalctl --dmesg --no-hostname --boot all | grep nouveau | xz > dmesg.xz"? (I used xz because otherwise I get a 100MB file on my machine here).

This is how I know that the firmware is now being loaded:

firstly used to get:
May 03 15:15:59 Athol kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nve4_fuc084 failed with error -2

May 03 15:15:59 Athol kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: msvld: init failed, -19

after placing the firmware in /lib/firmware/nouveau that no longer occurs

secondly vainfo now gives the following, showing hardware support for some video modes:

oh, I think I just wasn't clear enough the last time. I meant different firmware which you enable by using nouveau.config=NvGrUseFW=1 and this loads even more firmware from the nvidia driver.

Comment 16 Tony Cook 2021-05-07 14:52:16 UTC
Haha, I see you are a wise in the ways of GPU. No, I am not familiar with the more arcane powers available to the nouveau elite.

Comment 17 Tony Cook 2021-05-07 14:53:47 UTC
Where exactly do you place this incantation?

Comment 18 Karol Herbst 2021-05-07 15:04:36 UTC
(In reply to Tony Cook from comment #17)
> Where exactly do you place this incantation?

it's a kernel module parameter. Either add it as a kernel parameter or as a modprobe file as "options nouveau config=NvGrUseFW=1" (+regenerate initramfs and such)

Comment 19 Tony Cook 2021-05-07 15:09:43 UTC
It's been a while but I found where the kernel parameters go these days and added it, unfortunately it gives:

[    2.691662] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nve4_fuc409c failed with error -2
[    2.691680] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/fuc409c failed with error -2
[    2.691683] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: failed to load fuc409c

I checked and the firmware blob nve4_fuc409c is in /lib/firmware/nouveau, so what next?

yeah.. I am not sure why those files are not picked up automatically. I've created a file for dracut to add them on my gk106. You'd need to replace nve6 with nve4 and to regenerate with "dracut -f"

> $ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/nouveau_fw.conf

> All done, now waiting for outcome

yeah.. good luck with that. If it helps it would indicate that the firmware issue is indeed more widespread than initially believed to be. It at least would explain why you are hitting the bug.

I think for most subsystems it's without the p, not sure.. docs might be outdated.. mostly I just enable debugging for everything and then you get also the proper channel names.

I have bad news I'm afraid. Since loading the firmware as you suggested I have had no further occurrences of anything untoward with the behaviour of the display. I have now been up continuously since starting at 2021-05-12 05:01:54 UTC and dmesg yields exactly what it did at that time. Now, maybe some other update outside of nouveau has had this effect, perhaps I should revert to bare metal and nouveau to see what happens then.

okay, thanks for testing! Well, I wouldn't say it's bad news, it could explain a lot of other random issues we are seeing and we can now assume that this issue doesn't only affect gk106, which was weird from the start, but can potentially affect all 1st gen kepler cards. I will try to take a look and see if there is anything weird in our firmware.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
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
'version' of '34'.

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

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 27 Ben Cotton 2022-06-07 19:59:10 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 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.

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