           Summary: Hard GPU hang on nvidia
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)

          drm/nouveau: use static vidshift of 2 on volt 0x30 tables


This already happened here many times.
Just 2D usage of compiz is enough.
I will eventually test if even just 2D usage can trigger this.

I get this in the kernel log:

(Extracted using ram based "black-box", a fixed area in the system memory I
read after a crash.)

System freezes fully.

I might have being lucky with this bug, dunno.
I looked at docomentation at envytools and it mentions that you can't do a tlb
flush while pgraph is running on NV86.

Well, thats known and code contains a workaround.

What I did in addition to that is I took Martin Peres's code that
suspends/resumes pgraph and hooked it into nv84_graph_tlb_flush.
No hangs yet, but that doesn't mean anything yet.

I added this code:

    nv50_graph_pause(dev);
    nv50_vm_flush_engine(dev, 0);
    nv50_graph_unpause(dev);

So PGRAPH is paused when it is supposed to be idle.
Yet, his nv50_graph_pause often complains that:

[18931.100046] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH: PGRAPH paused while running
a ctxprog, NV40_PGRAPH_CTXCTL_0310 = 0x11
[18937.770017] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH: wait for idle fail: 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000101!

Let wait and see, but it could be that I am right and we need to pause PGRAPH
more aggressively here.

What version of Linux kernel do you use? I'm having the same problem with
vanilla kernel v2.6.39-rc6. But there were no problems with v2.6.37 (may be I
haven't tested it enough).

I think, this should be fixed in the kernel (more exactly, in the "nouveau"
kernel driver).

Yes, it indeed pageflip support.
Putting 'return FALSE' in can_exchange fixes the problem, last time I must have
forgot to 'make install' or something.

However, 'Option "PageFlip" "false"' doesn't help, because even if set, the
condition in can_exchange lets flipping in some cases
(if nouveau_exa_pixmap_is_onscreen() == FALSE).
Not sure why that check is there.

@Alexander Potashev - older kernel you describe just doesn't have pageflipping
code, so sure you don't see it on it.

Also note that if game doesn't run full-screen, I can still see rare flickering
with pageflip disabled (with that return FALSE).
Probably as was suggested before, it just exposes the problem that was there
before.

And for a comment that is relevant for this bugreport, I started as a long
endurance test, using 2.6.35.
Will see if it hangs in same way.

I remember that long ago there were no hangs.

Of course that endurance test ended very long ago and lasted maybe 2 hours.
Crashes.

I'll soon will be tackling that at full power as this is the last issue I have
with nouveau (well, I didn't yet fix power usage, but at least I can write the
discovered registers to lower power usage here. Of course I will attempt to
make them apply to other cards, etc...)

I almost solved it! (trival to fix now).

I switched my system to nvidia ctxprog, and Unegine tropics demo which used to
hang after 3~5 minutes or runtime.
Now it already runs for 40 minutes (and I will leave it for few hours) and
compiz is on, I use the system, and I did s2ram cycle with tropics and compiz
was on.
No changes in mesa/other components were done, so its for sure the ctxprog.

I did score my shot in the dark I guess...

In total tropics was running for hour and 30 minutes when I just shut it down.
Last 20 minutes it run with card upclocked to pm level 2.

Now running Heaven benchmark.

So far, so good. No hangs, everything I throw at nouveau works.
Amazing.

For now I'll use this ctxprog + my power saving settings for a week or so to
ensure that there are no crashes.

Then will debug the ctxprog.

So far its just perfect.

 Review: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/review?bug=35876&attachment=50470

fix for stability issues on NV86

Thats all. I have finished the compare process.

Like that or hate that, but in the end the source of so many crashes, data
losses and general suffering,was found to be just one bit,just one bit that
wasn't set by nouveau ctxprog generator in one of ctxvals in per MP state.
(Well my card has 2 MPs, so that would make that 2 bits I guess :-) )

Attached patch was tested by 1/2 hour run of Unegine tropics game.
Unless you have reason to suspect that this bit can break other NV86 cards,
please merge it.

Well, tropics is stable allright, but playing supertuxkat for about 5 laps got
me another freeze. Well... that saga won't end.

Of course that bit that fixes tropics does fix it, but now it seems to be part
of the problem.

Now I once again run closer to nvidia ctxprog. Who knows maybe that will help,
but since stk is not automated, I couldn't test it properly until I implement
automatic driving there that should be very easy to do.

OK, supertuxkart crashes often. I'll say as often as it would take to justify
making it automatic so I could run it in background and not play it as its not
fun to play game too much, especially thi game that I don't like that much.

In fact, I reproduced a hang with latest mesa, no reclocking and nvidia
ctxprog.
(Only thing that was on is power saving magic, but I had these crashes without
it as well, so not likely to be the reason - still will test without it as well
soon).

I somehow suspect that its the combination that makes the crash, so I'll test

Took whole hour of automated STK run.

I attach PFIFO and PGRAPH dumps.

It looks like PFIFO cache error.

In PFIFO dump it appears that game channel was already killed, and it tried
switching to DDX channel.
I have another older dump of PFIFO that, where its not killed, and once again
there is attempt to switch to channel #2 which is for DDX.

In fact channel mapping (which just happens to be this way):

Without compiz:

1 - framebuffer - idle (while in X of course)

2 - xserver EXA - occasional bursts while game runs. on screen panel updates
(clock,etc..) mostly I think

3 - xserver AIGLX - not used at all, as I don't launch such clients
4 - game


With compiz:


1 - framebuffer
2 - xserver EXA
3 - xserver AIGLX

4 - compiz - again, short bursts of activity time after time while game runs,
probably to redraw windows that X clients (the same panel for example) writes
to.

5 - game


Also channel 0 seems not to be used at all, it with channel 127 are sort of
special.

Another PFIFO dump

This time I made sure X doesn't submit anything and thus game channel was the
only channel submitting commands.

Thanks to Marcin Kościelnicki, I understand now that hung PFIFO dumps were just
a consequence of an attempt to execute 'software' command in the command
stream.
These commands indeed cause PFIFO errors, but that is normal as the error
triggers an interrupt and kernel driver handles the error.

In this case software command was used to signal a pageflip, and it was issued
for every full screen 3d application.

However I forgot to mention that I was running kernel nouveau driver with
'msi=1' option, an option that makes hardware use message signaled interrupts
that are known to be broken on several systems because of chipsets bugs or
else.
Due to that in rare case, the interrupt was't delivered to kernel, causing
PFIFO to hang waiting for software to service that interrupt.
When I disabled the 'msi' option, which is disabled by default, the problem
gone and I was able to test run supertuxkart for hour and 50 minutes, and I
actually repeated that test few times with different variations, including
running with nouveau's ctxprog and compiz. I am quite sure (knocks wood) that
problem is gone.


A side note is that I was getting hangs on one small webgl demo the
http://helloracer.com/webgl/, and I was using older version of mesa because
latest had rendering issues (resolved now and believed to be chromium bug
actually). That demo generated a lot of PGRAPH errors (doesn't now) and once
again since each error triggers an interrupt, eventually same hang would
happen.

Also running XV, syncs to VBlank and that also involves interrupts, and I had
in past several hangs while using XV, so I won't be surprised if that was the
cause (I used 'msi' option since it was introduced, and didn't expect this to
happen)

Thats all, and it seems (knocks wood again) that my card is finally stable.

Back to the hangs caused by unegine demos. I reproduced that once more without
my patch of course.

I got:

[10459.780042] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH TLB flush idle timeout fail:
0x00c00603 0x0000014d 0x00005600 0x00000000

[10479.770036] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH TLB flush idle timeout fail:
0x00c00603 0x0000014d 0x00005600 0x00000000

In kernel log. PFIFO appears to be idle, and PGRAPH hung, while its MPs appear
active.

This time it hung after 4 minutes btw.

It really works for me for very very long time. Nouveau here is pretty much uncrashable.
