I'm currently running on latest Manjaro XFCE with the 4.15 ker=
nel just
released, and I found that the system would crash when trying to wake up af=
ter
the screen went blank.
The system is an AMD Laptop (ASUS ROG STRIX GL702ZC), and the problem is 10=
0%
reproducible with the following steps:
- Lock the screen, leave the screen blank for at least 3-5 minutes.
- Try wake the screen up, like moving the mouse cursor.
At first I did not find the cause, but after looking into the journalctl I =
was
able to find something that appears to be a kernel panic. It existed since =
the
beginning, with the 4.14 kernel, and remained unsolved even after upgrading=
to
4.15 kernel.

The cause seems to be dce110_vblank_set+0x4f/0xb0 [amdgpu], with the topmost
call trace being dce110_vblank_set+0x4f/0xb0 [amdgpu].
The bug report here, which was closed last December, resembled my current
issue:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2017-November/0162=
36.html
I've thought about the possibility of it being DC-related as I saw similar =
bug
reports, but I was wrong, as at one time I was able to reproduce it even af=
ter
passing amdgpu.dc=3D0 during boot. The modules don't seem to be related, as=
it
happened on fresh installs, where I left the screen blank (before I actually
adjusted power management options) as I let it download and install package=
s I
wanted in the background.
Additionally, I'm able to find some additional errors prior to the crash, w=
hich
might have happened when the screen went blank. It could be done by simply
locking the screen and leave it as is. (NOTE: When I locked the screen and =
then
immediately move the mouse cursor to wake it up, the crash would not occur.=
It
would only occur if the screen went blank for at least 3-5 minutes.)

For now, I could only prevent the panic from happening by not allowing power
saving functions to happen, especially anything that would turn off the scr=
een.
I'm also not allowed to lock the screen it would also blank the screen, and=
the
GTK+ greeter could blank the screen in its own way.=20
However, it's not feasible for running the system on battery for an extended
period without any power saving feature, given the high total TDP the laptop
has, and leaving the system unlocked is a bad idea in terms of security and
privacy.
By the way, given there were a few similar closed bug reports in the past, I
believe the problem might be a regression.
