10de:1c8c [MSI] Module nouveau fails to manage GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile

[Etienne URBAH]

Trying to use 'Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile' with 'Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful)' :

- Linux kernel 4.13.0-16 from 'Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful)' systematically fails (1 CPU stuck).

- Linux kernel 4.14.0-041400rc7 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline seems to succeed.

See attached kern.log

After reboot on Linux kernel 4.13.0-16 with nouveau blacklisted :

$ lspci -nn -v -s 1:0.0

Hello,

I have a Dell XPS 15 9560 with a GTX 1050 Mobile (GP107M) and an Intel Kabylake CPU. Using Kernel 4.11.3 on the Arch installer image, whenever I run 'lspci', it blocks indefinitely and never prints any output.

After running lspci, dmesg contains:

[ 54.819264] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3
[ 54.879968] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3
[ 54.879973] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3
[ 54.879974] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: resuming object tree...

Eventually the scheduler gets cranky about the hung process and starts spewing
[ 245.385522] INFO: task lspci:576 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
and a backtrace every 2 minutes.

Blacklisting nouveau makes lspci work.

[Ilia Mirkin (imirkin)]

I believe including a full dmesg (from boot) would be helpful to show what may be going wrong.

Note that running with nouveau.runpm=0 will prevent the suspend from happening. However that will, of course, cause the GPU to remain on. [I believe it will remain on without nouveau loading as well, but with this new PCIe PM stuff, I'm not sure anymore.]

[Peter Wu (lekensteyn)]

With the "new PCIe PM stuff", if nouveau is not loaded and something else enabled automatic runtime PM (via powertop, via TLP or manually by writing "auto" to /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../power/control) for the Nvidia PCI devices, then indeed the problematic ACPI methods could be triggered.

Kenneth, can you upload your acpidump?
sudo pacman -S acpidump && sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt

Most likely you are affected by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156341

[Karolherbst-g (karolherbst-g)]

this is because lspci reads the config file, which then triggers a full GPU wake up, which is a silly thing to do in the first place.

What we need is something like this in the kernel: https://github.com/karolherbst/linux/commit/cb918e4c926990dfcfce92e1ecd905e0896de605 and then make use of those in userspace, so that we don't need to read config every time anymore.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1729736

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Etienne URBAH (eurbah)]

With nouveau enabled in Linux kernel 4.13.0-16 on GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile], 'lspci' systematically makes nouveau fail (1 CPU stuck), and returns nothing.

This is the reason why I could NOT submit this issue using 'apport-bug', and why 'apport-collect' returns nothing.

But I can try other commands permitting to obtain relevant information.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.14 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Etienne URBAH (eurbah)]

Concerning the support of Nvidia GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] by the 'nouveau' module of Linux kernels :

- Before kernel v4.12, it was NOT supported at all.

- Beginning with kernel v4.12, I could NOT install Ubuntu 17.10 Beta at all, so I suppose that the current issue was present.

- After reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1723619/comments/24
   I succeeded installing Unbuntu 17.10 Artful with following addition at the end of the boot line :
   modprobe.blacklist=nouveau -- modprobe.blacklist=nouveau

With Linux kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline :

- I already wrote that Linux kernel 4.14.0-041400rc7 seems to succeed.

- I just tested Linux kernel 4.14.0-041400rc8 : Systematically, as soon as I try 'lspci -nn -v -s 1:0.0', the whole machine immediately freezes. That is a regression compared to v4.14-rc7.

[Etienne URBAH (eurbah)]

I am trying to use 'nouveau' with GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile].

With Linux Kernel 4.13.0-16 from Ubuntu 17.10 Artful, 'lspci' systematically makes immediately 1 CPU freeze.

Therefore, I am testing Linux kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline

With Linux kernel 4.14.0-rc7, this issue does NOT show up :

With Linux kernel 4.14.0-rc8, 'lspci' systematically makes immediately the whole computer freeze.

With Linux kernel 4.14.0 (released yesterday), 'lspci' systematically fails to answer, and makes the whole computer freeze after some time.

So, there is probably a regression.

I have also reported this issue at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1729736

[Pierre-morrow (pierre-morrow)]

@Étienne Could you please provide the information that was asked in comment #1 and comment #2 of this bug report? Adding `nouveau.runpm=0` to the kernel command line should avoid the freeze but will prevent the NVIDIA card from being suspended.
Looking at the bug report mentioned in comment #2, could you try booting with `acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"` and/or `acpi_rev_override=5` on the kernel command line (without `nouveau.runpm=0`)?

lspci for GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile]

Lot of thanks to Pierre Moreau for his suggestions of options in the kernel command line :

- Adding just 'nouveau.runpm=0' prevents the whole machine to freeze, but 'nouveau' FAILS to manage an external display with resolution 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz through DisplayPort.

- Adding just 'acpi_rev_override=5' does NOT prevent the whole machine to freeze.

- Adding just 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"' permits 'lspci' to succeed, and 'nouveau' to successfully manage an external display with resolution 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz through DisplayPort.

With Linux kernel 4.17.0-041700rc1 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline, I confirm that systematically :

Any new information required?

dmesg from thinkpad x1 extreme / GTX 1050 Ti on kernel 4.20 with hybrid graphics

I may be blind but I haven't seen anyone attaching full dmesg output, sorry if I missed it.

The laptop in question is Thinkpad X1 Extreme with NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] (rev a1). It has a BIOS setting to switch between "Hybrid" and "Discrete only" graphics.

This dmesg output is from a boot with "Hybrid" graphics, where running 'lspci' hangs and causes the system fans to spin. X server hangs on start too (using modesetting DDX)

Created attachment 143032
dmesg from thinkpad x1 extreme / GTX 1050 Ti on kernel 4.20 with discrete only graphics

Not sure if that helps with the diagnostics, but on the same Thinkpad X1 Extreme laptop with "Discrete only" BIOS setting, lspci works fine, X starts and works, but there's a timeout logged by nouveau.
