Hi Beto,

Did it only crash the one time after running xscreensaver, or does it often/always crash when that's run?

Also, did the system actually lock up after xscreensaver ran? Looks like your system mostly recovered and kept going, does that sound right?

[Beto1917 (beto-mst)]

xscreensaver works fine most of the time. Same bug reappears from time to time, but I cannot reproduce the exact situation to force it to crash... I've set the xsceensaver to show a random pick, perhaps is one particular screensaver that crashes, I can't tell which one though.
System freezes for a couple of seconds, shows the window to report the crash and recovers completely. Ubuntu keeps going normally like a mean bug-dozer!

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Alright, thanks. It would help a ton if you were able to pin it down to a specific screensaver, but this sounds fairly well defined already, and could probably be forwarded upstream.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Beto1917:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/899303

[Problem]
With xscreensaver set to random, once in a while it freezes for a couple seconds, recovers, and then displays the Apport window to report the lockup. The i915_error_state file and dmesg indicate that a GPU lockup occurred, but the system recovered.

Hi Beto,

I notice there hasn't been activity on the upstream bug. Before I re-ping them, let me ask, are you still experiencing these GPU lockups with xscreensaver?

[Beto1917 (beto-mst)]

It didn't happen to me again, but perhaps it was related to a particular screensaver. I'm not 100% sure it's been fixed but I'm pretty sure it has.

Beta, ok thanks. Let's mark the bug fixed, and if it recurs again please feel free to reopen.

[If others are experiencing gpu lockups with xscreensaver, please file new bugs (using ubuntu-bug xorg) rather than reopen Beto's.]

This is likely to be:

commit c501ae7f332cdaf42e31af30b72b4b66cbbb1604
Author: Chris Wilson <email address hidden>
Date: Wed Dec 14 13:57:23 2011 +0100

    drm/i915: Only clear the GPU domains upon a successful finish

    By clearing the GPU read domains before waiting upon the buffer, we run
    the risk of the wait being interrupted and the domains prematurely
    cleared. The next time we attempt to wait upon the buffer (after
    userspace handles the signal), we believe that the buffer is idle and so
    skip the wait.

    There are a number of bugs across all generations which show signs of an
    overly haste reuse of active buffers.

    Such as:

      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29046
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35863
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38952

      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42141

    A couple of those pre-date i915_gem_object_finish_gpu(), so may be
    unrelated (such as a wild write from a userspace command buffer), but
    this does look like a convincing cause for most of those bugs.

Reopening and bumping to kernel team.

User reports not seeing the issue, so perhaps it's already fixed. Still may be worth a review; we've had other reports about lags due to temporary gpu lockups, so this might be relevant still.

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

This fix is now in the 3.2.14 stable update and in the latest precise kernel. If you could test with that kernel and confirm the issue is resolved.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Closing this bug with Won't fix as this kernel / release is no longer supported.
Please feel free to open a new bug report if you're still experiencing this on a newer release (Bionic 18.04.3 / Disco 19.04)
Thanks!
