Bug Description

dmesg output is full of these messages:
NVRM: os_raise_smp_barrier(), invalid context!

Other than the errors being spammed and dmesg being unusable, I do not notice any immediate problems with the nVidia driver.

I am getting this on Ubuntu Maverick x86-64, using 260.19.06 beta nvidia driver, for the following graphics hardware:

I reverted back to Lucid, since this bug seems to screw up suspend/resume badly on the laptop-side, and generally does not look like a good thing. The stable 256.53 driver performs poorly on Maverick and 195.36.24 (really, the last nvidia driver that has been stable for me) only works on Xserver that comes with Lucid.

I downgraded to Lucid on my Dell E6510 laptop, because I need it rock solid/stable with working suspend/resume for my job. Using nvidia driver 195.36.24 + up to date Lucid is very stable for me (E6510 also as the NVS 3100M graphics adapter). Once I saw those NVRM errors with the nvidia 260 beta driver (and no official comments from nvidia about it being adressed) and realized that 256.X was unusable due to performance problems (and also failing suspend) *and* that 195.36.24 doesn't work with xserver 1.9, downgrade was a fact. A pain, yes indeed, but I need stuff that works right now.

Looks like new official nvidia driver release is out .. version is 260.19.12, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html . No mention of anything in changelog about "Linux kernel interaction bug fixes" or the likes. Mostly just lots of additions and new features (doesn't look too promising for those of us suffering from major problems with the latest nvidia drivers). However, it would be cool to know if the new release resolves this bug.

That can make sense for me, since suspend on my Dell E6510 with NVS
3100M hasn't worked properly since (and including) nvidia driver 256.X
(which does not have the invalid barrier context errors). So
suspend/resume can very well be caused by some other problem.

Please consider at least Medium priority for this bug as many people are affected and no workaround except downgrade to Lucid.

Yes, that might also be the case. I haven't tested the very latest
nvidia drivers on 2.6.32-based Lucid kernel.

I'm also having certain stability issues after resume from suspend with
the latest drivers (on Lucid). Sometimes Xorg starts lagging horribly
with long stalls immediately after resume. Switch to console and back
fixes the problem. But I can't say whether that is related to this bug
or not. I filed a bug report at nvnews.net here:

Then make:
sudo update-grub

Suspend/resume should work now

I confirm that on Dell Latitude E6410 with nVidia card the GRUB option "acpi_sleep=nonvs" resolves the resume issue on standard Maverick kernel 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64.

On kernels 2.6.36 this GRUB option isn't necessary and the machine resumes very well.

There is one exception, valid for both 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 kernels (i suspect that for any other kernels as well) resume fails systematically when running on battery power and CPU SpeedStep is enabled in BIOS. This is of course unrelated to this topic. For info and if there is an E6410 owner reading :

I definitively understand the problem.
on i5 cpu systems as mine, if you disable logic cpu all will work fine.

I done:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online

and when I wake up my system all works fine and smooth (flash full screen
videos too)

I tested on vanilla kernel 2.6.36 but I need always to disable/enable
logical cpu on suspend/resume.
I think that it is a kernel related problem cause i5/i7 family seems to not
be full supported on linux kernel (just see turbo boost and C*-state)

hope that this annoying problem will disappear as soon as possible...

My thinkpad t510 does suspend and resume with standard kernel and nvidia
drivers on 10.10, but graphics are slow on resume.

I "adapted" Claudios script and put it in /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_nvidia-hack, so
it automaticlly gets run on suspend and resume.

Now graphics are snappy as on fresh boot, so it seems to be working.

Strange thing is that dmesg claims that in standard setup non-boot cpu's are
disabled on suspend, but that seems not to happen.

Their time machine doesn't work as well as yours. Do you expect them
to put out a new version of their drivers instantaneously every time
there's a new kernel release? Easy cure is to go back a kernel
version. If your hardware is less than a few days old, it won't be a
problem.

I am assuming you mean that disabling hyperthreading logical CPUs help
on these issues ? Well, it does not make much difference here.
Suspend/resume works, but console switch is broken, triggering these
rather scary scheduling errors (and it's still broken when taking
ht-CPUs offline first). And console switch issues can probably affect
suspend/resume in bad ways.

Also tried enabling message signalled interrupt for the nvidia device,
but that does not change anything, so went back to default. I'll be
heading back to 195.X and officially give up until some new nvidia
driver release appears, since the problem is the same across several
kernel releases, up to the very latest.

NVRM: os_raise_smp_barrier(), invalid context! every few seconds.

Every 12 mins or so, my mplayer video slows WAY DOWN (audio continues normal) for 30 seconds, then the video goes really fast and syncs back up with the audio. Seems related to the NVRM problem.

I got many random freezes requiring hard-reset on Jaunty Jackalope systems during anything mildly graphic intensive, including Firefox scroll of a page with a few medium sized pictures. mplayer problem did not happen on that older system.

I get limited freezes on 10.10 (Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.41-generic 2.6.35.7) lasting 45 seconds (Xorg at 100%) when using dual head screensavers.

I have NO suspend/resume problems. (my wife's Jaunty Jakalope suspend does not work)

My NVIDIA card is an ASUS ENGT240 (the infamous GeForce GT240 chipset) using the 260.19.06 driver x86_64.
I tried to install a newer driver but the NVIDIA install script FAILED. The new driver must go into the kernel somehow.
(How do I do that?)
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-27-server x86_64 Ubuntu
MB is ASUS Crosshair III Formula with AMD 790FX/SB750
processor is AMD Phenom II X4 B55 using ASUS unlocked processors from an X2
no over-clocking, just the 2 processor unlocked to 4. Had all SAME problems before the unlock.

I have a Thinkpad W510 with nvidia driver 260.19.26 from xswat, running in amd64 maverick, stock 2.6.35-23 kernel. Whenever I resumed from suspend, I mostly noticed the graphics slowdown while (smooth) scrolling a PDF in evince. A reboot restored graphics performance. After reading this, as well as seemingly duplicate bug #671932, I went and disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS. Voila, no more slowdowns after resume! Haven't tried the 2.6.36 kernel yet (not too sure how) to confirm Claudio Melis's comment that disabling hyperthreading is no longer needed with that kernel.

The hyperthreading workaround (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/671932/comments/6) works for me.

Since I think its more of a driver bug (correct me if I'm wrong) I posted a detailed bug report in the Nvidia forums. It's comment #18 in this thread: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=158172. Just tell me if you want the complete bug report posted here in Launchpad as well.

I think I've solved the problems on my machine. Shat seems to have solved the problem was to add "noacpi" and "noapm" to Grub.

I also ended up upgrading to a 64-bit Maverick and the 260.19.29 driver from the x-swat repository along the way...

I can confirm Øyvind Stegard's report above:
Since upgrading my Maverick AMD64 G210 system yesterday from
nvidia-current (260.19.29-0ubuntu1~xup~maverick3) to 270.18-0ubuntu1~maverick~xup1
my log file is full of the "NVRM: os_raise_smp_barrier(), invalid context!" messages.

I haven't noticed any other ill effects, and in particular my system still suspends to and resumes from RAM without problems. But the log full of error messages is irritating and somewhat worrisome. I originally started using the Ubuntu-X packages to get rid of such errors that the Maverick Nvidia package caused.

I wonder why the Ubuntu-X community decided to package this *beta* 270.18 release rather than the current stable 260.19.36? This decision seems to violate the stated purpose of Ubuntu-X:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-update
"This PPA is for stable upstream releases of X.org components. If you're looking for something even more bleeding-edge, please see the xorg-edgers PPA."

IOW, it would seem that 270.18 should have gone to xorg-edgers, and Ubuntu-X should have gone to 260.19.36 (or simply remained at the previously-released 260.19.29). I guess there's a reason I'm unaware of that Ubuntu-X went straight to the beta 270.18. But it would be nice if they could somehow indicate that it is a *beta* release so that we end-users would be more cautious than usual about upgrading. Could the release be called something like "270.18-0beta-ubuntu1~maverick~xup1"?

It would also be nice if Ubuntu-X could keep 2 versions of released drivers: the current one, and the previous one. That would help people roll back in case of problems like the above.

Tried this. The messages still appear after disabling/enabling
hyperthreading logical processors.. Despite these messages appearing
though, stability seems OK. I can suspend/resume and play
OpenGL-intensive games without issue.

The one thing I cannot do with any newer nvidia driver is enabling
Compiz-vsync, that causes more severe errors to appear and triggers X
freezes and crashes.. Weird.
