kernel log

I've encountered an easily reproducible segfault using the Firefox OS emulator while I was hacking the said operating. The Firefox OS emulator [1] is a fork of the Android emulator which is in turn a fork of qemu. In both cases the graphics part is untouched so it might be possible to reproduce the same issue in qemu even though I didn't have the time to try it.

Here's my full STR:

1) Build the Firefox OS emulator using the emulator-x86-kk target device ( git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G.git ; cd B2G ; ./config.sh emulator-x86-kk ; ./build.sh )
2) Launch it from the tree using the run-emulator.sh script
3) Once Firefox OS has started quickly click on any application and keep clicking on buttons / input boxes / etc... The segfault will normally happen in a matter of seconds

I've reproduced the bug both on Fedora 22 and Gentoo so it doesn't look like distro-specific, these are the versions number taken from my Gentoo installation:

xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11
libdrm 2.4.59
mesa 10.3.7
xorg-server 1.16.4
kernel 4.0.5

I've captured a stack trace of the segfault with gdb:

I'm attaching the kernel log and the X log. Those may be "polluted" by other stuff as my machine has been running for some time since I've hit the bug. I'll try to provide cleaner ones right after I hit the bug. If more detailed information is needed (e.g. a backtrace with finer-grained debug information, etc...) I can provide it given some time to gather it.

FYI, latest Mesa release is 11.0.3. 10.4 was branched out in December 2014 (though it did receive some additional fixes up to March 2015), so you might want to try at least 10.6.x, or even better, 11.0.x.

This is a long-standing and utterly undiagnosed issue. Somehow an invalid command manages to make it onto the pushbuf. [A command as in a FIFO command, like "BEGIN_NV04" style, not like the actual data being fed to the engine.]

There has never been a reproducible way of triggering it. Only seems to happen on tesla GPUs. Either something *very* subtle is going on in mesa, or we're driving the hardware wrong, or... who knows.

Search around for 406040 -- tons of bugs open about this.

NV94 is a tesla. Tesla is G80:MCP89 (aka nv50 family).

If you can make an apitrace that repros it for you consistently on replay that'd be incredibly useful. However I suspect there's more to it and a plain apitrace won't be able to repro the issue.

Right, my bad, I've got confused with the actual Tesla card.

I gave it a spin today and the trace I gathered doesn't crash when replaying as you suggested. The bottom of the trace contains an incomplete glFlush() call followed by a glDrawArrays() which is also incomplete. I'll try grabbing more traces in the hope of finding one that reproduces the crash.

Alternatively if you have the appropriate hardware to reproduce I can walk you through how to build this stuff and reproduce yourself (it's a procedure that might take a few hours though, the full Firefox OS emulator build is *large*).

I believe that error should be fixed by the kernel patch at the end of bug #92504. However I don't think that's your main issue. Still, worth giving it a shot.

Separately, some very subtle fence-related issues should be fixed in the soon-to-be-released Mesa 11.0.4 (or mesa's master branch). Again, don't think they're the root cause of your problems, but... wouldn't hurt to try.

Thanks for the tip. From the comments in that bug I should be able to test that patch in the 4.3+ kernels. I'm rolling my own build so I can try that out as soon as I have some spare time. I'll also try mesa 11.0.4 when it will be available in portage (which should be shortly after release).

I'd also like to do another experiment: traces gathered with apitrace always end up with the seg-faulting command and always work fine when repeating them - possibly because the last command needs to be fully executed to cause the problem. I'll try gathering a much longer trace using the software render and then try to replay that one with apitrace to see if I can trigger the bug. Alternatively this might be a race condition of some sort (I can see in the trace that there's at least 4 threads calling GL commands); possibly re-executing the trace a lot of times might trigger it sooner or later.

I'll report back if I find anything useful.

Quick update, I'm on mesa 11.0.4 now and the issue is still present but it manifests itself differently: when I hit the issue I can still see the error messages being dumped into the kernel log but the application isn't seg-faulting anymore. I'm not sure if this is good or bad; it does help with my use-case as things keep running afterwards but it might make this bug harder to track.

I have no idea what this code is supposed to be doing, but here's what I can infer:

The call to pushbuf_kref crashes because the `struct nouveau_bo *bo` argument is NULL, and cli_push_get tries to use it. The caller of pushbuf_kref, pushbuf_validate, is iterating over a list of brefs; the current bref's bo field is NULL.

This bref was created by nouveau_bufctx_refn, which was passed a NULL `bo` argument. Its caller is nvc0_add_resident, which was passed a `struct nv04_resource *` whose `bo` field is NULL.

This nv04_resource was created by a call to nouveau_buffer_create in which buffer->domain is never set to anything other than 0. Looking at nouveau_buffer_allocate, it seems like a domain of zero is a legitimate value; the last branch of the if-else chain asserts that this is the case. Since that path doesn't set buf->bo, it seems it's legitimate for buf->bo to be NULL.

pushbuf_kref seems adamant that bo should be non-NULL; both cli_push_get and cli_kref_get require it. At this point I'm lost: should nouveau_bufctx_refn never be passed a NULL bo? Should such a bufref never make it onto the list that pushbuf_validate sees? I'm not sure.

Here's the stack trace at the call to nouveau_bufctx_refn:

Whoa, great analysis! And makes a *ton* more sense than my thought, which was that the GPU hung and we ran out of GEM handles making pushbufs.

So this is one of those idiotic bo-less resources. Ugh. Will check if your repro makes it happen for me too.

I'm a little worried about how that buffer object came to be. It suggests we're missing some PIPE_BIND_* flags somewhere, or something is creating a buffer without any bind flags set. Can you look at the resource's "bind" property and see what it is?

You really should try the tarballs on rust-lang.org. It's not as nice as a package, but it's straightforward enough for a one-shot activity like this.

Thanks for looking into this! I still get segfaults. The entry in extension_table for GL_ARB_direct_state_access is:

   { "GL_ARB_draw_buffers", o(dummy_true), GL, 2002 },

so I don't think that env var setting will do anything, just stick the name in cant_disable_extensions. I infer from the error message in get_extension_override that it's a permanently enabled extension.

(OT: I think in many ways Rust is ready for prime time, but the project has only begun to try to take into account distributions' needs. Check this out: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/perfecting-rust-packaging/2623)

Oh blast, you're right. Can't disable GL_ARB_direct_state_access, since it's o(dummy_true). Try this mesa patch, which should fix it (but might break things on nv30... need to figure that out).

Err, I meant, it's the line above that:

   { "GL_ARB_direct_state_access", o(dummy_true), GLC, 2014 },

Okay, cool. Building Mesa from source isn't something I can dive into right now, but I'm hoping I'll have more time for this project in the near future. (I tried just whacking the domain value into *buffer with GDB and seeing if the code could proceed, but optimized code foiled me.)

You can change your application to pretend that GL_ARB_direct_state_access isn't enabled, which should prevent it from using glCreateBuffers() and the glNamedBuffer* calls.

Should be easy enough to modify src/context/extensions.rs by e.g. introducing a typo into the GL_ARB_direct_state_access string. Or doing a fixup after-the-fact.

[As an aside, in src/buffer/alloc.rs, you appear to have at least one instance that only checks for GL4.5 and not the ext as well... oops? I'd personally recommend never checking for explicit GL versions and only looking at the exts. You can also set the ext bools based on the GL versions.

    if ctxt.version >= &Version(Api::Gl, 4, 5) {
        ctxt.gl.NamedBufferSubData(self.id, offset_bytes as ...

If it build again given libdrm{,-nouveau} version it should work. Bugs on the other hand are something that occasionally exist.

Which version (sha) is the above libdrm-nouveau ? Can you disassemble at the given offset ?

Most likely the emulator is doing GL stuff from different threads, which doesn't work with nouveau. Sorry :(

Yes, the emulator seems to be calling GL commands from multiple threads, or at least the traces I got seemed to have different thread identifiers for different commands.

Unfortunately nouveau doesn't protect against concurrency and when multiple threads call into the GL simultaneously, will fall flat on its face.

Fixing this is on my todo list... but my todo list is long, and this is a tricky task to do so as not to pessimize the 99.99% use-case of single-threaded GL usage.

We should sanity-check the correctness of the eglMakeCurrent call in Mir src/server/graphics/nested/display_buffer.cpp:62

But other than that, it seems to be purely a nouveau bug.

It's possible qtmir might be messing up with an incorrect 'this' pointer to the Mir DisplayBuffer. But I think much more likely that it's a nouveau driver bug. If it wasn't then we'd be seeing similar crashes with intel and radeon, but we don't.

I guess even with a single display, multi-threaded apps like the web browser could still trigger this nouveau crash or similar by rendering from multiple threads.

There's a comment here suggesting the same crash might also happen in some processes like webbrowser-app even under Unity7:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-desktop-session/+bug/1595238/comments/15
which further supports the theory.

Based on upstream's comment https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92438#c39 I would expect nouveau to continue to crash under both multi-monitor and other multi-threaded rendering conditions (like webbrowser-app?).

I'm not sure this is useful to assign to that milestone. The bug and the fix are in the nouveau driver.

Although each GL client could work around it by moving all their GL rendering to a single thread, we really shouldn't have to do that just to support nouveau.

I have Qt configured (in QtUbuntu/QtMir) to use multi-threaded GL rendering, so we're probably hitting Nouveau's limitations here.

As workaround, I can add code to QtUbuntu/QtMir use single-threaded GL for Nouveau.

If this is easily reproduced, can you try

initctl set-env --global QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic

and see if everything is more stable? If so, the workaround should do the trick

Regardless of whether you have a single GPU or multiple GPUs, using OpenGL is a matter of "send it commands quickly and then forget (the GPU will complete them later)". So I'm not sure why QSG would bother with multi-threading GL at all. Similarly Mir doesn't really need to do the multi-threaded compositing it does, but most days it doesn't hurt us.

Per comment #17 it might actually be easiest to build a workaround in Mir for now... Either disable secondary compositor threads, or build a SingleThreadedCompositor to replace MultiThreadedCompositor.

In my spare time I'm working on an idea where post() could be made non-blocking. So that would eliminate the need for Mir's compositor to be threaded, and nouveau should then work (as well as it ever did for X).

Even easier workaround for Mir/USC: Just default to clone mode instead of side-by-side, which is the problem in today's duplicate bug 1672793. Mir's legacy clone mode will at least ensure there is only one compositor thread, so nouveau should be stable then.

I made an attempt at a workaround for nouveau crashes today (and discovered more nouveau bugs).

I can confirm with mir-demos that forcing the compositor into single-threaded mode makes it stable. The only problem is the unity-system-compositor option for doing this gets ignored (Unity8 overrides the display config to suit itself when it sees a second display). So you can't apply the workaround yourself.

So yes, medium term we could work around some of the nouveau stability issues by hacking Mir/USC/Unity8 to only use single threaded rendering. But that requires code changes in multiple places.

I suggest a short-term workaround that should do the trick is:
  1. Unplug all but one monitor; and
  2. Add to /etc/environment: QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic

Sadly I can't even test that much myself, because of bug 1677125.

The nouveau isn't threadsafe and the Qt renderer uses threaded GL by default.

We don't know if Mir's default renderer would also exhibit the same issue when running multimonitor. (The Mir renderer uses a thread per monitor, but this is a simpler usage pattern than Qt and may not manifest problems.)
