[sandybridge-gt2] GPU lockup using xvmc (Render IPEHR: 0x02000004)

[Fred Flinnstone]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I've started vdr-sxfe with video driver xvmc. After first start the screen gone on and off a couple of times, after half a minute crash. After second start the pc locked up, only hard reset helped.

It is a known issue under KMS.

won't support xvmc on 915 under KMS

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi, can you elaborate a bit on how you're encountering the bug? Your description is a bit short on details... Have you had other instances of GPU freezes on natty or just this one time? Is this a fresh install or have you run previous versions of Ubuntu on this hardware? If so, did you have freezes like this on maverick? Are you able to reproducibly or semi-reproducibly cause the freeze to occur? If you can make it occur reliably, try booting Classic Desktop (No Effects) and see if you can make it occur there as well.

[Fred Flinnstone (flinnstone-fred)]

Hi,
i am currently removing every PPA's from the system and see, if I can reproduce it. It was a fresh install of natty on this system.
My hardware is a Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H-B3 with i5 2500K CPU 8 GB RAM (512 assigned to on-board graphics) 2TB HDD.
Have to compile some packages from sources, since the vdr-plugins are incompatible with the VDR version in natty (bug #762558).
I need an hour, I'll be back ;)

[Fred Flinnstone (flinnstone-fred)]

It was a bit complicated, but finished somehow... No change in behavior. The output of vdr-sxfe and syslog are attached.
I'm using the classic desktop, but i can't find anymore the setting to activate/deactivate the effects???
I'm becoming sporadically following entries *without* running vdr-sxfe:

Apr 21 16:52:19 Supernova kernel: [ 670.372831] [drm:i915_hangcheck_ring_idle] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... blt ring idle [waiting on 265235, at 265235], missed IRQ?
Apr 21 16:52:50 Supernova kernel: [ 701.102505] [drm:i915_hangcheck_ring_idle] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... blt ring idle [waiting on 295130, at 295130], missed IRQ?

but apparently these errors doesn't have any effects and are not reproducible (yet)... If you need further information, let me know. Thanks!

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

They removed that page from the appearance dialog :-/ however from the login screen you can select "Classic Desktop (No Effects)".

Those hangcheck timer elapsed errors are generic error messages indicating the gpu has hung in some fashion. Sometimes it is able to recover, in which case you won't see any noticeable effect.

What I'm wondering is if you have a video driver contesting the gpu with i915 (a common issue it seems).

I think this bug report probably should go upstream. But one thing to test, try disabling the i915 driver when you start things up (pass the kernel the option i915.disable=1).

[Fred Flinnstone (flinnstone-fred)]

Without effects no lockups, but also no video output. Disabling i915 brings a desktop with 1280x1024, can't set 720p resolution and still no video output. Dmesg attached.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hmm, bummer that didn't turn up anything useful. Well, one other possible thing to try. There's another hangtimer check failed bug for this hardware, bug #761065, which has a fix identified. Try booting this kernel:

http://people.canonical.com/~acelan/bugs/lp753189/

If that doesn't fix it, then try this kernel:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next-proposed/

[Fred Flinnstone (flinnstone-fred)]

Hi,

I'm a bit afraid of exchanging the kernel, 'cause I'm not a pro... If the system does not boot anymore, I can't get it fixed :( I know, it is possible to install and boot different versions of the kernel, but I forgot how to bind them into the grub-menu (I don't even have a boot menu at all this time). If you can help me out, I would happily try those new kernels. Many thanx in advance.

[Fred Flinnstone (flinnstone-fred)]

While watching tv with vdr-sxfe and xv video driver, I've got following entries in syslog:

Apr 27 20:51:47 Supernova kernel: [ 912.313745] [drm:i915_hangcheck_ring_idle] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... blt ring idle [waiting on 448397, at 448397], missed IRQ?
Apr 27 20:52:10 Supernova kernel: [ 934.542892] [drm:i915_hangcheck_ring_idle] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... blt ring idle [waiting on 457347, at 457347], missed IRQ?
Apr 27 20:54:55 Supernova kernel: [ 1099.236105] [drm:i915_hangcheck_ring_idle] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... blt ring idle [waiting on 554961, at 554961], missed IRQ?

Shouldn't be it for example "waiting on 448398, at 448397"? Or what are those numbers? Just an idea... Multithreading problem with 4 cores? Uncle Jim Beam out... ;)

[Fred Flinnstone (flinnstone-fred)]

Perhaps I found something:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23012
It doesn't looks good... But now I'm trying the latest Intel drivers and vaapi.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hey flinnstone-fred,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

Fred Flinnstone, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Maverick reached EOL on April 10, 2012.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the text:
needs-upstream-testing

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

The SNB xvmc support never was and should not have claimed to exist...
