nouveau DRM GPU lockup, PFIFO unhandled status 0x00800000

[Chad Miller]

Usually seen on large screen transitions, often in browser windows. Display freezes, and processes disappear. klog starts with

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

It affects an essential hardware component (disk controller, built-in networking, video card, keyboard, mouse).

[RickB (rick-777)]

I can't find a workaround. The PC locks up. A reboot is necessary.

[RickB (rick-777)]

To be more specific, the display appears totally frozen and the mouse and keyboard are unusable. I have to press the hard-reset button.

[ejoftheweb (8dward)]

Same or nearly the same bug affects me, with Xubuntu 14.04. Graphics card is GE7300. Thought it might be associated with light-locker switching VT but removing light-locker makes no difference. Only seems to happen when computer is left unattended (thus triggering a screensave situation),

[Alexander Voronin (av1024)]

Affects me since ubuntu 12.04 with Intel+nVidia dual card combination where is impossible to use proprietary driver.

2RickB: Try ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to console for login and reboot. This works for me. Note: do not try restart X via ctrl-alt-backspace before

[RickB (rick-777)]

Depending on how it crashes, ctrl-alt-F1 may or may not work. Obviously, when it works, a clean reboot is possible. When it doesn't work, the machine is entirely hung and only a hard power reset will recover it.

[Ioannis Iliadis - Ilousis (ioannis.ilousis)]

Maybe is needed to try a temporal or a permanent disabling (deactivation) of nouveau driver, by blacklisting the driver. Temporal is done by using the kernel parameter nouveau.blacklist=yes. Permanent is done by adding the line 'blacklist nouveau' in the end of file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

[Erick Brunzell (lbsolost)]

I believe I encountered the same issue while working on bug #1412602 which is unrelated to this bug.

In the process of testing the nouveau driver with an nVidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] chipset on Ubuntu GNOME Trusty with the Utopic HWE and 3.16.0-31-generic from trusty-proposed I experienced what I'd call a soft-lockup (I could still move the mouse pointer but all else was unresponsive) and after a minute or two the screen went basically blank with this message sprawled across the screen:

[ 1328.076012] BUG: soft lockup - GPU#0 stuck for 21sf [gnome-shell:1740]

After reboot I found a crash report in /var/log/crash but it was unreportable, the details say:

This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed.

EOF Error('Compressed file ended before the end-of-stream marker was reached',)

I'm attaching a picture of the screen during freeze.

[Ilia Mirkin (imirkin)]

Somehow gnome-shell is able to convince nouveau to do something very dumb. I didn't even think this was possible... libdrm is supposed to de-dup these, no?

[Arjen-x (arjen-x)]

I'm also getting the same errors since april 1st:

Just before the 1st crash I upgrade mesa:

[2015-04-01 09:55] [ALPM] upgraded mesa (10.5.1-2 -> 10.5.2-1)

Versions:
Kernel 3.19.2-1-ARCH

mesa 10.5.2-1
Gnome 3.14.2

So I think this is mesa related, and not related to Gnome 3.16.

[Ilia Mirkin (imirkin)]

I'm guessing all you guys have libdrm-2.4.60 -- can you try downgrading to libdrm-2.4.59?

[Renato Garcia (renatao-garcia)]

I have the same issue and can confirm that downgrading
from libdrm-2.4.60 to libdrm-2.4.59 seems to stop the issue from
happening as there are no more hangs.

ArchLinux bug report (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44680) suggests an additional reproduction method "when I move my mouse over VLC's seekbar and it shows a small tooltip to show the time gnome-shell freezes".

[Ilia Mirkin (imirkin)]

My favourite is "run mplayer with vdpau, then move the window". I arrived at that one by accident, but that repros it 100%. No compositors or anything like that.

[b (ben-ekran)]

This seems to be happening to me also on 14.04, GeForce 6600 AGP, Nouveau. I'm now going to try and add "nomodeset" to my kernel options and see if that helps (as suggested here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/205021/how-to-solve-gpu-lockup-switching-to-software-fbcon-on-new-install-of-12-10)

[b (ben-ekran)]

Scratch that; turning off modesetting seems to disable Nouveau.

[Skeggsb (skeggsb)]

I just push a commit[1] to libdrm which should fix this issue.

I can confirm that this fixes my repro case (move mplayer vdpau window around). I knew it was something relating to named bo's, so good to see that the fix also involved those.

[Simon John (sej7278)]

affects me too on debian scratch/sid.

all the "fixes" from google appear to be disable nouveau (nomodeset) and install the proprietary drivers, which isn't helpful.

i can still ssh into the box, but anything that was running a gui has crashed (defunct), here's some output i got in dmesg:

jounralctl events when gnome-shell freezes

Gnome version is 3.14.4-2-fc21. I had reported this event to the gnome team #749128; they referred me here. I had initiated a download in firefox when this freeze occurred but i have experienced it in other applications

[Joev-8450 (joev-8450)]

In closer review of the thread above I checked on downgrading libdrm from 2.4.60. In my installation yum tells me I need to also downgrade libdrm-devel and apparently the downgrade version is 2.4.58 rather than 2.4.59. Is that what you recommend?

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

I never get it with chromium, but I do with mplayer when the window size is
larger than a quarter of my screen. Not reliable reproduction. Seems to be
a race that happens once every 30 minutes or so at that size.

Joe, are you on the Fedora 22 bet? If so, an update will be going out soon. You can get it immediately from https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-7930/libdrm-2.4.61-3.fc22

This is version 2.4.61, which fixes the regression. If you're not on F22, I expect updates will be coming soon. In the meantime, go ahead and downgrade to whatever works.

[Joev-8450 (joev-8450)]

Matthew, actually I'm on fedora 21 so I will downgrade libdrm, libdrm-devel to 2.4.58 and await the update to 2.4.61 in the normal distribution. thanks.

[Simon John (sej7278)]

i can't see the problem is xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1.0.11-1 though, as the package hasn't been updated in 8 months and i've only had the problem the last few weeks.

i assume its one of the libdrm* userspace packages which seem to have had 3-4 new versions during march/april

[Simon John (sej7278)]

kernel 4.0.0 has the same issue, so its not kernel-bound and its not a screensaver issue as it tends to happen to me when using google chrome viewing youtube for some reason (but not every time and not exclusively when using chrome).

[Marko Hrastovec (marko-hrastovec)]

According to this post https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89842 the libdrm should be downgraded to 2.4.58.

[Marko Hrastovec (marko-hrastovec)]

I can trigger the bug with docky anytime I want. Just move quickly through Docky icons with the mouse cursor (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docky/+bug/1451379). I a few seconds the screen will freeze. Most of the times I have to wait for about 30 seconds. I can switch to text (Alt + Ctrl + F1) in the meantime and see that gnome-shell occupies the computer 100%. Nouveau driver writes lots of lines into syslog at the same time. But sometimes everything freezes and only hard reset helps.

It starts like that:

I too am experiencing the issue described in this ticket. It is affecting 6 machines all running Fedora 21. They generally hang around 2-3 times a day. Is there going to be an update to 2.4.61 pushed for Fedora 21 at some point?

i've seen crashes with iceweasel and mplayer, so its not just chrome (on debian)

Gnome 3.14.0-1

when manipulating Gnome tray

See the error log produced by journalctl when manipulating Gnome tray.

[Ilia Mirkin (imirkin)]

This is fixed by not using libdrm 2.4.60 which was a buggy release on the nouveau end. libdrm 2.4.59 or libdrm 2.4.61 should work fine.

[Joev-8450 (joev-8450)]

... at this point I'm inferring there will not be upgraded versions of libdrm, libdrm-devel for fc21? I did downgrade my laptop from 2.4.60 to 2.4.58 in Jun as noted below. I'm guessing the fix really is to go to fc22. I ask because now my desktop is also experiencing these freeze ups tho not in the frequency that others have reported.

Chad Miller, as per http://www.msi.com/support/mb/P67AC43.html#down-bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.J). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.
