Bug ID: 94708 Summary: Open source radeon drivers not working properly with Radeon HD 8550M Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: markotikvic@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
I have a Lenovo laptop with hybrid AMD/Intel graphics cards. I would like to use the discrete Radeon card for heavy rendering operations such as game development and gaming. Output of xrandr --listproviders: Provider 0: id: 0x76 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:Intel Provider 1: id: 0x4f cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 1 name:radeon But I get lower fps when I run games with discrete GPU: xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink radeon Intel env DRI_PRIME=1 <game> <- results in barely 20 fps for Dota 2 than if I run them with integrated Intel's card: env DRI_PRIME=0 <game> <- results in 50-60 fps for Dota 2 The output of DRI_PRIME=0 glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer' is: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile and the ouput of DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer' is: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD HAINAN
From dmesg I can see this error occuring after starting the game with
DRI_PRIME=1 flag set: [ 1406.107887] [drm] probing gen 2 caps for device 8086:9c18 = 5323c42/0 [ 1406.107892] [drm] PCIE gen 2 link speeds already enabled [ 1406.110997] [drm] PCIE GART of 1024M enabled (table at 0x0000000000040000).

I know the GPU is being used because the vgaswitcheroo shows it as DynPwr when I run apps with it.
What I would expect to see is performance AT LEAST as good as integrated GPU, instead I get a very bad performance. The poor perfomance is also observable when I run Unity 3D editor (with DRI_PRIME=1) in terms of screen tearing and system freezing. I also tried running the game with vblank_mode=0 option but it had no effect on performance.
The scenario is similar with any app I run with DRI_PRIME=1 and it's mostly noticeable with screen tearing.
Kernel version: Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-1 (2016-03-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have searched tons of forum threads and websites and I couldn't find a solution (there were some similar open and unresolved threads but nothing useful), so I turn to you for some hardcore professional help. Is there anything I can try to fix this? Oh, I also tried using LXDE desktop but it made no difference, the problems were the same. Let me know if you need other logs and outputs in order to figure this thing out. I am more than happy to help.
Thank you in advance, Marko.
P.S. Forgive me if I've post this to the wrong package thread but it definitely has something to do with DRI/radeon/xserver package(s).

--- Comment #4 from Marko Tikvic markotikvic@gmail.com --- I haven't tried turning off dynamic power management during boot time. Just in case I edit that line, does that mean that I would have to start DPM manually if I want to use discrete GPU?
Thanks for replying btw.

dynpm != dpm. dynpm controls whether the dGPU is powered down when not in use or not. dpm dynamically adjusts the clocks on the GPU based on load.

gears is not a good test for PRIME systems. It basically tests how fast the driver can swap buffers. With PRIME the dGPU rendered buffers ends up getting copied several times before getting to the IGP.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94708
--- Comment #14 from Marko Tikvic markotikvic@gmail.com --- I was about to say the same thing about gears. I see now that I have not mentioned another issue when using discrete card: If I play a video in browser or with a media player and go to full screen I can clearly see some image corruption bellow or over the main diagonal (imagine picture being made of two triangles). The problem is more severe as more pixels need to be rendered, on still portions of video the corruption is not as visible.
I assume not many people can dedicate their time to solving this so I will keep posting here as new kernel and driver packages versions get uploaded to debian repos.

Dear Alex, Thank you for your reply. Could you please tell me a test I can run to verify this issue? I tried also glmark2 and glxspheres64, none of which showing better results. Also when gaming this behaviour is observable. Cheers, Arthur

--- Comment #20 from Arthur Hrast Essenfelder arthur.essenfelder@gmail.com --- Ok, so I've managed to get my discrete GPU running by disabling DPM (by adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="radeon.dpm=0" to the grub configuration file). Then, I was able to run a game using DRI_PRIME=1 and use the full power of my GPU.
I'm uploading some files to show the results of the two cases (radeon.dpm=0 and radeon.dpm=1), and also the full dmesg of both runs. Note that when DPM is enabled, the GPU load gets stuck at 100%, even if it is capable of performing way better.
The problem I'm facing now is that the computer gets way hotter when disabling DPM, even when idle. In any case, hope this results can help somehow.
Cheers, Arthur

How to apply the patch?
if you are using git, just: git am <patch file>
if you are not using git, in your kernel source tree: patch -p1 -i <patch file>
Then rebuild and re-install the kernel.

Created attachment 123503 [details] [review] possible fix
Does the attached patch help?
Sorry for taking some time to reply. I had to re-compile and re-install the kernel (never done it before, so I had to look up how to do it under Fedora).
Anyways, the patch does not seem to have fix the problem. It did, however, point me to a possible cause of the problem.
I've discovered that if I remove the laptop from the power source, leaving it on battery, and then plug the power cord in again, I can start applications using DRI_PRIME=1 and the GPU won't get stuck at 100% usage. If I don't force this power state change (battery -- power cord), the GPU will get stuck at 100% usage.
This is true for both the original kernel-4.4.8-300.fc23.x86_64 and the patched version. Also, since I am running the session with radeon.dpm=1, the GPU is not heating up and the fan is running at normal speed.
If you need, I can upload the dmesg of these tests. Again, hope this can help somehow. Cheers, Arthur
