Priority: medium Bug ID: 67800 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Computer freezes after idle for several hours with dpms off (trinity) Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: DRI CVS Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
I use Debian 64 bit and now i have the 3.11rc4 kernel installed, with mesa from git, xf86-video-ati from git, libdrm from git, all firmwares put in /lib/firmware. The hardware is A8-5500 desktop APU with its built in 7560D card. The system works very well, opengl, vdpau is functional.
I have xscreensaver set to turn off the monitor after 4 minutes, which it does. I can wake up after a few minutes by moving the mouse or pressing a key.
All is going well until i leave the computer for a longer time (it varies, usually a few hours) - the computer becomes totally unresponsive, doesnt react to keyboard/mouse and network wise is totally dead. The fans are on normally, no disk activity. I have to reset it from the reset button. Nothing out of the ordinary in any logs, they just stop logging, presumably when the computer freezes.
Now if i disable dpms and leave only blanking, this doesnt happen (This is why i think it has to do with the kernel driver), but this mean the monitor is on all the tme which isnt good since the computer runs 24/7.
PS. It didnt happen previously with the fglrx driver in any circumstances.
Any ideas why this might happen?

--- Comment #3 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- So. It seems that dpms isnt the (only) culprit after all. I left it disabled for the night and in the morning the computer was frozen again (the monitor was blanked, but still had signal).

Unfortunately it doesnt solve it. I still get freezes after a few hours of idle.

--- Comment #6 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- I recompiled the kernel (from linus' git) with these patches applied:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-August/043145.html I also disabled C6 state from BIOS.
I had no freezes since then. I still have to test some longer idle times (i had ~3 hours maximum so far), but it seems promising.

--- Comment #7 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- Last night i rebooted and re-activated C6 in the BIOS. Reactivated dpms (turn off display completely after 4 minutes).
It the morning (~7 hours of idle time) the computer works as expected. So it seems that those patches solved this issue. I will test it further for anothey day.
As a sideline, sleep state C6 enabled in the BIOS (versus disabled) lowers the idle temperature of the APU by 2-4 C.

--- Comment #8 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- This bug seems to be gone now in this form after the aforementioned patches were installed.
But now i have random freezes here and there when i am actually working on the computer.
I had it happening during compilation (with 3/4 threads), using the browser (Firefox, Seamonkey) and playback (xv, mplayer).
I never had it happen if i used something opengl related such as games (TF2, DoD) or xbmc. On the other hand xbmc exhibited severe memory leaks occasionally if i used vdpau.
Thermals, at least the ones indicated by sensors dont seem to be a problem - i compiled for hours stuff on it and didnt freeze. And on other occasions it froze after a few minutes. Core temperature was 44C on the last occasion. Temperatures go up to 57C with 3-4 threads and nothing bad happens except thermal throttling (with fglrx i had up to 60C).

--- Comment #9 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- I may have found a crude workaround for the freezing issue. It seems that if i completely disable screensaver (it was turning the monitor off with dpms after 4 minutes) and leave the monitor on permanently works. I now have 1 day uptime.

--- Comment #10 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- It froze after 1 days and 13 hours. Subsequent reboots all ended in freeze in 6-12 hours time.

--- Comment #11 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- Created attachment 84976 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=84976&action=edit netconsole capture until freeze
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67800
--- Comment #12 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- I attached a netconsole capture, maybe it helps.
I set the following kernel command line options
radeon.dpm=1 ignore_loglevel drm.debug=14
drm.debug=15 had too much output, dozens of lines per second.
It doesnt have the boot part because i had to enable netconsole runtime as i use a bridge and it comes up after netconsole wants to begin logging (if i use eth0 it logs until br0 comes up) if i use the kernel command line to set up netconsole.
I have a 17" LCD Monitor connected to the CRT1 connector.

--- Comment #13 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- The freezes are still happening, both with kernel 3.11 stable or the later git versions, mesa 9.2 stable or with the 9.3 devel git.

--- Comment #14 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- Well interesting news. I played around with glamor acceleration, and to my surprise, my computer ran for 2 days and 16 hours or so without problems (did just about everything i do usually - browse, watch movies with vdpau, play games). After that restarted X with exa rendering and the computer froze hard within minutes. Will test this further.

--- Comment #15 from Kertesz Laszlo laszlo.kertesz@gmail.com --- I think this bug can be closed. Using the kernels rc3-rc4 i never had any freezes when the computer was left idle. With rc3 did happen a few times, but all of them happened when somehing was playing in flash player, so might be related to mesa or glamor. Since rc3+, it never froze in any circumstances.
