Hi,
when updating from 5.14 to 5.15 on a system with NVIDIA GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] (NV138) and Ryzen 9 3900XT using kde/plasma on X (not wayland), there is a regression: There is now some annoying black flickering in some applications, for example thunderbird, firefox, or mpv. It mostly happens when scrolling or when playing video. Only the window of the application flickers, not the whole screen. But the flickering is not limited to the scrolled area: for example in firefox the url and bookmark bars flicker, too, not only the web site. I have bisected the issue to this commit:
commit 3e1ad79bf66165bdb2baca3989f9227939241f11 (HEAD) Author: Christian König christian.koenig@amd.com Date: Sun Jun 6 11:50:15 2021 +0200

[TLDR: adding this regression to regzbot; most of this mail is compiled from a few templates paragraphs some of you will have seen aready.]
Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking.
Top-posting for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.
Adding the regression mailing list to the list of recipients, as it should be in the loop for all regressions, as explained here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html
To be sure this issue doesn't fall through the cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, my Linux kernel regression tracking bot:
#regzbot ^introduced 3e1ad79bf66165bdb2baca3989f9227939241f11 #regzbot title drm: nouveau: annoying black flickering in some applications with KDE Plasma with Xorg #regzbot ignore-activity
Reminder: when fixing the issue, please add a 'Link:' tag with the URL to the report (the parent of this mail), then regzbot will automatically mark the regression as resolved once the fix lands in the appropriate tree. For more details about regzbot see footer.
Sending this to everyone that got the initial report, to make all aware of the tracking. I also hope that messages like this motivate people to directly get at least the regression mailing list and ideally even regzbot involved when dealing with regressions, as messages like this wouldn't be needed then.
Don't worry, I'll send further messages wrt to this regression just to the lists (with a tag in the subject so people can filter them away), as long as they are intended just for regzbot. With a bit of luck no such messages will be needed anyway.
Ciao, Thorsten, your Linux kernel regression tracker.
P.S.: As a Linux kernel regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them. Unfortunately therefore I sometimes will get things wrong or miss something important. I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me about it in a public reply. That's in everyone's interest, as what I wrote above might be misleading to everyone reading this; any suggestion I gave they thus might sent someone reading this down the wrong rabbit hole, which none of us wants.
BTW, I have no personal interest in this issue, which is tracked using regzbot, my Linux kernel regression tracking bot (https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/). I'm only posting this mail to get things rolling again and hence don't need to be CC on all further activities wrt to this regression.

Thanks Thorsten for CCing me on your reply.
I was somehow not CCed on the original problem report.

drm/nouveau: always wait for the exclusive fence
Drivers also need to to sync to the exclusive fence when a shared one is present.
Mhm, that is really strange. The patch shouldn't have any functional effect, but just makes an already established rule more straight forward.
Let me double check the code once more.

I'm still scratching my head what's going wrong here.
Either we trigger some performance problem because we now wait twice for submissions or nouveau is doing something very nasty and not syncing it's memory accesses correctly.
Attached is an only compile tested patch which might mitigate the first problem.
But if it's the second then nouveau has a really nasty design issue here and somebody with more background on that driver design needs to take a look.
Please test if that patch changes anything.
Thanks, Christian.

Ben mentioned a few times that fences might be busted but we all have no idea what's actually wrong. So it might be that your change is indeed triggering something which was always broken or something else.

Description sounds a bit like we're doing a clear before Xorg has had a chance to copy the pixmap to the frontbuffer perhaps? That would point to a fencing issue in userspace, and somehow ignoring fences ensures that the Xorg copy/blt completes before we get around to clearing stuff.
I'm assuming we're rendering with glamour, so is nouveau relying on kernel implicit sync or doing it's own fencing in userspace? -Daniel

Looks like the driver is not functional after applying that patch. As soon as the display manager is supposed to start I get a black screen with just a (working) mouse pointer. VT switching doesn't work after that point.
I got the following warning when compiling with that patch applied:
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c: In function ‘nouveau_fence_sync’: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c:362:24: warning: comparison between pointer and integer 362 | for (i = 0; (i < fobj ? fobj->shared_count : 0) && !ret; ++i) { | ^
Below are the relevant portions from dmesg after attempting to run with the patch applied.

There is a pretty obvious typo in there:
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c @@ -359,7 +359,7 @@ nouveau_fence_sync(struct nouveau_bo *nvbo, struct nouveau_channel *chan, bool e fobj = dma_resv_shared_list(resv); }
- for (i = 0; (i < fobj ? fobj->shared_count : 0) && !ret; ++i) { + for (i = 0; i < (fobj ? fobj->shared_count : 0) && !ret; ++i) { struct nouveau_channel *prev = NULL; bool must_wait = true;
With that it works and I don't see the flickering in a short test. I will do more testing, but maybe Dan can test, too.
Cheers, Stefan

Please test if that patch changes anything.
Looks like the driver is not functional after applying that patch. As soon as the display manager is supposed to start I get a black screen with just a (working) mouse pointer. VT switching doesn't work after that point.
I got the following warning when compiling with that patch applied:
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c: In function ‘nouveau_fence_sync’: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c:362:24: warning: comparison between pointer and integer 362 | for (i = 0; (i < fobj ? fobj->shared_count : 0) && !ret; ++i) { | ^
Below are the relevant portions from dmesg after attempting to run with the patch applied.
Cheers,

There is a pretty obvious typo in there:

Cheers, Stefan
After fixing the typo the patch is working for me, also. dmesg is also clean. I will continue running the patched kernel. If I see any issues, I will report back here.

OK, looks good: I have tested it on top of v5.15.5 for a day and no black flickering and no other problems. I am not qualified to review the patch, though.
Thanks for the quick responses to everyone.

Thanks for fixing that stupid typo. I've just send out an updated version to the mailing list with everybody in CC.
Please review and/or comment further.
