Priority: medium Bug ID: 77892 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: [RV635] when GPU locks up, reset happens but X is unresponsive except mouse Severity: critical Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: shawn.starr@rogers.com Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: unspecified Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
For a long time now, I don't recall which 3.x broke this but there's been many changes since and now, when the GPU does randomly reset, the display goes blank, X display is restored, but I can only move mouse, cannot interact with X.
Can someone point me to some debugging approaches to see if there's some lock being held somewhere thats causing this?
I am able to ssh into the laptop so, this seems to point to some sort of lock thats not released.
Bisecting radeon drm will be difficult if I have to start from near the beginning of r600g drm support.

--- Comment #1 from Marek Olšák maraeo@gmail.com --- This looks like a deadlock in the kernel. I guess some fence is not signalled during the reset, so GEM_WAIT_IDLE never returns.

--- Comment #2 from Shawn Starr shawn.starr@rogers.com --- How to debug? Do we have a flag to show lock/unlock states so i can try to pair who forgot to release lock? is it X? is it drm driver?

--- Comment #3 from Shawn Starr shawn.starr@rogers.com --- Even as of 3.14 final, this happens, 3.15-rc2 right now is too unstable for me to boot into.

--- Comment #4 from Shawn Starr shawn.starr@rogers.com --- I don't use that dGPU much anymore, closing, and probably a lot of fixes have occurred which may have solved this also.
I haven't tried a recent 4.8 kernel to confirm, but I still could for fun. closing.
