Description Saikat Guha 2008-11-27 21:46:24 UTC
Description of problem:
I am having a hard time tracking why occasionally (once a day seemingly at random) Xorg completely freezes. It happens non-deterministically when I scroll firefox; the length of the scroll, or the mode of scrolling (PgDn or scrollbar dragging) doesn't seem to matter, and it is ofcourse incredibly hard to reproduce. I have not experienced this with any other application.

After Xorg freezes, there is no repainting of the display. The mouse cursor can still move around, but clicking has no visible effect. Nor does the keyboard have any visible effect.

I can connect to the host from a different computer. The backtrace for X is as below. It seems stuck in the syscall; killing Xorg has no effect. Rebooting the host resumes normal operation.

Xorg.0.log

Note: There are no errors in Xorg.0.log, dmesg or /var/log/messages when the problem occurs.  If I strace the Xorg process when X freezes, it appears to respond to keyboard and mouse activity, but there is not other activity.

Comment 8 Luis Villa 2009-02-26 06:17:30 UTC
This happens to me 4-5 times a day on my thinkpad X41t with 915GM chipset. I have not gdb'd to confirm 100%, but symptoms are exactly the same- scrolling or clicking in firefox (sometimes tab switching, it appears?) leads to a mouse cursor that moves, and a system which can be ssh'd to, but which accepts no clicks from mouse or text entry from keyboard.

This is a high severity bug, per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity: "Problem due to crashes, loss of data, severe memory, leak, etc." and should be marked as such.

Comment 9 John Foderaro 2009-03-08 11:41:04 UTC
I encounter this quite often as well and I have lost work due to it.

It happens often, at least once a day and more if I'm heavily using Firefox.
I cannot remember it failing on a system that hasn't been through a Suspend state at least once, but most of the time I'm using a system that's been suspended at least once so that may not be significant.

It usually happens when running Firefox but the last time (a few minutes ago) it happened while running vi (with Firefox running but not the active window).  In this case rather than the screen freezing the screen went black with horizontal rectangles of color seemingly vibrating on the screen.  Again no keyboard command was recognized.

Comment 10 Mace Moneta 2009-03-08 21:53:56 UTC
After the last round of (rawhide) updates, I've now gone 25 hours without an X lockup.  It's the longest I've gone so far.  Software versions:

Comment 13 Mace Moneta 2009-03-15 19:52:31 UTC
This has become such an annoyance that I've switched to the vesa driver on my G45/X4500HD.  Even though vesa doesn't support 1920x1200 (apparently maxes at 1600x1200), it's preferable to the multiple X lockups a day.  I have to assume that no developers are actually running the intel driver on modern hardware (as opposed to a virtual machine) or this bug would be receiving more attention.

I did find I could switch to vesa without a reboot with this procedure, if anyone is interested:

1- ssh to the X hung system, su to root
2- telinit 3
3- killall -9 Xorg
4- vbetool post
5- cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf
6- telinit 5

In step 5, I just used a default generated xorg.conf, with the driver switched to 'vesa' from 'intel'.

While I can get the vesa driver to start this way, the intel driver won't start without an actual reboot (that too seems broken).

If there's any reason to believe the intel driver is stable enough for retesting, please update this bug.

Comment 14 John Foderaro 2009-03-18 01:35:00 UTC
Froze for me three times yesterday, losing critical information on one freeze.  Different applications being run when the freeze happened but scrolling may be the common factor.

Note that I ran Fedora 8 on this same hardware and never had this problem.  I never ran Fedora 9 so I only know the bug was introduced after Fedora 8.

Fedora now reminds me of Windows 3.1 in terms of stability.   This driver should be marked as non-functional until a fix is found.

Please raise the Severity of this bug  (and hopefully the Priority will then raise as well).

Comment 15 Saikat Guha 2009-03-18 01:52:31 UTC
[+cc: krh, airlied, katzj]

I am the original reporter of the bug. I am still experiencing the problem on Rawhide now. F10 was released with this bug, and there has been no developer activity on this bug for the last 5 months. Given critical data loss, I would like to request Blocker status for F11.

Comment 16 Mace Moneta 2009-04-08 13:24:12 UTC
This appears to be resolved now (for me) in rawhide:

Running with KMS and no xorg.conf (UXA).

Comment 17 Luis Villa 2009-04-14 00:48:26 UTC
Can anyone else confirm no longer seeing this in rawhide? that's enough to get me to upgrade...

Comment 18 Saikat Guha 2009-04-14 02:23:35 UTC
Oh, you most definitely don't want to upgrade to rawhide with your X41T.
bug 489938, bug 489907, and bug 489892 means I cannot close my laptop X41T lid, dock the laptop, or disable KMS.

Basically I am getting a max uptime of 3 hours with my X41T. Firefox freezing is a moot point in rawhide for me. Although, YMMV.

Comment 19 James Cassell 2009-04-14 11:44:39 UTC
I am having a similar problem, but I'm not sure it's the same one.  Basically, I can reproduce this every time I do the following:

1. Open Firefox, or Gnome Help
2. Select some text
3. drag the text, such that the copy icon is the cursor

at this point, the cursor stays like that, and clicks have no effect, I can't switch to a VT, and ctrl+alt+del doesn't do anything.  I seem to have to do a hard power-off.


I'm running on a ThinkPad T61 with nVidia Quadro NVS 140m.  I have all rawhide updates installed as of the time of this posting.


Should I open a separate bug for this?

Comment 20 Charles R. Anderson 2009-04-14 12:57:22 UTC
Maybe this bug is related to bug #474624 ?  Can you try a 2.6.29-based F10 kernel from koji and boot with 'pci=msi' and see if your problems disappear?  Try this kernel here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=96454

Comment 21 Luis Villa 2009-04-21 00:58:35 UTC
This does not seem to be the same bug as 474624; specifically, there is no 'interrupt storm' and it doesn't happen randomly- it always happens when dragging or otherwise moving the cursor in firefox. (Nor have I seen any SATA or irq errors, but I haven't been looking very hard.)

(Anyone have any thoughts on rawhide ATM? I'm getting really, really sick of rebooting 2-3 times a day because of this.)

Comment 22 Luis Villa 2009-04-22 13:34:34 UTC
Never mind that question about rawhide; particularly bug 489907 would seem to make it unusable for me on this hardware right now. It pains me that when I reinstall XP today for my exams I'll have made my computer *more* stable. That's really embarassing. :(

Comment 23 Chris Ball 2009-04-22 19:27:16 UTC
Just a workaround hint -- the hang being in drmIoctl() suggests that it would go away if you disabled DRM, which probably wasn't doing much for you on the early Intel chipsets anyway.

Of course, the bug still needs to be fixed, and I might be wrong about the DRM causation.

Comment 24 Luis Villa 2009-04-22 20:12:00 UTC
I'll figure out how to disable DRM and report back as soon as I can (probably not until Friday given that I'd have to go a day or two without a hang to actually confirm that is a workaround.)

In the meantime, I'd note that: 
"Of course, the bug still needs to be fixed"

is not necessarily true; it'd be a perfectly legitimate choice on RH's part to say 'there is an entirely new driver for this HW in F11 so we've chosen not to expend resources on fixing the old driver. Sorry.' possibly followed by 'if upstream fixes it, we'd be happy to package and ship that.' If that is actually the case, though, it'd be best to be up front about this, WONTFIX this bug, and tell people to focus their energies upstream or on workarounds rather than wondering when this will be fixed in F10.

Comment 25 Adam Williamson 2009-04-22 20:25:52 UTC
Um...the bug's currently set to RAWHIDE, I was working on the assumption it's current in Rawhide. Saikat, how are things for you at present?

Due to other rawhide bugs, my laptop needs to be rebooted every ~3 hours; since this bug takes ~1-2 days to manifest itself, I cannot test it on rawhide.

Comment #19 however states that this bug exists in rawhide as of 4/14/09.

Comment 27 Adam Williamson 2009-04-22 21:50:33 UTC
is that actually the same bug? the description sounds somewhat different.

Comment 28 Saikat Guha 2009-04-22 21:57:26 UTC
Hmm. I don't know. The original bug is very non-deterministic, while comment 19 sounds deterministic. James, would it be possible to get a backtrace? Or anyone else on rawhide who had the bug originally?

Comment 29 Luis Villa 2009-04-22 22:59:46 UTC
Adam, I was going on the grounds of comment #16 (by Mace Moneta) in saying it wasn't a rawhide issue. I can't confirm/deny since I haven't installed rawhide because of Saikat's comments.

For those following along at home, do *not* use NoDRI; that hangs almost immediately (never gets through GDM) rather than hanging every several hours. ;)

Comment 30 Mace Moneta 2009-04-22 23:08:21 UTC
While this problem doesn't occur in rawhide, there's a similar issue when running KMS+UXA (Bug 496516).  You can boot with nomodeset and run X with EXA and it's stable.  At least for my G45/X4500HD systems.

my problems was actually bug 489101

It has been solved by an update to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.

Comment 32 John Foderaro 2009-04-23 10:33:20 UTC
If a possible fix is made I'd be willing to try it (Fedora 10, 64 bit core2 duo, sony TZ-150N laptop)

I can usually get it to fail by 1. suspending to memory, 2. unsuspending, and 3. viewing twitter.com in Firefox and scrolling.

It fails in other instances as well but this one seems the most reproducable.

Comment 33 Adam Jackson 2009-04-23 14:17:47 UTC
For anyone casually reading this bug and wondering if it's the same one you're seeing: if you don't have Intel 915 or 945 hardware, then the answer is no.

Comment 34 Adam Jackson 2009-04-23 14:33:48 UTC
So what's happening here, at least according to the initial backtrace, is that we're attempting to copy some data back into host memory so the CPU can access it, and in order to do so we're trying to wait for the GPU to complete whatever rendering it's currently doing.  We emit a DRM command that should tell the GPU to send an interrupt when it's gone idle, and then emit another DRM command to wait until we get that interrupt.  The problem is that the wait command is hanging forever, for some as yet unknown reason.  Either the chip really is wedged, or there's some logic error in the DRM preventing us from waking up.

Note that this path _only_ happens with EXA.  When using KMS, UXA is the default, so you should never hit this.  Bug 496516 (which happens with UXA) is superficially similar in that it looks like a lockup, but it's a fundamentally different failure mode.  That bug happens as we're trying to _start_ rendering something, this one happens when we're trying to make sure it's completed.

Comment 35 Adam Williamson 2009-04-23 18:14:04 UTC
Just to clarify a salient point from Adam's comment: what this means is that the bug exists in both F10 and Rawhide, but is mostly hidden in Rawhide because we're now defaulting to KMS / UXA. However, if you ran Rawhide with 'nomodeset', you could still hit this bug.

GPU hangs (X cursor moves but nothing responds) need intel_gpu_dump output for debugging.

Comment 37 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 09:58:04 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

I have to reboot my system to clear the errors as well as get functionality back to my desktop.

Yes please elevate this issue to the highest level.

Comment 41 Adam Williamson 2009-06-30 08:24:20 UTC
yours appears to be a different issue, going by your output. please file a new bug. Do you use any 3D applications, or the 3D desktop?

Comment 42 Rick Retterer 2009-06-30 13:40:51 UTC
Adam - Yes, I was using cairo-dock Opengl when this error was occurring.

Comment 43 Adam Williamson 2009-06-30 14:57:48 UTC
figures. yes, file a new bug (and check if it happens without using cairo-dock, and include that info in the new bug).

Comment 44 Georgi Hristozov 2009-07-02 17:41:40 UTC
The bug occurs on my Toshiba Satellite A200. I have GM965 and use the i915 module. Sometimes it crashes when scrolling in Firefox, but the bug seems to trigger when using other applications as well - like gxine. This morning I left my notebook for 30-40 minutes and when I came back it had crashed in exactly the same way. Only the mouse is moveable when this crash occurs, the whole graphic environment is "frozen" like a static image. When I switch to virtual terminals and back to X, the whole screen is white and only the cursor is there, still moving.

Before F11 was released I was running rawhide and everything was OK. But I made a big upgrade after the stable release and now the bug occurs 5-6 times a day. I have updated all the xorg related packages and I don't using anything from the testing repo.

Comment 45 John Foderaro 2009-08-21 13:48:25 UTC
 I have lately be restarting my laptop each time I begin serious work rather than depending on closing the lid and suspending it and un-suspending it before work.
 
 If I run my Sony Vaio VGN-TZ150N in this way I've not seen the bug.  However it's not convenient to have to reboot each time.
 
 If everyone on this CC list went to this bug report and voted for this bug using all their available votes then it may have enough votes to get the attention of someone who could fix it or come up with a workaround until it's fixed.

Comment 46 Adam Williamson 2009-08-21 16:01:03 UTC
No-one pays any attention to vote counts at present, they're not used for anything. I'm not entirely convinced these are all the same problem, actually. I think at least one cause for one of this type of problem was discussed on -devel-list and fixed a few months back.

Comment 48 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:20:42 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Comment 49 Mace Moneta 2009-11-30 06:07:59 UTC
This appears to be resolved in F12.

Comment 50 Adam Williamson 2009-12-01 20:13:02 UTC
we can probably close the report, then, as not much work is likely to be done on f11's intel any more, unfortunately.

This problem happens in Fedora 16...
Once in a while during scrolling in Firefox, the system hangs, nothing except reboot works. Nothing shows up in dmesg or var/log/messages.
Is there a fix?

Comment 52 Adam Williamson 2012-01-31 00:08:45 UTC
almost certainly not the same bug. this was an ancient bug in the intel graphics driver. much better to file a new report for your issue.

well no.i had to look into other more pressing matters and didn't get a  chance to do so. Actually I had forgotten about this and recently have switched to Opensuse 12.1 because Fedora 16 support for ATI Radeon X2300 is crappy. I tried to set up the proprietary drivers for ATI (because the opensource drivers had heat up issues) but didn't work even after a lot of tweaks.
You can file a new bug report because I don't have a Fedora 16 system anymore. Sorry.
