DE froze with graphic glitches... lots of kernel, drm, and amdgpu entries in journal

[cscs]

Why not kernel 5.14 which is neither 5.15 nor EOL ?
(ok well it is becoming so just now, but is still in manjaro, unlike 5.13)

[Daniel-I]

That’s a good question, and I think the best answer is that I’ve had the most experience on the 5.13 kernel. I recalled there being amdgpu errors in the early 5.14 kernels, so I ended up waiting until 5.14.10 before I updated my kernel, and then there wasn’t another released until the last stable release which also brought 5.15.2 LTS, so I thought I’d try that.

It’s just drive space, so I’ll probably install the 5.14 kernel too

I think my issue lays somewhere between (a) why did VLC sleep the monitors in the first place and (b) the bug post I found concerning failed resumes. I think sleep mixed with video rendering and screen wake-up was a recipe for disaster.

I think tomorrow I’ll try play the video again after I push out my monitor sleep time to 2 hours to see what happens. Although, my monitor sleep time is set for 2 minutes, so not sure why 10+ minutes into the video is when I noticed the blanking.

fun with kernels…

I was having the same in summer 2020, but I had GPU hang events in journalctl and after a few hours running, the PC got complete freeze or GUI freeze (was able to switch to TTY to collect info and to post first on (old) Manjaro forum, and later to post many bug reports on Intel bug report system (I had their CPU and iGPU)).

For me solution was only via hardware fixes: service center made hardware corrections and the PC works well more than 6 months now.

Daniel, I do know, but are there any other GPU driver you can to change to? May be it is driver problem?

---

Also if driver is kernel module, try to change kernel generation (5.15, 5.10, 5.4).

---

With low probability but you can help yourself and others in future if to collect and post your hardware and drivers info you are currently have:

script to collect some general info

This version is obsolete.
Check fixed one in DE froze with graphic glitches... lots of kernel, drm, and amdgpu entries in journal - #19 by Daniel-I

Older version:

echo "lspci of vga controllers:"
echo;

device_selector_list=$(lspci | grep -i "controller" | grep -i "vga" | awk '{print $1}');
foreach device_selector ($(echo "${device_selector_list}"))
  sudo lspci -vvv -s "${device_selector}";
end;

echo "modinfo of their kernel modules:"
echo;

kernel_module_list=$(
  foreach device_selector ($(echo "${device_selector_list}"))
    sudo lspci -k -s "${device_selector}";
  end \
  | grep -i modules | awk '{$1=$2=""; print $0}'
);

foreach kernel_module ($(echo "${kernel_module_list}"))
  foreach module_field_name ("name" "description" "firmware" "depends" "srcversion" "vermagic")
    echo "${module_field_name}: ";
    echo $(sudo modinfo "${kernel_module}" --field "${module_field_name}");
    echo;
  end
  echo;
  echo;
end;

Also, check your GPU temperature. iGPU?

watch -n1 sensors

I think that my issue may was with high temperature for several months period (60…70 C degrees constantly). May be there was low quality components on motherboard.

[Daniel-I]

Thank you for the feedback @alven.

In my slightly blurry camera image upload, I can make out the following from my conky (conveniently frozen in time when the DE corrupted and stopped updating):

• CPU Load @ 2% and CPU Temp @ 38.7xC
• GPU Temp @ 48C, GPU Power at 34W (255W max), GPU Load is harder to read but I think it says 4.1%

And with these numbers I feel the system was not overburdened, over hot, etc… it was very near idle

Here is what the current idle conky output looks like... very similar

Like I mentioned, I delayed moving past kernel 5.13.x initially because of kernel bugs I found related to amdgpu in the early days of kernel 5.14… and it seems (based on the URL shared earlier) that kernel 5.15 is similarly not immune to kernel “regressions” in its early days.

I have never intentionally installed a driver so far on my PC under Manjaro. When I installed Manjaro back in July, I selected the “opensource” driver path and never looked back. Hardware Configuration has always looked this way for me…

… and as far as I know, this is correct for my hardware; but I’m willing to learn otherwise.

I did share my inxi, but when I made a bash script (copy pasted your code into a file where I added #!/bin/bash as the first line), it threw an error…

$ ./alven_script.sh
lspci of vga controllers:

./alven_script.sh: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./alven_script.sh: line 6: `foreach device_selector ($(echo "${device_selector_list}"))'

… hmm, should I try under zsh instead?

@Daniel-I

conveniently frozen in time when the DE corrupted and stopped updating

perhaps, no: typical sequence is: driver error (failure/hang/crash) → video memory has no picture updates → it send to display always the same prev. picture it has in RAM or partial updated with previous artefacts appeared during driver failure → picture looks like frozen or having artefacts.

@Daniel-I

… hmm, should I try under zsh instead?

hm, I tested it only on one PC and with zsh and by direct input into console. OK, let’s forget it, it has low possibility to be useful even with no error occurrence.

[Zesko]

It is the known issue.
Not only VLC, but web browsers Firefox and Vivaldi too when using hardware acceleration.

System frequently crashing after GPU drivers update

I have the same issue now. AMD radeon RX 5700 crashed and froze the whole Desktop after watching Youtube more than 50 min in Vivaldi browser with hardware accelerated.

System frequently crashing after GPU drivers update

There are many different error-logs for the same issue, they contain plasmashell too, I do not think the plasmashell is fault, but browser with AMD driver is.

Working out the cause of system freezes

My system freezes, sometimes a few times a day. There is no obvious pattern that I can see - sometimes the system will freeze while I’m using it, sometimes while I’m AFK, sometimes while the system has been suspended. When the system freezes, usually the keyboard and mouse are no longer powered up, the machine is no longer pingable on the network. I have been checking journalctl -b -1 after these freezes recently, but there is nothing obvious to me there. I have had some hassles with the PCIe …

The similar issue report:

[radeonsi/llvm12/Navi21] Firefox is causing random GPU hangs with ring...

I am waiting for the bugfix Linux Kernel 5.16, if it works.

[Daniel-I]

Thank you for the feedback @Zesko … I was feeling fairly confident my issue was kernel-related, and I’d read that good amdgpu things were coming in linux516, so I’m looking forward to the upcoming fixes being successful.

P.S. I was aware when I installed Manjaro that being on bleeding edge hardware (5600X CPU and 6800XT GPU) was likely going to bring some growing pains… so I’ll stay the course while things are ironed out.

Hmm… so maybe disabling hardware acceleration in VLC/Firefox might be something to explore

[Daniel-I]

I was unaware I could copy/paste multi-line commands into a terminal… I guess that explains all the semicolons between the commands. I switched Konsole’s profile to zsh, copy/pasted, and have the results below…

Hmm… so maybe disabling hardware acceleration in VLC/Firefox might be something to explore

Well, I explored it, and today the same 5 part playlist where the issue triggered (~ two thirds thru 1st video) played all the way through (90+ min) with no monitor sleeping, no corruption, and no errors… pausing the playback once after the 1st video for a quick break…

Although this is a “one time” success, it’s a promising workaround that I hope sees me through to the impending kernel fixes.

I’m going to see if I can duplicate success throughout the week and then select a solution to close the thread. In my opinion, knowing the underlying issue is hardware acceleration related, that a kernel fix is being worked on, and that the workaround until then is to disable hardware acceleration… is something that I find very comforting (feeling it’s not a physical hardware issue).

[cscs]

To be fair, VLC hardware accel, and especially its ‘automatic’ configs have been poor or broken for a long time. I wonder what results you would have with mpv or mplayer or frontends like smplayer.
(I have amdgpu+hwaccel and do not experience the same)

Example thread with linked ones: Vlc does not end process after closed - #2 by airclay

But also … if you wanted to test … 5.16 is available with the patch at least in Unstable Branch.

[alven]

cscs,
could you, please, try to execute script to collect some general info (from the post 4 here) the and to compare results with the post 9 at least internally and to note difference you got? May be collected info could be useful? I do not know, I just make assumptions. (it is zsh, for direct input into terminal). Just feel need to know is it useful or not really. May be we can get some valuable info by comparison.

[Daniel-I]

I wasn’t aware VLC had some issues… used it for years on Windows (although I’m not sure if HWA was enabled there too) and just kept using it on Manjaro.

Also, I noticed there were a few options in VLC (other than “Auto” and “Disable”) for hardware acceleration…

… but who’s to say which option Auto (the default) was picking, which have issues or not, and so I’m okay with trialing the Disable workaround for now. If it fails again I’ll install mpv and give it a whirl.

I’ll continue to try out new kernels as they are released (stable branch) and made available via the Manjaro kernel tool… as building my own kernel is a learning curve I’m not ready for yet

[cscs]

Then it is not a script, and I dont use zsh

…but I can figure out what you want

@alven

foreach device_selector ($(echo "${device_selector_list}"))
  sudo lspci -vvv -s "${device_selector}";
end;

Just a sidenote…

foreach is not available in bash, that is the correct syntax:

for device_selector in $(echo "${device_selector_list}")
do
   sudo lspci -vvv -s "${device_selector}"
done

[Daniel-I]

I’m curious where @alven goes with this, and not that I understand everything that I’m reading, but what stood out to me was differences between my “depends” list

depends: 
gpu-sched,ttm,drm_ttm_helper

… and those that @cscs listed…

@cscs

depends: drm_kms_helper,drm,gpu-sched,ttm,amd_iommu_v2,i2c-algo-bit

… but could that be the difference between kernels (I saw a 5.4 reference) and/or discrete GPU versus integrated/mobile?

[alven]

Daniel,
may be even better if you could try to switch to 5.13 kernel gen and to collect info on the same machine under known-to-be-good kernel version to make comparison (5.15 vs 5.13) to be more relevant?

[Daniel-I]

@alven , you are right… running the script on the 5.13 kernel was interesting…

According to meld, all the differences were at the bottom… kernel as expected, not sure what srcversion is, the order of firmware is different so hard to tell, but real easy to see the differences in the “depends” where kernel 5.13 showed 3 more entries…

3 of the 4 (sans iommu) “missing” items @cscs had are now listed for me too!

So what’s a “depends” entry? Are there times when one gets integrated into the kernel?

---

EDIT: okay I figured out a command (via DDG-university ) to take the space delimited firmware list and convert it to an ordered list with new lines… $ tr ' ' '\012' < 513firmware.txt | sort >> 513firmwaresorted.txt

According to meld, there were no (firmware name) changes concerning my sienna_cichlid card between 5.13 and 5.15, but 5.15 had new additions for amdgpu/beige_goby*, amdgpu/cyan_skillfish*, amdgpu/cyan_skillfish2* and amdgpu/yellow_carp*… here’s a screenie of just one of those “types” from meld:

[Daniel-I]

Trying to learn a bit more about what a “depends” is, I found an interesting article @ How to check kernel module dependencies on Linux… and although it didn’t go deep enough to tell me what the module is to the kernel (in some cases I think a module can be a dependency) or what a depends is to a kernel/module… it sounds to me like the kernel knows what it’s depends are… so it may be normal for one kernel to have less depends than another?

Other than that, I found the commands there interesting… grepping modules.dep was a shorter way to the depends of kernel 5.15…

$ cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep | grep amdgpu
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko.xz: kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/gpu-sched.ko.xz kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_ttm_helper.ko.xz kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko.xz

… although not quite as easy to read.

But I was able to put their (and @alven 's) modinfo command to work to get a very similar output to the script that was sorted…

Then merged that into my own bash script using @alven 's source and @megavolt 's zsh to bash example…

#!/bin/bash

echo

device_selector_list=$(lspci | grep -i "controller" | grep -i "vga" | awk '{print $1}')
for device_selector in $(echo "${device_selector_list}")

  sudo lspci -vvv -s "${device_selector}"
  done

echo "modinfo of their kernel modules:"
echo

kernel_module_list=$(
  for device_selector in $(echo "${device_selector_list}")
    do
    sudo lspci -k -s "${device_selector}"
    done \
  | grep -i modules | awk '{$1=$2=""; print $0}'
)

for kernel_module in $(echo "${kernel_module_list}")

    sudo /sbin/modinfo $kernel_module | grep 'filename:\|description:\|firmware:\|srcversion:\|depends:\|vermagic:' |sort

If to compare Daniel’s outputs 5.13 vs 5.15, I found that 5.15 missed the next values under “depends” field name:

drm_kms_helper
drm
i2c-algo-bit

looks like that modules missing in 5.15. Is it expected result or not I do not know. May be kernel code was refactored or optimized.

Comparison of formatted (by new lines) firmware section shows opposite result: all items which was in 5.13, the 51.5 has + additionally 5.15 has (which missed in 5.13):

Now we know a tiny bit more. But perhaps we went by insufficient way.

May be we need to watch progress on posted bug reports:

@Zesko

It is the known issue.

or
to suggest OP to submit his own report also (may be OP has unique case: same visual effect, but the under-the-hood cause could be different, so by the time of when already posted foreign issues will be fixed, OP could continue to have their issue in case of their possible cause was different).

I stumbled across this thread [PATCH 5.15 000/917] 5.15.3-rc1 review - Greg Kroah-Hartman and found one interesting thing… assuming encoders are tied in with hardware acceleration…

• [PATCH 5.15 209/917] drm/amd/display: Fix null pointer dereference for encoders - Greg Kroah-Hartman

… but even if they are unrelated, I think all the amdgpu and drm related fixes just in that one 15.3-rc list sort of proves that the body of kernel work is always in motion, things are always getting better.

Now I would love to make sure my (and @Zesko 's) issue is known and is being worked on… but I’m a little green, and don’t fully understand everything I read in the kernel notes (or here sometimes) and how it might relate to my issues. For example, is it really a problem when some “depends” are absent from one kernel version to another? Or was it planned?

If I can take the information I posted here and repost it upstream… where would I do that? I figure in the worst case scenario, someone might close it as a duplicate, and I’m okay with that. Or maybe the worst case scenario would be them telling me to redirect the issue to VLC?

But there is also a part of me that thinks that with the new Test build released that stable may be seeing an update soon… and a 5.15.5+ kernel will land to retest the script and VLC with hardware acceleration.

In fact, what I might do in preparation for that is to try duplicate the problem first. Twice I have been able to play my 91 minute video playlist without issue using VLC with hardware acceleration disabled. So, I think I’ll reverse that setting back to auto and see if I can trigger the corruption and errors at least one more time.

If I can’t duplicate the issue… I’m not sure what the next steps are. But if I can duplicate it, then I have a definite test case for all future kernels past 5.15.2… and I think upstream will take anything I post more seriously if I can provide repeatable steps.

EDIT: And I guess I need to remember it was mentioned the “fix” was in kernel 5.16… so I might be waiting a while to run the final test case
