Subject: Severe reproducible nouveau breakage in 2.6.36 (and maybe .35)
Hi all-
Somewhere between 2.6.34-fedora-whatever and 2.6.36, Nouveau became
extremely broken on my hardware. It appears to be triggered by a bug
in my monitor (HP LP2475w), which causes the monitor to disappear from
DVI when it goes to sleep. Every time the console blanks (in X or
otherwise AFAICT) the system crashes oddly but unrecoverably. This is
100% reproducible by Ctrl-Alt-F2 followed by 'echo 1
>/sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank' *from SSH* and waiting a few seconds
for the monitor to go to sleep, but it also happens if I just walk
away from the computer long enough for it to blank itself. This is
present on F14's kernel and on 2.6.36 from kernel.org. This may or
may not be related to the unreproducible crashes that I used to get
rarely on 2.6.34.
The symptoms are:
- netconsole becomes very unreliable. (This makes it rather hard to
get any good debugging info because I don't have a real serial port.)
- system doesn't answer pings. userspace seems dead as well.
- capslock will work intermittently
- the lockup detector doesn't say anything.
- After a few seconds, the system thinks that the tsc is massively
unstable and switches clocksources. (I think this is because the
clocksource watchdog fails to schedule for awhile and then somehow
ends up running and thinking it detected a clocksource failure.)
- SysRq-c will give me my console back and spew (useless?) garbage.
Usually it also causes a panic and I get nothing else out of the
system.
The most recent time I triggered this, I got an amazing amount of
console spew about unexpected NMIs. None of it made it to serial
console, and the part left on the screen was so far down as to be
pretty much useless. lockdep shows nothing interesting (or at least
nothing interesting that stays on the screen long enough for me to
read).
The best hint I have is from this patch (sorry for whitespace damage):
