Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

I suffered from high-frequent freezes as well (ca every 20min in avg.) but since i disabled the display compositing of my windows manager (xfce) i had no GPU hangs in the last 2 days.

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

I'm watching for proper fix for this issue for quite some time for 5.4 kernel, it's not yet ready, however, this helped me to solve hangs on Skylake system for two weeks now (modesetting and intel x11 drivers): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/inte … ote_376308
I compile my own kernels, but if You want, try this revert until it gets solved properly.

Edit: NVM, it crashed on day 13, so it's not a fix

Same problem. Rolled back to 5.3.0-arch1.

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

Just for the record, I have what I believe to be the same problem still with kernel 5.4.13-arch1-1

$ journalctl -xb-1
Jan 20 22:30:51 <hostname> kernel: Linux version 5.4.13-arch1-1 (linux@archlinux) (gcc version 9.2.0 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 17 Jan 2020 23:09:54 +0000

Can confirm that this is still an issue in kernel 5.4.14-arch1-1.

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

Does adding the option i915.enable_dc=0 have any effect on 5.4.14-arch1-1 ?

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

Upgraded to linux-mainline (5.5.0-1) with

intel_idle.max_cstate=1 i915.enable_dc=0

kernel options - no more hangs but many still many freeze ups that don't even show up in journalctl anymore. Trying to play with few more kernel parameters but it seem futile at this point - will report if I find something. 

In the meantime there are some suggestions in the upstream thread: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/673 though nothing has worked for me so far. Glad to get rid of full on hangs though!

What is the latest kernel version unaffected by this bug AFAYK?

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

5.5 should (generally, seems there are some outliers here and there) fix what has been discussed here initially.

There seem to be some other factors than just the GPU, FWIW I haven't been able to reproduce any of this on my skylake based Acer V (granted I did not yet extensively use 5.4 I was out of date for a while due to projects)

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

Confirm that kernel  5.4.15 is affected by the issue at i7-8750H. But I have very rare (about 1 per day) freezes maybe because of  DRI option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

You should try without xf86-video-intel and that config file. It does have a few known issues that might stem from it.

Thanks for your reply. I have very strange image colors without  xf86-video-intel and that config file. It's something like brown filter applied or like redshift is on with very red temperature.

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

For what it's worth, I haven't had any bugs since I moved to Wayland a month ago, and stopped using chromium on xwayland. Other less resource intensive x11 apps do not trigger this issue.

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

I am having the same problem; here is my error log:

an 30 07:40:13 ArchSys kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: GPU HANG: ecode 9:1:0x00000000, hang on rcs0
Jan 30 07:40:13 ArchSys kernel: GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace.

Jan 30 07:40:21 ArchSys kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: Resetting rcs0 for hang on rcs0

I managed to capture an actual crash dump yesterday, since for some reason for the first time the system was able to recover without hanging.

A couple of things that I observed:

1) 100% of crashes happen while I am browsing with Qutebrowser; it seems many people are crashing while using Chromium.  As far as I understand, these share some aspects of a rendering engine (QtWebEngine?).  Maybe there is a connection?  Of course, this can be just misleading: I spend 90% of my computer time on Qutebrowser or typing things

2) A moderator asked me why I use the intel driver rather than the modesetting driver; I don't know how to change the driver I am using.  I was using xf86-video-intel but I uninstalled it and deleted the 20-intel.conf file that configured it some time ago.  Is there anything else I should have done?

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

I've started seeing the same issue (hard hang with an oops in the i915 module, which I did manage to capture). 

I found this bug report which seems like the exact issue; just thought it would be worth posting here as I didn't see anyone else reference it yet.

I think there might be more than one bug, because I downgraded to 5.3 and I just got an hang a few minutes ago. The bug report you linked talks about 5.4+.

Yeah, agreed, in fact I shouldn't have highjacked this thread with a 5.4 issue, but someone already did and I forgot the OP was talking about 5.3.  Maybe it will still be useful.

Re: i915 Skylake GPU hangs with kernel 5.3.11

@merc68k that issue is fixed in 5.5 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … 99fd1721ed
Edit:
It is not fixed in 5.4 as no backport has been submitted https://lore.kernel.org/stable/15783126 … kroah.com/

I've been suffering with intel related bugs for 5 years now. My previous notebook had the CPU hang issue, this one the GPU. I'm really looking towards AMD as well.

This is very similar to my experience. Vast majority of crashes / hangs happen when using Chromium, although I may have had one or two instances when using Slack. Like you, I spend 90% of my time in these two applications so this may be misleading. However hangs very often seemed to be a direct result of an action in Chromium - clicking on a link, opening new tab, switching tabs, etc. Finally I got tired of forced reboots twice a day and I switched to using Firefox some 7-10 days ago. I'm still on kernel 5.4.15 but I haven't had any hangs since the switch. Don't know if this is a coincidence, dumb luck, or whatever else, but I'll take it.

I use Firefox and I also experience the crashes. But I think it's also relevant that I have layers.acceleration.force-enabled=true (ie, hardware acceleration enabled).
