[Solved] kernel: [drm:gen9_set_dc_state [i915]] *ERROR*

[EDIT!]  My only solution was to blacklist (install /bin/true) the i915 module as it was loading sometimes with the errors listed below even though I never use, nor have I ever used, the onboard graphics chip. [/edit]

..and similar. Just recently I've begun receiving error messages when booting up, not EVERY boot, but most of the time. And when I do receive these errors I notice a significant change in performance. I may be searching the internet for the wrong thing but in doing so i've not really come up with anything to help me clear them up. There are usually a lot more, this is just one chunk I copy/pasted.  Some times I can go 2 or three days without these messages but most of the time its every day.

These errors began happening around the introduction of the 5.4 kernel, currently on 5.5.2, but when running 5.4.15 it rarely if ever happened. I do not know if it matters but I do NOT use onboard graphics, but an nvidia 1070 GTX card.  Below is a snippet of the errors, for full dmesg see:  https://pastebin.com/Gzn9tDTc

You have not included the kernel version or the full dmesg output which would include it or details of the GPU hardware.

You're right, I'm sorry. I should have waited until I could get that from home. Will update in a couple hours. My apologies.

EDITED original post to include full dmesg, and kernel info.

Re: [Solved] kernel: [drm:gen9_set_dc_state [i915]] *ERROR*

The dmesg was still incomplete possibly it overflowed the ring buffer.  You can extract it from the journal journal or add the boot option log_buf_len=2M.
The warnings are coming from the i915 driver used by the integrated GPU which seems strange if it is not being used.

Forgive the multiple pastes, but pastbin only allowed 500ish bytes per paste. I used journalctl --since to pull the entire dmesg from last night's boot when the errors occured. They are broken into three parts, and they are in order:

https://pastebin.com/Uwq6r4c8

This is a clean boot, no errors or issues, from this morning before work.

Hope this helps. Thanks again for your time and trouble, loqs

Edit:
As the integrated GPU is not being used what if you blacklist the i915 module?
Normally I would suggest reporting the issue upstream but as the system uses the nvidia driver it is classed as tainted and not support by upstream.

Good morning. I saw your post last night, before the "EDIT" and I thought maybe disabling the onboard gpu and setting "primary display" in "bios" to PCIe might fix it. Well, it worked fine last night but got the errors again this morning as I type this. I came back to this thread initially to ask if there was a way to blacklist the module i915 without it breaking anything else.

That being said, thank you for the suggestion and I'll give that a try when I get to work and see how that goes. Thank you again for your time.

Re: [Solved] kernel: [drm:gen9_set_dc_state [i915]] *ERROR*

Well, I blacklisted (install /bin/true that is because it was loading anyway from dependency I suppose) and obviously no more error. Is that ONLY use of that i915 module for onboard graphics?  If so I'll update this thread as [solved] and move on with my life. lol

Yes the i915 is solely for the integrated Intel GPU.

Thanks again for your help and time spent with my odd bug.  I'll mark this as Solved with an edit to the original post. Thank you!
