SWIOTLB=force kernel param prevents desktop environment from loading

allhavebrainimplantsnmore · 2020-07-07 04:41:58

Hi!

I load arch with "iommu=soft" kernel parameter to turn on SWIOTLB, and GNOME loads okay.

When I also add "swiotlb=force" param to force absolutely all system IO through the SWIOTLB, GNOME does not load - I seem to only get X server to start with a blank screen and a mouse cursor.

I do not have hardware IOMMU on my system according to specs at all.

Here's a little info about IOMMU: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/IOMMU_SWIOTLB

Help!

Is there anything in the journal / dmesg from the failure? If the system does not have an IOMMU it can still support direct DMA.
Why do you want to force all IO through the SWIOTLB?

allhavebrainimplantsnmore · 2020-07-08 07:53:34

GNOME loads fine with software IOMMU=soft. GNOME does not load with everything is forced through IOMMU (I am not sure what would not be put through IOMMU when IOMMU=soft is turned on in kernel). It may be a kernel bug/security vulnerability.

GNOME fails right away after startx:

gnome-session[528]: Failed to create hardware context.
gnome-session[528]: Failed to create hardware context.

Any pointers?

What PCI-DMA mapping is used when no options are specified? iommu-input-output-memory-management-unit

allhavebrainimplantsnmore · 2020-07-11 06:04:49

Default without options is: “PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)."

What is the dmesg from a boot with swiotlb=force from after gnome failed to start?

Please post the rest of the journal for that boot. The only kernel entries the posted section contains is audit messages.

allhavebrainimplantsnmore · 2020-07-19 05:47:42

That's all I have in the journal. I have a slim kernel config - do I need to turn something on?

Lone_Wolf · 2020-07-19 11:21:13

Did you run journalctl as regular user ?

Full access to journal / dmesg is restricted to root and members of a few special groups, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … Group_list

allhavebrainimplantsnmore · 2020-07-20 03:20:02

No. As root.

loqs · 2020-07-20 10:33:51

What command are you using to obtain the journal?

allhavebrainimplantsnmore · 2020-07-20 13:38:20

 sudo journalctl

loqs · 2020-07-20 16:27:38

See Journal#Filtering_output to limit the output to one boot and the tip box from pastebin to send that output to a pastebin.
