System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

Hello,

I'm having an issue with instability on my Arch installation. This has always been a problem since installation 9 months ago. I'd really, really appreciate some help because it drives me to use Windows (which I really want to avoid except for AAA gaming). I'm happy to share any further logs or details upon request. First time posting here.

The problem:

Sometimes, when placed under heavy load, the system nearly completely freezes up:
- Load averages rocket from <1 second to >60 seconds.
- System is mostly unresponsive, can't really do anything.
- If spotify is playing, the audio starts to shudder, then stops completely, sometimes starts playing again after a bit but then ultimately stops.

When it happens:

- Sometimes when doing a huge pacman/yay upgrade.
- This time, it happened when installing nerd-fonts-complete from the AUR, via yay. I think it was around 6 minutes into the installation, maybe when it was Making package. But it equally could have been something else I was doing. The logs suggest spotify was involved but I'm not sure what/why/how. Perhaps the combination of an Electron app with the heavy load of this 2.2 GB AUR package? The yay update did seem to be using most of my CPU.
- I cannot reliably reproduce it.

The outcome:

- Sometimes, things are resolved if I wait a long enough time (typically >5 minutes). It has hung for longer than this but I haven't had the patience to wait and see if it will unfreeze, so I typically just hard reboot.

Some logs of the most recent occurrence:

On this occurrence, I was in the middle of installing nerd-fonts-complete, spotify was playing music, I was running a 1.5 TB borg backup between two USB HDDs, I also had Firefox and Chromium running with about 30 tabs open between them.

Checking journalctl, just before the huge slowdown, I get:

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

I am experiencing almost the exact same behavior. In my case either spotify or discord segfaults, but I guess they rely on the same framework. For me this began right after updating to Gnome 3.39 and almost always happens when I move the mouse cursor to the up left hot corner to show the desktop overview.

It is exactly as described, sometime the system comes back after 1 or 2 minute and sometimes I try to login with a different system (which is always possible IIRC) an kill the wayland process. (Perhaps wayland is a problem here?)

Unfortunately the logs (sudo journalctl -b 0) seem not to catch the source of the problem. I am not sure if the coredump of spotify or discord is the cause or just a symptom. I also cannot reproduce the error, so there is no way to do a systematic testing of this. It seems to me that the higher the base load of the system, the more often the system freezes. (e.g. when running OBS with screen capturing.). All in all the error happens for me once a week at most. Perhaps it has something to do with  creating the coredumps or something like that, but that is pure speculation. Anyway it is really annoying.

do you have an amd processor too? i know linux had segfault problems with ryzen when first generation ryzen came out. if you do too then maybe there's something else that can cause one on amd cpu's again. could also be caused with unstable ram too on amd and not enough soc voltage.

edit:
i also think it can be caused by certain c-states and some power limit thing. like typical current or something like that on ryzen.

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

I have the same issue, and my cpu is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz.

I didn't find out the cause of it, but it's not only a ryzen issue.

By the way, I have this identical laptop and the same issue happens on it under arch. I also dual boot Windows on it and Windows seems to work perfectly even under massive load.

Having the same/similar problem on my Lenovo T490. In my case my system freezes completely and my fans spin up. Happened in ferdi and signal. Seems like this is related to electron apps?

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

Checking the obvious, is microcode installed?

# journalctl -b | grep microcode

On Lenovo laptops, these are usually included in the firmware updates. At leat my system has the latest available microcodes installed.

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

I have the same issue. It seems to be related with electron apps ; all of the electron apps running (signal, spotify, ...) core dump and I have the GpuWatchdog message. It seems that running the apps with prime-run fix the issue ? (to confirm).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but prime-run can be used when you have multiple graphic cards and one wants to select which is used, right?
If so, for me that is not possible. sad

Btw: I read somewhere (don't remember) that there was an issue in the Intel graphics driver, which should have been resolved, but which didnt make it in Kernel 5.10.12. I also do not know if the patch did make it in 5.10.13-arch1-1. Anyways, I am currently on 5.10.13-arch1-1, let's see what happens. smile

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

Does the entire system under wayland freeze as well for you?

For me the behaviour differs between i3 and sway. While in i3 the entire system freezes (haven't yet gotten to the point where it unfreezes) and I have to hard reboot, while in wayland (sway) just all electrin based apps close (chrome, spotify, slack, ...) and won't start again.

However, stopping sway will cause the process to cause to print something endless pretty fast (got a bit of the impression of this green matrix text stuff), too fast to read and it didn't stop, so again a hard reboot.

This happens with nouveau and the nvidia drivers.

Did someone already try the lts kernel?

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

I think I fixed the issue on my system by removing the xf86-video-intel package (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2905 and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1948411). Maybe it won't help as you are on an AMD processor but I had really similar logs / problems so it might help others.

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

Still happening for me.
I'm using linux-zen with nvidia-dkms and intel modesetting driver, can confirm it happens with electron apps.
For me the desktop freezes completely, not even allowing to change to other virtual terminals. Only solution is to hard reboot.
Removing xf86-video-intel didn't help.
Are there any other solutions out there?

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

Having the same issue on Lenovo legion y520( 5.11.2-arch1-1). If system is under load and I open discord system completely freezes. xf86-video-intel is not installed.

Not completely sure, but it seems that moving to lts kernel fixed the issue for me.

Re: System freezes, with gpuwatchdog segfault and spotify coredump

Moving to lts kermel also fixed it for me.
Although i would like to see this fixed in the zen kernel because of fsync.
