            Bug ID: 84662
           Summary: Long pauses with Unreal demo Elemental on R9270X since
                    : Always flush the HDP cache before submitting a CS to
                    the GPU
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/Gallium/radeonsi
          Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: adf.lists@gmail.com

R9270X PCIE 2.0 2 gig vram 4 gig ram.

Unreal demo Elemental only recently started working with git llvm/mesa, do no
bisection done on these.

The demo even when working is very broken - constant 1/4 sec stutters with a
couple of 1/2 - 1 sec.

But after -

commit 4439d469706699b4e69ef410ebc9115339f6e9e6
Author: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@amd.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 31 18:43:49 2014 +0900

    drm/radeon: Always flush the HDP cache before submitting a CS to the GPU

    This ensures the GPU sees all previous CPU writes to VRAM, which makes it
    safe:

    * For userspace to stream data from CPU to GPU via VRAM instead of GTT
    * For IBs to be stored in VRAM instead of GTT
    * For ring buffers to be stored in VRAM instead of GTT, if the HPD flush
      is performed via MMIO


There are far longer pauses of many seconds - run time to unreal logo on "good"
is 3:45 on bad best 5:39 can be longer.

Screens to be attached show quite different vram/gtt usage between good and
bad.

Related to 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82050

I bisected to the same commit in that bug, but applying the mesa patch

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82050#c19

doesn't help here.

CONFIG_CMA is not set.

Tried kernel org 3.17-rc7 as it was reported in above as working, but not for
me.

It seems that with current llvm/mesa that patch doesn't help Unigine Valley
anymore.

 Hmm whatever GTT starts fueling fps gows down to crawl... I can't run
Elemental on Kabini have just 1-3 fps :D , but i am curios what happens for you
in HUD when you just comment out this in r600_buffer_common.c:

    default:
        /* Not listing GTT here improves performance in some apps. */
        res->domains = RADEON_DOMAIN_VRAM;

 I mean only that line of course:

 Just checked on valley so yeah, seems like anything about GTT does not like to
be mentioned there as default ;)

It looks roughly the same as the pic posted.

 And about Valley? If that is also the same, i don't know (might be dedicated
vram does not trigger this or something) that one made a noticable difference
for me :) Guessing you run all this without composite, because there as
unsolvable sttuter for me with Unigine Valley on Linux and Windows with Aero,
so when i comment out this it runs the same as in Windows - fist round only two
slight sttuters (normal ones), then second time there is no stuter.

 Tried now in Xonotic ultimate there is also one moment scene case where this
show much less fps drop for me, that is also the case when gtt get fueled.

 Well open a new bug, sttuter/freezes can be of varios cause... hardware
combinations, APU or dedicated card, on AMD procesor on Intel so what governor
used, composite or not, vblank on or not, spilling freezes, some particular
effect unoptimized, etc... so various causes could be, this one is i think only
about GTT load and fps drop because of that, so if you are sure it is because
of that (check with GALLIUM_HUD=fps,GTT-usage) than that is the same bug.

Make Mesa behave as if the kernel was older

(In reply to Andy Furniss from comment #3)
> gallium hud on bad showing different vram gtt usage

That's very interesting indeed — on the 'good' screenshot, requested and actual
VRAM usage match up almost perfectly, but on the 'bad' one, there's a large
discrepancy.

With a current kernel, does the bad behaviour start with the same Mesa commit
as the Unigine stutters?

The attached patch makes Mesa behave the same with current kernels as it does
with older ones which don't have the bisected commit. Does that avoid the
problem?

I can't go back that far with Elemental due to llvm asserts.

No, the patch makes no difference.

More testing - incomplete but will post initial findings as I don't know when
I'll finish.

I managed to get older mesa to build with new llvm by applying the build fixes.

With mesa on the commit before
r600g,radeonsi: Set RADEON_GEM_NO_CPU_ACCESS flag for tiled BOs
(I don't know yet exactly what mesa commit changed things)

I can with your patch or the stream revert get "good" behavior, this was with a
kernel on the "bad" HPD kernel commit.

Will test more over time.

I know what I'm talking about. It's this bug, so I've written here.

Here's the proof (Unreal Engine 3, though, I can provide it with any Valve game
at will). Spikes on the GTT usage have corresponding falls of the FPS.

Don't know what you guys are testing for exactly, but here's my chart for your
consumption. R9 270X 2GB. Where I screen shot, the demo also just freezes. But,
that's another issue for later. Here you go. I also have long pauses and
freezes and everything.

I haven't tried the patch yet. will do but I got some strange results last
thing yesterday which will make me hesitant about declaring any patch good or
bad.

I started resetting around in mesa and noticed unexpected goods - so I tried
head and got a good noth with and without 1st patch.

Rebooted into 3.17-rc7 still good.

Did some recompiling of llvm/mesa as I had changed my normal setup slightly -
got bad.

Repeated resetting mesa to older + patch got good, reset to head again, bad.
Applied patch on head good, reversed patch on head - still good.

I am wondering at this time whether card is in some nice state so power cycle -
still good. Boot into 3.18 still good, clean & recompile the same mesa without
doing anything else - bad again. Still bad after power cycles.

I always make distclean + git clean -dfx when doing anything other than
applying or reversing a patch.

So it seems that there is some randomness whether I am good or bad between mesa
build/installs.

This does not however tally with my kernel bisect which seemed to go
flawlessly.

I assume there is no card state that can survive power off.

So currently a bit confused - as reported by Christoph in the other bug, it is
possible to have good with vanilla mesa/kernel, but apparently for me the
"same" mesa can also be bad.

I did try more clean/rebuild cycles including single thread but am currently
still bad.

agd5f drm-next-3.18-wip + patch is still bad.

Bad can be a bit variable, but I would call it as one of the better bads and
the vram usage is closer to a good - pic to follow.

Another observation - On good or bad the demo takes a while to get going.

Time to start of normal rendering on this patched kernel is around 2m5s

If I wiggle the window around while it's loading/stuck = 1m23s

I'm also seeing this behavior while bisecting a different bug on a 7950...
Probably related...

It seems like current mesa doesn't build/install properly when patched without
being totally clean.

The mesa patch in this bug on an already built tree does provoke -

make[3]: Entering directory
'/mnt/sdb1/Src64/Mesa-git/mesa/src/gallium/drivers/radeon'
  CC       r600_buffer_common.lo
  CCLD     libradeon.la

but radeonsi_dri.so is not changed after make install.

It seems I wasn't testing it - so the answer now is yes it does - in fact the
goods I get with it on current kernels are better = less stutters than the
goods I saw during the kernel bisect.

How about lib/gallium/radeonsi_dri.so in the build tree? That gets updated
correctly for me. I don't use make install though, and I'm using an out-of-tree
build, so maybe it's related to one of those. Anyway, please file another
report about that.

No, so it seems like it's make that fails to update that for me unless I have
distcleaned.

With these it's better but still a bad. There are still pauses but they are a
bit shorter, the start time without intervention is still around 2min. Start
time on a good is around 1 min (assuming first run or mem caches flushed).

Hud wise - pic to follow the vram req/used match well, but the gtt is still
different from a good.

On the upside - Unigine Valley is the best I've ever seen it - way better than
what I've called as good in the past.

The second kernel patch "radeon-NO_CPU_ACCESS-placement.diff" does not apply to
3.17.
Michel, looks like the patch is against some version only you have?
Andy, I think you didn't apply at least the second kernel patch because it's
simply not possible, most likely you ignored that all hunks failed.

I see the patches are on the list now, so just in case it wasn't expected -

Running patched kernel with unpatched mesa causes signal 7 when running games.

So are the stutters completely gone or just became smaller?

That mesa patch also reduced my stutter in BL2. Right now (I have just tested 5
minutes) I only get short lags when the game must load new areas/models (e.g.
making a turn or entering new map zones). I'm on 3.17 rc7 (Radeon HD 7870).

The stutter was also very noticeable in EuroTruck Simulator 2, making the game
almost unplayable. There still a few stutters in this game, so I would say the
stutter is not completely gone (even though my BL2 experience is good).

Comments about Borderlands 2 should go to bug 84570.

(In reply to Andy Furniss from comment #33)
> Running patched kernel with unpatched mesa causes signal 7 when running
> games.

I fixed that in the kernel patch I posted to the dri-devel list.


So I finally convinced myself that using VRAM for PIPE_USAGE_STREAM buffers is
not a good idea, at least not at this time, and pushed the Mesa change which
makes those use GTT again. But while trying to avoid that, I found and fixed a
fair number of other issues, so hopefully the end result will be even better
than before. :)

It's still not right for me and never has been.

I haven't had much time to test recently, but what testing I did it seems that
some of it may be when it loads from disk/disk cache. Maybe because I only have
4G RAM it's worse for me - but then I don't know why it still messes up from
cache.

Last night I updated kernel to agd5f 3.19-wip and current mesa, after applying
the mesa patches I got a lockup/crash. I hadn't retarted X though so glamor was
using vanilla. I didn't crash instantly - first run was OK, and I haven't had
time yet to see if it's just something new with different mesa/kernel, or if
the patches + 3.19 are the cause.

Are the mesa patches still valid?

I'll attach the log, initially it was just that elemental didn't start, I was
still OK, could switch desktops and use top to see it was maxing a single core,
after a while I tried to start sysprof, which segfaulted, after that I was
unstable eg. free hung and I tried to quit X but hung then I SysRqd.

Haven't had much time, but I have failed to reproduce so far with updated mesa
(and I am making sure to restart X now so glamor is not running different code)

It's still stuttery, but it could be my 4G mem/the way the game loads.

If I run from clean most of the stutters/long start time correspond with
"vmstat 1" showing disk activity. It seems having 4 gig (swap is off to avoid
extra disk use) it seems I don't have enough ram to disk cache the whole demo.
If I stop it after a while I can get the first bit cached (ie. I can run it
without vmstat 1 showing anything), but it's still stuttery in the places where
it would be loading from disk were it first run.

Ignore that, I just reproduced it, will file a new bug, though I am a few days
old on mesa/kernel now.

Sounds like it's loading new content in those places. Doesn't that cause
stutter with other drivers?

Hard for me to test fglrx on my setup, but soon I should have more ram to play
with.

The recent changes to to agd5f 3.19-wip seem to have provoked a new issue -
haven't had time to find a commit yet.

Will attach a screen showing that near the end of the demo there is a new
really long pause (graph doesn't really show length, but it was around 10 sec)
that corresponds to a big move from vram to gtt.

Other demos eg. valley don't show any issues and run well.

IIRC there is already a bug somewhere about the rendering issue (common to most
unreal demos) that makes part of the logo black in the screen shot.

I think I'm hitting a similar issue on a RV770 (Radeon HD4850) hardware, while
playing the game Left 4 Dead 2.

I was on Fedora 19 (kernel 3.14) and upgraded to Fedora 21 (kernel 3.17). Since
this time, the game became unplayable due to GPU lockup. See the dmesg in
attachement.

Here is the summary of the tests I then performed on a fresh Fedora 20 install
:
kernel 3.11 + mesa 10.5-devel + sb = OK
kernel 3.17 + mesa 10.5-devel + sb = BAD
kernel 3.17 + mesa 10.5-devel + nosb = OK
kernel 3.17 + mesa 10.3.3 + sb = BAD (worse, 3 times more lockup)

I'm not skilled to compile/install a custom kernel, so I will just try to
download a 3.16 kernel from koji when the site will be up again, in order to
see if the issue appeared with 3.17.

elemental stalls near end with large vram -> gtt move

Generally the new version is a bit better, it's still not right, it has
glitches but they are shorter.

I have 8 Gig ram now so can run from tmpfs to exclude the glitching being
caused by disk activity. 

There is sometimes a new issue very near the end where there is a chance of a
multi second stall corresponding to vram -> gtt move as in the screenshot.

This didn't happen at all the first couple of times I tested.

The third time only 200meg was moved the fourth is this shot.

I'm currently getting a "run time to unreal logo" of just over three minutes on
my Kaveri. How about you, Andy? You said 3:45 is "good", so if it's below that
now, this report can be resolved, right? :)

AFAICT the remaining pauses are mostly due to delayed shader compiles, which
Marek has been working on reducing.

Yes, this should be resolved -

I can't test 270X as it died and I now have a Tonga (so can't compare
times/glitching  due to low clocks.

IIRC the "big" glitches were fixed with only smaller ones remaining.
