           Summary: [NV96] Unable to handle page request from

dmesg

Hardware:
* 9600M GT (NV96)
* 9400M (NVAC)

Tested on something newer than 3.17-rc5.
Though it is not visible in the dmesg, I set "config=NvForcePost=1" which had
no effect on the issue.

When using the NV96 to drive the display - this is set before booting -, a BUG:
unable to handle kernel page request is thrown by nv50_crtc_prepare after the
fb was allocated for the NV96 - the NVAC wasn't initialised yet.

I've also experienced this bug with my MacBook Pro 5,1 (same GPUs as parent). 

I've seen it with linux 3.18 rc5 when I run 'modprobe nouveau' :

journalctl when I modprobe nouveau

I've attached my journalctl output when I 'modprobe nouveau' on my MacBook Pro
5,1 which has GeForce 9400M and GeForce 9600M GPUs.

This bug generally occurs during the boot process which prevents the machine
from booting.

--- Comment #4 from l3iggs <j@greyltc.com> ---
I've found a workaround for this bug (tested with 3.18-rc5):

(1) Append 'modprobe.blacklist=nouveau' to the kernel boot parameters
This allows the system to boot.
(2) Once booted, as root, reset the 9600M GPU: 'echo 1 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/reset'
(3) 'echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/rescan'
(4) 'modprobe nouveau'

Note that 0000:02:00.0 is the PCI bus address of my 9600M GT GPU, which I
learned by inspecting the output of lspci.

The trick here is getting the GPU into the proper state before the nouveau
module is loaded. I've found that the internal state of the GPU can frequently
be inconsistent across reboots making troubleshooting difficult. Resetting and
then rescanning it before loading nouveau seems to solve things for every
scenario I've tested.

With the above workaround I can start a display manager (GDM for gnome 3.14.2)
and everything seems to work as expected, ex. glxgears.

The 9400M GPU can optionally be disabled between steps (3) and (4): 'echo 1 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/remove'

where 0000:03:00.0 is the PCI address of my 9400M.

It does work indeed, and seems to solve some other issues related to that card
(powering it down using vgaswitcheroo, suspending the laptop - resuming doesn't
work though).

vgaswitcheroo should be able to connect the integrated to the display (look at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/) using apple-gmux driver.

Kmesg with EVO debug messages

Still an issue. I've been playing with PDISPLAY and PFB regs by following the
blob, but never managed to make it work.

--- Comment #8 from Pierre Moreau <pierre.morrow-GANU6spQydw@public.gmane.org> ---
Reopening this bug as its core issue is different from the other bug's one.

Setting the 8 LSB of register 0x8841c (PPCI.CONFIG) to 0 makes it possible to
interact with the card normally, without any crashes. Though after powering off
the G96, switching to it from the MCP79 will result in a blank screen: no error
message outputed, no hang, just a blank screen. I'll push a hacky patch for
those who wants to use their G96, or power it down; you may alternatively run
`nvapoke -c0 0x8841c 28400` **before** loading Nouveau.

This bit resetting is also done by the PCI reset step.

Disable bits 5 and 6 of 0x8841c

The extremely hacky attached patch gets the laptop into a working state: being
able to load Nouveau and X properly, switch between cards, and power down/up
the inactive card.

Enable EXT_TAG if hardware allows it

Apparently enabling EXT_TAG, as the hardware supports it, is enough to fix the
bug. So apparently, bits 5 and 6 can only be enabled if EXT_TAG is also
enabled?
