/var/log/syslog at the moment of hangup (photo)
System: Ubuntu 16.06 with Mesa git (padoka ppa) and kernel 4.6-rc6
GPU: Intel HD 5500 + AMD R5 M330 - all command below run with DRI_PRIME=1
I get GPU hangups, which result in freeze after a soft reset, whenever the load
is high enough to push the GPU into higher power states.
If I run, for example, glmark2, only the first frame gets rendered and then the
GPU lockups. After ~30s system freezes with information about GPU soft reset as
the last message in syslog (see attachment)
If I run a non-GPU-intensive commands (say, glxgears with vsync), then the GPU
stays in low power states and I do not get this hangup. If I force lower power
states (echo battery > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_state), I don't
get this hangup even with glmark2.
If I force high power states (echo performance >
/sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_state; echo high >
/sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level; echo on >
/sys/class/drm/card1/device/power/control) then I do not get the hangup as long
as there is no activity at all on the GPU. A simple glxgears is enough to
trigger a hangup in this situation.
This bug is present since at least kernel 4.2.
I would appreciate any info on how to debug this further and will provide more
info if requested.
