dmesg showing error

Intermittently (a few times a day), my display will completely freeze and
doesn't recover. Although the kernel doesn't hang and I can ssh in, I can't
chvt to a non-graphical VT.

Whenever this occurs, I see a message like this in dmesg:

[12535.260195] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: TRAP ch 6 [007f778000 Xwayland[854]]
[12535.260211] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: GPC0/TPC1/MP trap: global 00000000 []
warp 3d0001 [STACK_ERROR]
[12539.595312] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: SCHED_ERROR 0a [CTXSW_TIMEOUT]
[12539.595318] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: gr engine fault on channel 5,
recovering...

Despite the "recovering..." message it never actually recovers and only a
reboot solves the problem.

I'm using GNOME on Wayland, and I'm typically running gnome-terminal, Firefox,
and/or Chromium. So far I haven't identified any specific action that triggers
this failure.

My computer is a mid-2014 Macbook Pro with a GeForce 750M (GK107). I'm running
nouveau with "nouveau.nofbaccel=1". I've tried adding
"nouveau.config=NvGrUseFW=1" but it complains about not finding
/lib/firmware/nvidia/gk107/fecs_inst.bin. Is there an external firmware blob
available for this card?

I recently updated my kernel and several relevant packages, and have seen no
difference in behavior. I'm running linux 4.9.0, and the latest version of mesa
from git (36b5f1d200).

See my attached dmesg output. Is there any debug flag I can enable to shed more
light on the situation?

Thanks!
Tony

To answer your immediate question about firmware, you can get blob firmware by
following the insturctions at

https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/#firmware

to the letter. Unfortunately I think that linux 4.9 wants some of these to be
renamed, but there's a patch to fix it to look for the "old" names as well:

https://github.com/skeggsb/linux/commit/e137040e0d0376b404fc5155eba44ea07126e3bd.patch

Should be included in a later 4.9.x release.

However I'm only aware of the blob firmware fixing issues for some GTX 660
owners.

nofbaccel=1 is unlikely to be of much help - that disables acceleration of the
fbdev device for your terminals.

Note that there are additional patches in Linux 4.10-rc1+ which are likely to
improve stability, such as

https://github.com/skeggsb/linux/commit/b27add13f500469127afdf011dbcc9c649e16e54.patch

and you might also want this one, although it'll be a little annoying to apply
to upstream tree:

https://github.com/skeggsb/nouveau/commit/b3816f34944ad4824d345b98c323a30710f492d4.patch

Thanks for the quick reply! That's all very informative, especially the bit
about the firmware filenames. (I was wondering why the filenames in
/lib/firmware/nouveau were so different from the ones in /lib/firmware/nvidia!)

I'll give those patches a shot and follow up with an update soon.
