Arch Linux

I have the same problem with Intel GM45 chipest (Thinkpad X200).

Same issue here

please also have a look at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183359

Either it is not fixed or the bug I reported is a separate one: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41083

the bug is not fixed yet, after upgrading the system a few days ago (to linux 3.16 or intel-dri 10.2.5-1), it started happen every time I try to run OpenGl-apps. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1443930#p1443930

Can confirm this bug with linux 3.16.0-2 kernel from testing. Intel-dri is not guilty for this bug, because I'm using it without problem and kernel 3.14 / 3.15.

Downgrading kernel to lts version or to 3.15.8-1 fixes the bug.

intel_do_flush_locked failed: argument invalide (invalid argument) is found twice in a log I generated with journalctl -b on my laptop with linux 3.16 kernel and trying to launch gnome shell :

I can confirm this error.

It started with the linux 3.15.x. Could not run opengl applications after resume from suspend.

Since 3.16, I even can not run opengl right after boot.

I also experience the same issue on my GMA45 Lenvo X200 laptop,
if I put the laptop to sleep and resume it, I get

intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

when running opengl apps, mpv, flash player keep crashing too.
I have to reboot to keep going.

Running kernel 3.15.8 x86_64 Here.

For me issue did not occur in Kernel 3.15 but started appearing in Kernel 3.16.

It happens even after system restart i.e. without suspend/resume

I am using KDE - kwin crashes with intel_do_flush_locked failed: invalid argument.

Since kwin crashes, effectively I can not use desktop at all because:

You can not see window title - window buttons (close-minimize)
You can not use alt-tab to switch between multiple windows
etc.

Currently I fixed this by disabling Desktop effects and OpenGL.

Since 3.16 is in core, I decided to uninstall Gnome and replace it by Mate Desktop. GDM is crashing a lot.

You might want to switch to linux-lts to avoid this problem instead of changing your desktop environment.

Same problem happens here on a Lenovo X200, lspci follows.

Trilby also posted a potential solution (switching to uxa): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1446267#p1446267
I haven't tried this yet but it might be worth a try.

I wanted to test Mate Desktop anyway, so I took this opportunity. And I don't really like LTS kernels ;)

Will try uxa trick... With a little luck :)

Thanks for the forum thread.

Your "trick" is working. Looks like sna is far from betting ready for prime time.

does it affect x86-systems?

This bug was fixed for me in previous kernel version(s) but as I upgraded to 3.16.0-2 it is present again.
x86_64-system here, lenovo t400

Same problem here.

OpenGL is broken, Xv is also broken.

I get this in my dmesg:

[ 12.993393] [drm:i915_gem_init] *ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged

glxgears and other OpenGL apps return this: intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

Arch Linux (x86_64)

Yes, i have Same problem here i use kernel 3.16.1 any solution ?

I have x86_64.

Thanks.

Has anyone tried to produce it on x86-systems? If it appears only on x86_64-systems, it can be very helpful, I think.

I have x86_64.

It probably can't be reproduced on an x86, since every single report (in this bug or the thread linked above) refers to a GM45/x4500 or doesn't provide enough information to tell. That chipset only works with Core2 which is x86_64.

I have an Intel Celeron processor.

Celerons are pretty much just rebadged versions of a huge range of other processor families - everything from Pentium IIs to recentish Sandy Bridge chips. Could you check the exact model?

Not sure I that's what you need, output of lscpu:

Yeah, that's a Penryn-based one - essentially a low-specced Core2 chip.
Certainly seems like this bug is specific to the x4500 IGPs.

a bad fix of problem: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IntelGMA#X_freeze.2Fcrash_with_intel_driver - disable DRI

after that openGL-apps will run very slow instead of crashing.

For additional information:

I have a IGP of the x4500 family, too.

upstream kernel bug, not yet fixed:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82481

The rename (and possibly upstream link) seems wrong. The failure after suspend as reported in this bug occurs since 3.15.

The upstream report is for a similar/the same bug occurring immediately on boot, which does seem to occur only in 3.16. It doesn't mention failure after suspend.

They have submitted some patches here that apparently solves the problem:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554

Have you guys tried it?

This issue has been fixed upstream.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82481
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554#c104

Today i built the 3.17-rc1 and it seems to be fixed.
I have done a few suspendToRam/resume cycles.
As mentioned by Jiri Kosina in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554#c84, the error can still appear, but not that often.
So we will see, what the next resumes will bring :-)

I can't believe this shit is still broken. WTF arch?

Some Intel interrogated video hardware is rendered useless by this recent kernel bug. On my system, useless means X is a black screen on my Intel GMA X4500HD. Others have reported this bug with newer hardware as well.[1] Upstream has a patch which was submitted to the stable team on Aug 7th, but I find no traces of it in the stable queue.[2] The developer himself mentioned on Aug 7th, that it will get backported to stable kernels eventually, I think we should consider it important enough to add to our kernel until it is accepted.[3]

Upstream report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554
Upstream patch: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=104224

3. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554#c103

Additional info:
* package version(s) 3.16.1-1
* the error is reported in dmesg:

[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 (valid? 1) head 00000298 tail 00000000 start 001d8000 [expected 001d8000]
[drm:i915_gem_init] *ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run the affected hardware and boot the machine.

Will the patch be backported?

I can confirm the issue on my X200T with an Intel X4500 and a x86_64 system. Switching to UXA mode does not help. The crash on start of xinitrc and resume from suspend remains:

[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 (valid? 1) head 00000298 tail 00000000 start 001d8000 [expected 001d8000]
[drm:i915_gem_init] *ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged

I have a Lenovo T400 and am getting the following kernel error during boot.

[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 (valid? 1) head 0000c020 tail 00000000 start 00042000 [expected 00042000]
[drm:i915_gem_init] *ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged

Kernel boot continues after a long pause, and console works fine. However when running Xorg and starting certain graphics applications, the program immediately crashes. One such application is firefox with flash (viewing streaming video's etc).

This has been solved by switching from SNA mode to UXA mode using Xorg config file below. Streaming videos now working fine. Kernel boot error message obviously still persists though.

@lenzj - does the patch I referenced fix it for you? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=104224

@graysky - I applied the patch. Everything seems to be running great now. No error message during kernel boot. Graphical applications run both in SNA and UXA mode. It's been a while since I've patched and compiled a custom kernel, so it took me a while but things are running better. Thank you. I would be in favor of adding this patch to the official Arch kernel build if it's going to be a while before the developer implements it.

@graysky I recompiled the 3.16.1 kernel two days ago with the patch and on my side it looks like all the issues I have been having with opengl apps crashing are fixed, I can say that SNA is working fine again here.

Running on x200 Intel X4500(GMA45).

@mentalis

I am also running an X200. Mind sharing your PKGBUILD that you used to recompile the kernel?

Thanks ahead!

Having the same problem with a GM45. I hope the patch will be included in the next version or the package so I won't have to use the LTS kernel anymore.

@orschiro Sure you can get the pkgbuild files here
https://www.bloodycloud.net/public.php?service=files&t=c0e89912c0b070fa73518df1703d8e5c

@mentalis

Thank you a lot! I successfully recompiled the kernel and the error is resolved!

I was too early with my conclusion. The error message is resolved. But Xorg still crashes if I (un)plug my power cable of my laptop or sometimes on resume from hibernation. I tried several xorg files in addition but none of them could resolve the error completely. I used the xorg files as mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#SNA_issues

Just searched for the patch in the git repo of the 3.16.2 kernel. The patch is NOT included in the 3.16.2 version. So there is no need for us to try the new kernel which is in the testing repo right now.

Linux-ck 3.16.2 works just fine. Is that because @John (graysky) patched it? Thanks, Graysky.

Yes, I patch linux-ck with the upstream patch which is why your system works. Been doing it since 3.16.1-2: http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/commit/linux-ck?id=2845e542e70065b20984ac3eff670ab700fd2cef

Looks like this is queued for 3.16.4.
