Nouveau driver gets a long-awaited fix!

A recent code patch has been pushed to the Linux 6.17 kernel that targets the Nouveau driver for NVIDIA graphics cards. Computers that utilize the NVIDIA graphics cards will benefit from this long-awaited fix that improves your experience when it comes to gaming and other graphics-heavy operations, such as 3D modeling!

Apparently, a bug in the Nouveau driver related to fencing has been plaguing users for ages, since the context would randomly wedge causing your X server to lock up. If it doesn’t lock up, your application or your game will at least shut down with a timeout message in the kernel dmesg output.

As described in the groupwork report, unrelated debugging work in the Blackwell architecture done this week led to a reliable reproducer for this bug, which is finally fixed. You can see the final fix here.

As Linux 6.17 releases, the fix should be backported to all supported Linux versions, and all distributions, depending on the package update policy, will get this fix for users running their Linux system with an NVIDIA graphics card powered by the Nouveau driver.

For further explanation, you can read the block of text below:

Nouveau has code that when it gets an IRQ with no allowed handler it disables it to avoid storms.However with nonstall interrupts, we often disable them from the drm driver, but still request their emission via the push submission.Just don't disable nonstall irqs ever in normal operation, the event handling code will filter them out, and the driver will just enable/disable them at load time.This fixes timeouts we've been seeing on/off for a long time, but they became a lot more noticable on Blackwell.This doesn't fix all of them, there is a subsequent fence emission fix to fix the last few.

Probably not going to make the news but this week is actually pretty big for nouveau users. @airlied and I finally tracked down a fencing bug that's been plaguing nouveau users for a while.

Sometimes the context will randomly wedge, resulting in a timeout message in dmesg and your app suddenly freezing and getting killed. When this happens to your compositor or X server, you lose your session. We've seen a number of bug reports about things like this over the course of the last year or so but until this week weren't able to track it down.

Thanks to a bit of unrelated Blackwell debugging I was doing this week, I finally figured out how to reliably reproduce it and Dave was able to hunt it down in the nouveau code. The final fix was a group effort:

lists.freedesktop.org/archives…

The fix has been merged to drm-misc-fixes and will be backported to the stable Linux kernel branches. Users should get that fix soon through their regular distro update cycle.

Hopefully, this will significantly improve the overall robustness of the nouveau stack and relieve some of the annoyance users have been experiencing.

[PATCH 1/2] nouveau: fix disabling the nonstall irq due to storm code. (v2)

NUMBERS. To consult the book of numbers: a term used in the House of Commons, when, instead of answering or confuting a pressing argument, the minister calls for a division, i.e. puts the matter to the vote.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
