940MX black screen and 100% Xorg CPU usage on system resume

Graphics / Linux Linux

Hi,

On GeForce 940MX found embedded in Asus X705UQ, the system appears to hang during resume after S3 suspend. Testing with driver version 387.34.

At this point the screen is black, but the computer is responsive over ssh.

There are no error messages shown in dmesg. Xorg is using 100% CPU. Backtrace at this point is:

nvidia-bug-report output: nvidia-bug-report Asus X705UQ when "hung" during S3 resume · GitHub
(this was captured over ssh while the system was in this hung state)

Interestingly if I VT switch away from X before S3 suspend, I can suspend from there, and it will also resume fine to that state. However upon then changing VT back to X, the hang state occurs and I can’t recover.

Please let me know how I can help further.

Looks like some acpi problem. Try using kernel parameter
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2009”
Please run acpidump and attach output to post.

Thanks for the suggestion. With those params, dmesg reports:

[    0.100982] ACPI: Disabled all _OSI OS vendors
[    0.100982] ACPI: Added _OSI(Module Device)
[    0.100982] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Device)
[    0.100982] ACPI: Added _OSI(3.0 _SCP Extensions)
[    0.100982] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Aggregator Device)
[    0.100982] ACPI: Added _OSI(Windows 2009)

There is no change to the resume behaviour, the bug still reproduces exactly as described above.

None of the usual suspects found in the acpidump.
See if this is reproducible by using bbswitch:
Stop X
unload nvidia modules
load bbswitch
turn off nvidia gpu using bbswitch
turn on nvidia gpu using bbswitch
use cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch to see if it is really on
load nvidia modules
start X

5

to get a bit more info, use kernel parameter
acpi.aml_debug_output=1
I think you might be hit by this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156341
due to following code in ssdt3

While (\_SB.PCI0.LKS1 < 0x07)
            {
                Sleep (One)
            }

This works fine, X came up using nvidia again. I then did a suspend/resume and it froze again though.

I took a look at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156341

So I do not seem to be facing that issue. Also nouveau can suspend/resume just fine. The issue only happens when using the official nvidia driver.

I added acpi.aml_debug_output=1 and acpi.debug_layer=0x10000000 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff but “dmesg | grep -i ‘ACPI DEBUG’” output is empty, so it doesn’t look like any debug statements are being hit here.

Ok. So it’s open to know whether the X or the kernel driver is hanging. Did you try
stop X
suspend
resume
start X
?
If that works, does starting acpid help?

8

Suspend/resume was fine. Then on starting X again, the kernel logged errors:

[  108.102157] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0xffff:1114)

[  108.858934] NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed for device bearing minor number 0

and X failed to launch with these errors:

[   328.964] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0):     check your system's kernel log for additional error

If testing acpid is still relevant, can you specify at which point in the test sequence I should start it?

9

At least there’s an error now. acpid should be irrelevant.
Can you check if the 384 driver works?

10

Reproduced the same issue on 384.98.

11

Also reproduced on driver version 390.12
Also reproduced on Asus X542UQ (NVIDIA GM108 940MX).

12

Another idea, tried
pcie_port_pm=off
kernel parameter?
Looks like the ASUS/940MX combo has regularly problems waking up again telling by the threads in this forum.

13

That makes no difference, problem still exists.

14

Same thin. The most weirdest thing is that I can put my laptop to suspend mode two to five times before t hangs. I am pretty sure the only problem is software skips the part where to turn the screen (lights) on. Everything else works fine even when the screen is blank.

15

Hi all. I have same issue too. I have Asus laptop N705UN-GC113T with hibrid graphics intel i7-8550U and Nvidia MX150 (based on 940MX).

It seems to be or, if i use intel gpu (laptop suspend and succsessful resume) But on nvidia a have a troble: after resume i have black screen with this str "[ … ] NVRAM: Xid (PCI: … ): 32 etc, computer is full freeze, not answer any command and virtual terminals (ctr + alt + f1) and my CPU is full load
