| Booster[m] | <Booster[m]> "josch: thanks again for your..." <- josch: unfortunately bounty source does not support gitlab. Any chance we could get an issue on github? Seems this is required to create a bounty.. | 08:38 |
| Booster[m] | minute: in the MNT gitlab for the Reform there is a sleep/wake issue open where you last suspected that the GPU is the issue. Based on the behavior I am seeing when suspend fails to resume, this seems to be the right track. Now whatever regressions occurred between 5.12 and 6.1 seem to be safely within the way the kernel reinitializes the graphics stack on wake. | 08:48 |
| Booster[m] | I would love to drop a bounty on the issue from bounty source but they don't support gitlab it seems. | 08:49 |
| minute | this theory can be tested by rmmod etnaviv on the linux console and then suspending and resuming a few times. | 09:47 |
| Booster[m] | minute: well even though resume performance is much better under 5.12 there are still occasional freezes which occur. 1 failure out of 20 resumes, for example. | 09:58 |
| Booster[m] | So the issue is still there, it is just not triggered as often. | 09:58 |
| Booster[m] | minute: I'm actually on a break now, and one other peculiar thing I noticed, was if you eject the SD card while the system is sleeping, it will wake. | 09:59 |
| Booster[m] | I accidentally ejected the SD card while getting the Reform out of my bag. | 09:59 |

| minute | Booster[m]: lsmod shows you the list of loaded kernel modules (drivers). rmmod removes (unloads) a driver/module. etnaviv is the GPU driver. thus, by unloading drivers they are out of the equation for suspend testing. | 14:36 |
| minute | so one could potentially narrow down if a certain driver is the culprit by unloading as many drivers as possible on the plain linux console (outside of graphical session, or even over uart) and then see if suspend/wake behavior changes. | 14:37 |
| Boostisbetter | minute: that all makes sense. I think based on on the testing that the initial ticket contained, it was pretty clear that pure console resumes were flawless. Any graphical session introdued the issues. Was a little less pronounced on EXWM versus Sway, but I would chalk that up to the difference between X and Wayland. The driver itself seems to be the issue based on that information, but it is sub | 14:45 |
| Boostisbetter | jective and guess work. | 14:45 |
| Boostisbetter | I'm beginning to think I just need to pick this up myself. But I'll be starting at the far end of the pool. Does anyone have a good book on the linux kernel and driver development? | 14:49 |
| Boostisbetter | I wonder if looking at the deltas in the etnaviv driver between 5.12 and 6.1 would be a shortcut to finding some answers as well? | 14:50 |
| - S0rin (QUIT: Read error: Connection reset by peer) (~S0rin@user/s0rin) | 14:50 | |
| Boostisbetter | I can probably dedicate about a half hour a day towards this. I'm not sure that is going to be enough to bare any fruit. | 14:55 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: i suggest first establishing that you can really 100% reliably resume on console. | 14:57 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: etnaviv is also not established as the source of the problem. you have to be 100% sure about this, otherwise it will be shots in the dark | 14:58 |
| + mark_ (~mjw@gnu.wildebeest.org) | 14:58 | |
| Boostisbetter | no I agree, I just mean that if we were betting this is the direction I would be looking. To me the driver is no correctly reintializing the GPU, but that is all being assumed from a 1000 miles up. So I hear you. | 15:01 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: i don't even remember writing this ticket. so i would ignore it and start fresh. | 15:01 |
| minute | i recently saw a very good talk showing linux kernel debugging methods and tools. let me find it for you | 15:02 |
| Boostisbetter | the other shortcut would be to just pull down the etnaviv driver being used on the Librem 5 6.1 kernel and plug it in to the kernel for the Reform. My guess is that this is the absolute path of least resistence in getting this resolved. | 15:03 |
| minute | why etnaviv? | 15:03 |
| Boostisbetter | minute: thanks! I am keen to get up to speed at this point | 15:03 |
| Boostisbetter | minute: isn't it the gpu driver? | 15:04 |
| - klardotsh_ (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~klardotsh@98.97.114.65) | 15:04 | |
| minute | yes, but why do you think it is the gpu driver without having proof that it is the cause? | 15:04 |
| + klardotsh (~klardotsh@98.97.114.65) | 15:04 | |
| Boostisbetter | minute: because the issue that I always see is a lack of display activity every single time the Reform crashes on resume. | 15:05 |
| Boostisbetter | it isn't scientific, just the direction I want to look. Call it a hunch. | 15:05 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: here is the talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDXYpR_m1CU | 15:05 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: the display pipeline is a lot more than the gpu. is the rest of the system still alive? | 15:06 |
| Boostisbetter | thank you! I'll get into tonight after work. | 15:06 |
| Boostisbetter | minute, yes, it seems to be, BUT this is only based on power draw as reflected in the LPC. | 15:06 |
| Boostisbetter | Also observation that the activity light for the NVME is flashing, etc. | 15:06 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: that's not good enough. you need to confirm (prove) this with a UART console or ssh session from another computer. | 15:06 |
| + S0rin (~S0rin@user/s0rin) | 15:06 | |
| Boostisbetter | minute, yeah I was never really serious about the issue. | 15:07 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: if the system is indeed alive, one could perhaps inspect the issue while it is happening | 15:07 |
| Boostisbetter | Still if I was a betting man, I would put money on the etnaviv driver in the kernel. | 15:07 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: well, i only care about proof | 15:07 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: my other point is that you have many tools at your disposal to isolate the issue and gather more evidence without needing to dig into kernel code | 15:08 |
| Boostisbetter | minute yeah, as a fellow software engineer, I like to do things the hardware in my spare time. I'm so regulated at work. So I know exactly what you are talking about. | 15:10 |
| Boostisbetter | minute yeah, as a fellow software engineer, I like to do things the hard way in my spare time. I'm so regulated at work. So I know exactly what you are talking about. | 15:10 |
| minute | i see! | 15:10 |
| minute | i will have to work on suspend stuff soon on the imx8mplus (last time i worked on it it was broken), perhaps i can write down my debugging methods when i do it | 15:11 |
| Boostisbetter | minute: would be helpful for sure. | 15:11 |
| Boostisbetter | in josch's case, I don't know what is going on with his Reform. I suspect there is someting else on his mainboard that might be ever so slightly out of spec. | 15:12 |
| Boostisbetter | because he has no luck on resume due to his NVME drive not coming back. | 15:13 |

| vkoskiv | WD Blue drive. | 20:19 |
| vkoskiv | Didn't have that issue on my previous Intel 600p, but that drive had other issues. | 20:20 |
| vkoskiv | Namely it randomly froze during use | 20:20 |
| josch | i didn't try that intel drive -- maybe the failures you had with it were also somehow due to your reform? did you try that drive in another machine? | 20:28 |
| vkoskiv | I used the 600p in other machines before using it in the reform without issues. | 20:28 |
| vkoskiv | Actually now I remember, the drive was quite worn down | 20:29 |
| vkoskiv | So it's possible it just got degraded too much at some point in between | 20:29 |
| Boostisbetter | ok, yeah that is good to know. I mean the drive can be an issue, especially if it doesn't come back up on resume. | 20:53 |
| Boostisbetter | josch: one thing I am noticing about the 5.12 kernel is that there are little graphical glitches that happen revoling around updating GUI elements of open applications. | 20:56 |
| Boostisbetter | these glitches and anomolies don't happen under 6.1 | 20:57 |
