Bug#914495: linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64: does not boot here

[TS]

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.18.20-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainers,

linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64 does not boot on this computer.
After grub shortly cursor is blinking upper left (when usually the initrd is
deflating and systemd starts).
After that nothing happens.
HDD LED does not signalling activity.
Display stays dark, no messages appear with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet consoleblank=0 systemd.show_status=1"
set.

initrd has been rebuild manually before rebooting with
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-...

as i get used to.

Booting linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64 instead solves the issue.

Since the issue happens very early in boot process debugging is quit difficult.
Assistance with further debugging is required if you need additional informations.



kind regards,

Thilo

fb: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA
Disabling kernel mode setting with parameter nomodeset boots to tty.

confirming, adding 'nomodeset' to linux boot options lets
linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64 boot. Thanks Amy for the hint.

Linux 4.19.5-1~exp1 works.

On the other hand it possibly comes with ext4 file system corruption.

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.18.20-2
Followup-For: Bug #914495

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

* What led up to the situation? Booting into linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I crashed the system by switching off the power and then booted into linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64.
* What was the outcome of this action? It works as before.
* What outcome did you expect instead? I expected it to work.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.18.20-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainers,
linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64 does not boot on this computer.
After grub shortly cursor is blinking upper left (when usually the initrd is
deflating and systemd starts).
After that nothing happens.
HDD LED does not signalling activity.
Display stays dark, no messages appear with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet consoleblank=0 systemd.show_status=1"
set.
initrd has been rebuild manually before rebooting with
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-...
as i get used to.
Booting linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64 instead solves the issue.
Since the issue happens very early in boot process debugging is quit difficult.
Assistance with further debugging is required if you need additional informations.

You can use a serial console or netconsole to send the kernel log to
another computer:

Will look into that. My current schedule suggests this will not happen before
weekend though.

Just out of curiosity since linux-image-amd64 4.18+100 has been uploaded to
unstable. This issue here seems not to be wide spread, or reproducible?

This computer here is somewhat lucky in finding special bugs. Last time it was
in Zsh. If i had understand Peter correctly some sort of race condition it was
there.

Could be something like that here, too.


kind regards,

Since the issue happens very early in boot process debugging is quit difficult.
Assistance with further debugging is required if you need additional informations.

You can use a serial console or netconsole to send the kernel log to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/serial-console.html
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt

Will look into that. My current schedule suggests this will not happen before
weekend though.
Just out of curiosity since linux-image-amd64 4.18+100 has been uploaded to
unstable. This issue here seems not to be wide spread, or reproducible?

Hard to tell. There are a few people that reported the same *symptom*,
but that doesn't mean they found the same bug.

True of course. But in this case there seems to be a very strong
correlation with Gen4 Intel GPUs. I believe every one of the reports
have had at least a lspci dump showing one of those. And a couple of
the reports had stack traces pointing to gen4_render_ring_flush as well.

Given this, there is an extremely suspicious commit added in v4.18.20:

06e562e7f515 ("drm/i915/ringbuffer: Delay after EMIT_INVALIDATE for gen4/gen5")

I do have an old laptop with an affected chipset generation, and
verified that it had the same symptoms. But never got the time to
actually test any further. Still, I do think that there is good reason
to simply try a revert of that commit.

But the graphics mode is low res (1280x768). Also, 'nomodeset' is no longer
documented in the kernel parameters doc (
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt).

[sixerjman]

I have 3 Debian machines in the lab, and two booted 4.18.3 fine. One has a
Radeon GPU, the other is an Intel GM965. The one that gave me the black
screen at boot is:

lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series
Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I have the same output on an x200 thinkpad (Intel GM45) for
lspci | grep -i vga
and can confirm a black screen at "switching to inteldrmfb from efi vga"

In case such a kernel would be available somewhere i happily would test it.
Making such package myself is sadly beyond the limited scope of personal expertise.

For completeness:

drm/i915: Fix NULL deref when re-enabling HPD IRQs on systems with MST

This appears to be due to the fact that with an MST topology, not all
intel_connector structs will have ->encoder set. So, fix this by
skipping connectors without encoders in
intel_hpd_irq_storm_reenable_work().

For those wondering, this bug was found on accident while simulating HPD
storms using a Chamelium connected to a ThinkPad T450s (Broadwell).

Changes since v1:
- Check intel_connector->mst_port instead of intel_connector->encoder

I incorrectly stated there was no problem on one of my Debian machines with
video adapter

Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
(primary) (rev 0c).

There is black screen and lightdm failed to start after this:

I do have an old laptop with an affected chipset generation, and
verified that it had the same symptoms. But never got the time to
actually test any further. Still, I do think that there is good reason
to simply try a revert of that commit.

FWIW, I have now verified that reverting commit 06e562e7f515
("drm/i915/ringbuffer: Delay after EMIT_INVALIDATE for gen4/gen5") fixes
this issue for me.
