729817 - freezes and crashes @ nouveau_dri.so when on github

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

running Firefox 10.0.1 for openSuse 12.1, I'm getting freezes and crashes that appear to be video related.

see these crashes:

There were a half dozen more freezes that did not end up sending a breakpad report to Socorro.  In those cases, I had to SIGKILL Firefox.

Comment 1

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

You're using WebGL with the Nouveau 3D driver. The reason why it's not blacklisted is that no sane Linux distro ships it by default (I'm talking about the Nouveau 3D driver. The Nouveau 2D driver is a different thing, and is fine).

Does OpenSuse 12.1 ship the Nouveau 3D driver by default?
 - if yes, we need to blacklist it
 - if no, this is a RESOLVED INVALID: the Nouveau authors make it clear that Nouveau is not ready: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MesaDrivers , so we should be able to assume that if the user is running it, he's aware of its issues.

Comment 2

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

This was a fairly fresh install with no special attention to video drivers.  I can see that others have had a similar problem with the Nouveau 3D driver being chosen by default for this video card.  On trying the proprietary nVidia drivers, I find they barely work at all.  Tempted to do a complete reinstall and this time pay attention to what is loaded.

Comment 3

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

That's very worrying. We need to confirm with OpenSuse people what's really happening.

Comment 4

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

What is your video card btw? the proprietary nvidia driver should work fine.

Comment 6

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

Video card is nVidia Quadro FX 570  -- with the proprietary driver everything on the screen is slow: window dragging leaves artifacts, even typing in a terminal window, there is a lag on updating the screen.  Switching back to the original driver and things are fast, but things are crashy.  lose/lose situation.

Attachment: block Nouveau

Comment 8

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Lars, until this patch lands, you can get a usable Firefox by setting the webgl.disabled preference.

Comment 9

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46533#c3 confirms that OpenSuse is now installing Nouveau 3D by default, so we have to blacklist. What's still up for discussion is whether/when we can un-blacklist some versions / some cards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Might be worth getting an alternate translation at some point now that we have multiple special strings for the suggested driver version. I'm fine with this for now though.

[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): not our regression. OpenSuse started shipping a bad driver.
User impact if declined: WebGL crashy on OpenSuse (Linux distro) on NVIDIA cards
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): just landed on m-i
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): very low risk
String changes made by this patch: none

Also affects Ubuntu 11.10, 32-bit & 64-bit.

Comment 14

[Brandon Frohs]

Most likely relate to these crash signatures as well:

- nouveau_dri.so@0xa1a8a 
- nouveau_dri.so@0xa17ea 
- nouveau_dri.so@0xbd4af

Push backed out for xpcshell failures:

Comment 16

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

The xpcshell is unspecific about what went wrong, but this a D3D9 test on linux (!)... my best guess is that's caused by bug 696636.

Comment 17

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Lars: can you please paste here the contents of about:support Graphics and Modified Preferences? This crash should have been caught by the glxtest probe, so I'd like to understand what happened.

Comment 18

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

I fear things have changed a lot on my machine.  After installing the nVidia driver, all hell broke loose and I could not figure out how to return to the previous nouveau configuration.  After my workstation was useless all day, I threw up my hands (and my lunch), wiped the machine and reinstalled Suse 12.1.  Many updates were installed that I did not have before. While I have nouveau back, FF 10.0.2 is now installed and so far, it is no longer crashy.

Here's the current contents of "Modified Preferences" and "Graphics":

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Is WebGL still crashy? What happens if you visit e.g. http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html ?

The oddity you noticed is probably due to caching of blacklisting logic.

:bjacob, the aquarium Web page seems to work fine.  I set it at 250 fish, turned on all the options and left it running all afternoon.  I'm getting a steady 15 frames per second.

However, if I go to github and try to comment on a line of code in a pull request, FF freezes hard, requiring SIGKILL to stop it.  No breakpad crash report was generated.

[Triage Comment]
Although this is low risk, we're only approving for Aurora 12 based upon the low user benefit.

Comment 26

[Zack Weinberg (:zwol)]

This potentially affects any Linux user on any site that uses Modernizr to detect WebGL support.  It's not just a Github problem nor is it limited to SuSE.  (I personally tripped over it on html5boilerplate.com on a Debian machine.)

Also, it seems to me that there is no good reason not to backport all blocklist adjustments to all active branches.

The approval request in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729817#c12 was for Aurora only and noted that this issue is specific to OpenSUSE/Nvidia.

Benoit - can you clarify whether this is needed for FF11 in our final beta? We typically only take fixes in beta 6 that are backouts to known states or something we'd chemspill for.

I should have written out a formal approval request when I added the a+beta request.  Sorry about that.  But the whole reason I'm in this bug is to point out that it's a more widespread problem than was previously realized.

Comment 29

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Zack is right to say that this is a very widespread problem, much more so than I realized until this week. I thought that Nouveau 3D was only installed by a few enthusiasts, but it turns out that it's now installed by default by mainstream distros including Ubuntu 11.10 and OpenSuse.

Given that, and the very low risk, I would support taking this in 11.

But I also understand that this is disturbing from a process perspective, and it is true that we have lived with this crash in the wild since Firefox 7 times (and Ubuntu 11.10 has been out since October). It's increasingly becoming a problem with websites using "Modernizr" more, though, so maybe that gives us a good reason to make an exception.

re-requesting beta (Fx11) approval because I don't think the last several comments have been considered

Comment 32

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Not convinced enterprise users are doing heavy WebGL work with cutting-edge drivers, but if we think enough people are stumbling over this to take in Fx11 then maybe it is important enough. Or maybe it's worth blocking now so that we don't have to figure out where all the crashes are coming from on ESR six months from now.

Comment 33

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Again, this bug was initially filed about github.com. Indeed, many websites like github are using a library called 'modernizr' that creates a webgl context just to be cool.

Comment 34

[Zack Weinberg (:zwol)]

Interestingly, it *doesn't* crash on a couple of demo sites that actually do something with WebGL.

Fx 13 is the trunk build where the patch landed first.

I know! Doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe different context creation options.

[Scoobidiver (away)]

Aurora, Beta and Release are not target milestones because they bypass the channel train. The only target milestone is the trunk. Status flags are there to know if there was a channel bypass.

Taking a look at the total crashes over the past week across all Firefox versions (see [1]), this is not a critical fix that we should take in our sixth beta.

[1] https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/query/query?product=Firefox&version=ALL%3AALL&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&date=03%2F02%2F2012+18%3A10%3A31&query_search=signature&query_type=contains&query=nouveau_dri.so%40&reason=&build_id=&process_type=any&hang_type=any&do_query=1

Comment 40

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

Additionally, there's no need to track for the ESR. We'll be watching ESR top crash lists and if this moves up, we'll consider fixing it.

Comment 41

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

That's 23 crashes over the last week. While this is very low compared to our overall top-crashers, notice that Linux has only 1 or 2 % of desktop OS market share so it's hard for any linux crasher to look big in terms of absolute numbers of crashes. To put this in perspective, let's look at the topcrashers list for Linux:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/query/query?product=Firefox&version=ALL%3AALL&platform=linux&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&date=03%2F02%2F2012+18%3A10%3A31&query_search=signature&query_type=contains&query=&reason=&build_id=&process_type=any&hang_type=any&do_query=1

Here we see that the 100th Linux topcrasher has 26 occurences / week, so, indeed, the present crash is not even the 100th topcrasher on linux so I agree that it doesn't require emergency action. Just wanted to put this in perspective. In particular, given that the fix is so easy, I think that it's important enough to warrant landing in ESR.

Comment 42

[Brandon Frohs]

It should be noted that before disabling WebGL, my browser would crash almost every time I visited any page on GitHub. Most of the time, it did *not* send a crash report, because it would hang and have to be forced close, but Firefox didn't catch the crash. So, the numbers you have on file for crash stats are greatly skewed (to submit a bug report, I had to click the context menu rather than allowing the application to be forced close by Ubuntu).

Comment 43

[Brandon Frohs]

(In reply to Zack Weinberg (:zwol) from comment #34)

I never had any problem with WebGL, and have went out of my way to experiment with WebGL demos in my spare time. This is the first time I've ever had Firefox crash from it (and it wasn't even from a demo, just some script on GitHub).

Comment 44

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Comment 42 makes a very good point. Also, bug 731296 shows a similar issue (though "just" a X error, it still crashes firefox) with the 'radeon' driver, although I can't reproduce myself with he radeon driver.

Bug 732441 would remove all these crashes by avoiding touching OpenGL until WebGL is actually used (as opposed to just creating a WebGL context that doesn't get used).

I reenabled WebGL to test and your test did not crash Firefox, even after several refreshes. I went to GitHub, and it crashed on one of the first pages. See https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=nouveau_dri.so%400xa17ea -- Also note in the comments, the other person who claims to have had it crash 20 times in a row.

Comment 47

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

@bjocob: that url did _not_ trigger the problem. I got this output:

WebGL context successfully created in 70 ms.
Renderer: Mozilla
Version: WebGL 1.0

-----------

immediately thereafter, I opened a new tab, loaded github and tried to look at a Socorro pull request.  It crashed immediately: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-0d569d82-ad6d-4452-9650-a987c2120302

So, must have been pure luck. After GitHub crashed Firefox, I restarted, loaded up your example again, and it crashed. Here's the crash-stat link: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-37d941c3-53a3-4388-8d7e-1ecff2120302

What would it take to get nouveau white listed again?
Am I just lucky?

We'd need to understand what we can whitelist without re-enabling the crash for the original reporter here.

The most obvious difference is that you're on Mesa 8.0.1 while the original reporter is on 7.11. Maybe it's worth trying to confirm whether the crash can still be reproduced by anyone on Mesa 8.0.1+.

I see the crash on my computer, with

| Adapter Description    nouveau -- Gallium 0.4 on NV94
| Driver Version         2.1 Mesa 7.11.2
| WebGL Renderer         nouveau -- Gallium 0.4 on NV94 -- 2.1 Mesa 7.11.2

which is what's currently in Debian's "unstable" distribution.  They
have Mesa 8.0 (not 8.0.1) in "experimental", so I upgraded to that:

| Adapter Description    nouveau -- Gallium 0.4 on NV94
| Driver Version         2.1 Mesa 8.0
| WebGL Renderer         nouveau -- Gallium 0.4 on NV94 -- 2.1 Mesa 8.0

and the crash seems to be gone.  Formerly I could reproduce it with 100% reliability by going to http://html5boilerplate.com/docs/ and then quickly middle-clicking (i.e. "open in new tab") on a whole bunch of the links down the left-hand side.

This is with Firefox 10.  My local build of Firefox trunk declines to use nouveau for other reasons:

| Adapter Description     nouveau -- Gallium 0.4 on NV94
| Vendor ID               nouveau
| Device ID               Gallium 0.4 on NV94
| Driver Version          2.1 Mesa 8.0
| WebGL Renderer          Blocked for your graphics driver version.
|                         Try updating your graphics driver to version
|                         <Anything with EXT_texture_from_pixmap support>
|                         or newer.

Actually, that last is a bug; applying this patch to GfxInfoX11.cpp makes trunk accept Nouveau.  about:support is somehow getting the wrong suggestedDriverVersion string.  Filed bug 734297.

       if (mIsMesa) {
-        if (mIsNouveau) {
+        if (mIsNouveau && version(mMajorVersion, mMinorVersion, mRevisionVersion) < version(8,0,0)) {
           *aStatus = nsIGfxInfo::FEATURE_BLOCKED_DRIVER_VERSION;
-          aSuggestedDriverVersion.AssignLiteral("<Not the Nouveau driver>");
+          aSuggestedDriverVersion.AssignLiteral("Mesa 8.0");
         } else if (version(mMajorVersion, mMinorVersion, mRevisionVersion) < version(7,10,3)) {

Attachment: Allow Nouveau when Mesa >= 8.0

Right on Zack, this is your patch, just with a tiny simplification as version()'s 3rd argument is optional. r+, landing.

Allow Nouveau when Mesa >= 8.0

[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): this bug, bug 729817
User impact if declined: Nouveau 8.0+ will stay blacklisted in Firefox 12, denying WebGL to more users than necessary. We'll have to deal with angry people for no good reason, since we're allowing it in Firefox 13.
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): Mesa 8.0 tested by 2 people already (see recent comments). Patch just landed.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): If it turned out that Mesa 8.0 were still crashy, we'd have crashes again like before.
String changes made by this patch: none translatable.
