Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2021 6:22 pm Post subject: [SOLVED - sort of] nvidia module causing problems with udev? |
|
|
Hello! I'm returning to Gentoo after a long absence. New hardware, fresh install.
I'm getting a weird, intermittent problem, which appears to be related to the nvidia module somehow. It has three main symptoms:
- X doesn't start
- When restarting the system, "Stopping udev" takes an unusually long time
- The system hangs at "remounting filesystems readonly" and never actually reboots
Either all three of these things happen, or none of them happen and the system functions as expected. Sometimes I get an additional error at shutdown that the root filesystem can't be remounted readonly because it's in use.
There's nothing different in /var/log/Xorg.0.log when the problem occurs. The reason I think this is related to nvidia is that blacklisting the nvidia module from the kernel cmdline in grub seems to fix the problem (except still no X, of course). I think there must be some kind of race condition at boot, because it seems arbitrary whether the problem happens or not. I'm hoping someone can recognise the symptoms and point me in a useful direction... _________________ Ryzen 5600x; Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus; Geforce 1660 Super

Do you have this as a kernel paeameter
Code: |
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
|
?
Have you already emerged xorg--server and kde?
How is your kernel?
What us dmesg saying
Code: |
dmesg | grep -i nvidia
|
Also you should blacklist nouveau NOT nvidia
Or remove nouveau from
Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nouveau"
|
and rebuild @world _________________

I don't have that kernel parameter. I'll try it and see if it helps - thanks.
I've emerged everything, and have a fully functional system when it works. The problem started appearing after I set everything up.
My kernel is very well thankyou, how's yours? Not sure what you're asking me there!
The one thing that changed along with the problem appearing is I moved the system partition from my HDD to my NVMe drive. I updated fstab of course, and I can't think how it could be relevant - but as the problem appeared almost straight after doing it I thought I should mention it. _________________ Ryzen 5600x; Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus; Geforce 1660 Super

I meant is your kernel properly configured?
If you moved your partition
you should update
/etc/default/grub
rebuild your initrd if any
and run update grub
in addition to fstab which you already did.
Also is your kernel supprorting nvme?
Is your kernel supporting all file systems
?
This is what i meant "how is your kernel"
for starters plz use the above kernel parameter and blacklist nouveau.
I think the nvidia issue is different from your other issues. _________________

Hmm, the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 parameter doesn't seem to help. As far as I know the kernel is correctly configured, although it's obviously in question. It has booted just fine before, though - like I said the problem is intermittent. I just configured and booted the latest 5.12 kernel, but it didn't help.
Regards nvme support, grub, filesystems etc - yes, all present and correct.
The only interesting thing from dmesg is this:
Code: | nvidia-gpu 0000:07:00.3: i2c timeout error e0000000 |
I tried "time udevadm settle" and it took almost exactly 2 minutes. Is that normal? _________________ Ryzen 5600x; Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus; Geforce 1660 Super

it seems abnormal no?
How did you move the partition from hdd to nvme?
Was it the / partition? _________________

It does seem abnormal, so I think the problem is likely related to udev somehow. "Stopping udev" at shutdown hangs for 30 seconds. I gave up waiting for "remounting read only" after 7 minutes...
I have everything except EFI on one partition, and I moved it using rsync -aHAXv _________________ Ryzen 5600x; Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus; Geforce 1660 Super

Perfect.So this is NOT an acl perm or xattr issue.
Also your lsmod did not indicate the the presence of nouveau.
This is good because nouveau conflicts with the nvidia-drivers and should be blacklisted.
BUT
my lsmod
Code: |
lsmod | egrep "nvidia|nouveeau"
nvidia_drm 57344 2
nvidia_modeset 1142784 2 nvidia_drm
nvidia 34459648 72 nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper 286720 2 nvidia_drm,i915
drm 577536 13 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm,i915
|
seems more detailed than yours...
Also maybe rebuild
?
There is alot of nvidia content in
linux-firmware
Do you have it installed?
I still worry about your kernel lacking .config.Perhaps needlessly.........
What does
Code: |
lspci -v | grep -i 3d -A30
|
say? _________________

Rebuilding eudev appeared to help, ("udevadm settle" settled immediately), but only because I restarted the udev service after rebuilding. Rebooted and it was back to how it was.
linux-firmware is installed and up to date. I don't need to reinstall it for each new kernel, do I?
lspci | grep -i 3d finds nothing.
modprobe nvidia_drm just hangs...

Hmm, the recent closeout comments on this long running bug suggest the nvidia driver no longer has anything to do with udev.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/454740
Curious then that when udev hangs, the nvidia-drm module won't load, but when udev works correctly nvidia-drm does load... I don't know udev well enough to investigate the connection, but maybe there's some leftover bad config sending udev astray?
Maybe one time in five I boot, and everything just works. Seems to be usually after I've changed something. But then when I reboot, I'm always back where I was...
[edit]
Just noticed one of my udevd threads is pegging one of my CPU cores at 100%! lsof says it has several kernel modules open, including nvidia.ko. Connection confirmed?
[more edit]
The CPU-eating udev process is unkillable, even with -9. This would explain:
- Why udev-related commands hang
- Why I can't rmmod nvidia (the module is in use by the udev process)
- Why the system can't remount filesystems readonly on shutdown (the unkillable udev process is still running)
If I boot with the nvidia module blacklisted in the kernel command line, I don't get this behaviour, but of course I can't have X then either so it's not really a solution.
[even more edit]
This person seems to have a related problem, which is also intermittent - ie. usually present, but sometimes not.
This thread might be a dupe of this one. _________________ Ryzen 5600x; Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus; Geforce 1660 Super

I posted in the other thread last week. Wondering if anyone has found a solution for this yet.
I have all the same symptoms. The system will only shutdown if the uptime is ~ a day.
If you get to the bottom of any of this I'd greatly appreciate the solution you found |

^ This is kind of off topic, this thread is about a udev+nvidia issue. It's better to make a new thread than hijack an old one, but I'll answer anyway.

nvidia-drm.modeset=1 | You don't need to worry about this if you don't use it, it's a module option for nvidia-drm that you'd have to set manually at the moment, so you'd know if you set it. That form is something you'd pass to the kernel command line / grub options.
nvidia-drivers-470.xx will set this by default if USE=wayland through /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf (option used to not be in it, but was added a few days ago), but 460.xx doesn't have this USE flag and keeps that disabled for now.
Either way I do recommend to set the requested option, drivers aren't tested much without it and also won't work out of the box (not that it's impossible to use that way, so it's not hard-required). |

Thanks, I search before posting and this seemed most relevant ... people having issues with Nvidia on new installs.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/nvidia-drivers says to disable that. So I did.
Once upon a time someone said I was having problems because I configured my own kernel. So when I built this box, I thought I would use GenKernel. But Gentoo handbook said no.
"We explain the manual configuration as the default choice here as it is the best way to optimize an environment.".

So the Nvidia instruction page is wrong then?
Curious.

Curious. | Ah I didn't see it at first (it's only in the troubleshooting section), yes partially it's wrong.
That page is user-edited, so it's not really curious. I may reconsider having the nvidia ebuild point to that page unless I bother editing it. Lot of this is outdated / unnecessary.
For the most parts nvidia-drivers work out of the box (no need to even make a configuration file like it tells you unless you're using a dual gpu / optimus setup or so).
Edit: I was kind of hoping not to have to (not the best at writing docs / editing wikis and have other things to do), but I've put revamping that page on my TODO (or maybe just remove a few wrong bits at first). The more I look at it, the worse it looks. Much of this seem to date back to >10 years ago and nobody is daring clean it up. Disabling DRM was fine with old drivers for what it's worth, but not now that nvidia has a nvidia-drm module. |

For the sake of completeness - I updated a few things, and (fingers crossed) since then the problem has vanished.
Things I updated that might be relevant (giving the new versions that are now working):
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-470.63.01
gentoo-sources-5.13.13
sys-fs/eudev-3.2.10-r1
Still no idea what caused the problem, or why it went away unfortunately. I'll mark this thread as solved though. _________________ Ryzen 5600x; Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus; Geforce 1660 Super
