kernel log from module insert on gentoo-sources-6.2.2

Description Christopher Head 2023-02-22 07:28:24 UTC
This is a regression from gentoo-sources-5.15.88 (previous stable) to 6.1.12 (current stable).

With nouveau built-in, the kernel hangs at boot. With nouveau built as a module, modprobing it results in the modprobe process crashing but the system as a whole staying up.

Reproducible: Always

5.15.94 is also OK.
Comment 4 Florian Manschwetus 2023-03-04 16:12:08 UTC
I can confirm 6.1.13 and 6.1.15 are also affected, did someone test 6.2*?
Comment 5 Florian Manschwetus 2023-03-04 16:20:20 UTC
I have two laptops with additional nvidia graphics, the second, with far more recent hardware is not affected. So it seems to depend on sth generation/hardware specific.

Comment 7 Florian Manschwetus 2023-03-05 12:27:26 UTC
The problem is also there with 6.2.2, kernel log from module insert added, sadly X crashes on insert with 6.2.2.

Comment 9 Florian Manschwetus 2023-03-05 12:31:53 UTC
Maybe it depends on some kernel audio config??

Comment 10 Florian Manschwetus 2023-03-05 13:28:27 UTC
Just noticed that the system having this problem has no option to disable the dedicated graphics in bios, so I can blacklist nouveau, but this means I have no power control over the dedicated gpu, this is really ugly.
Comment 11 Christopher Head 2023-03-22 04:44:01 UTC
Problem appears to still be there in 6.1.19, which just stabilized. I didn’t actually check the log, but symptoms look the same.
Comment 12 Christopher Head 2023-03-22 15:27:51 UTC
5.15.102, recently stabilized, is also OK (*not* broken).
Comment 13 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2023-05-11 12:18:00 UTC
We'll watch the upstream bug and backport any patches identified
Comment 14 Christopher Head 2024-01-10 08:47:24 UTC
Upstream bug tracker claims this is fixed in 6.7.0, and my own testing agrees.
