[note to David Ober: you -should- be able to reply to this, hopefully, but I haven't actually tested that so results may vary]
Hi again! Sorry I didn't fully answer all of the questions you originally asked in this email, I had to get in contact with Lenovo to make sure that it was OK for me to disclose more details on this bug (and I had PTO scheduled immediately after I asked). I've added David Ober from Lenovo to this thread as well. So now that I've got Lenovo's approval I can answer those questions, and give some better answers for the others! (see below)

Hi Lyude,

On a very specific subset of ThinkPad P50 SKUs, particularly ones that come with a Quadro M1000M chip instead of the M2000M variant, the BIOS seems to have a very nasty habit of not always resetting the secondary Nvidia GPU between full reboots if the laptop is configured in Hybrid Graphics mode. The reason for this happening is unknown, but the following steps and possibly a good bit of patience will reproduce the issue:
- Boot up the laptop normally in Hybrid graphics mode
- Make sure nouveau is loaded and that the GPU is awake
- Allow the nvidia GPU to runtime suspend itself after being idle
- Reboot the machine, the more sudden the better (e.g sysrq-b may help)
- If nouveau loads up properly, reboot the machine again and go back to
step 2 until you reproduce the issue
This results in some very strange behavior: the GPU will quite literally be left in exactly the same state it was in when the previously booted kernel started the reboot. This has all sorts of bad sideaffects: for starters, this completely breaks nouveau starting with a mysterious EVO channel failure that happens well before we've actually used the EVO channel for anything:
There are a lot of moving parts here that are probably obvious to you but not to me. I need help untangling this a bit so I'm comfortable that we got to the root cause and that we're doing something logical as opposed to something that just happens to make things work. I really don't know enough to even ask the right questions...
I completely understand! I'm pretty sure I'd be just as skeptical if I was in your position reviewing a patch like this :P
Is there a bug report for this? Bugzilla.kernel.org would be ideal, including "lspci -vvxxx" and dmidecode for the system.
Not yet, but there has been discussion about this between nouveau developers on our IRC channel.
I lied: yes there actually is a bug report for this, but it's currently on the Red Hat bugzilla. I can get more information from it if you need (with lenovo's approval of course).
Is this running a current BIOS? The date in your log below looks pretty recent, so I assume it is current.
Yes, this is the most up to date BIOS available for this system.
And additionally: I've been working with Lenovo on this issue for a couple of months now, and we've gone through dozens of different trial BIOSes with no success thus far. However, Lenovo is currently working on trying to add this workaround into their BIOS but I've been told that this change is going to take a decent amount of time since they need to test it across multiple operating systems. I'd be happy to come back and add a conditional later to turn this workaround off for later BIOS versions once Lenovo has released a proper fix.
With all of that being said, [how] do you think we should proceed?
I assume "hybrid graphics" means you have two GPUs. Do you select hybrid graphics mode in the BIOS?
Yes, the P50 has two available modes in the BIOS: Dedicated (e.g. only the nvidia GPU is used for everything), and Hybrid (i915 drives the built-in display panel, nouveau drives everything else). This bug only seems to occur in Hybrid mode.
I assume when you say the Nvidia GPU doesn't get reset on a full reboot, you're talking about a "warm reboot", and that if you actually remove the power and do a cold reboot, there's no problem?
If you meant "unplugging the power adapter" when you said cutting the power we don't need to go that far, but shutting down the machine and restarting it by hand does avoid the problem yes.
I assume Nvidia GPU being active means you are using the performance GPU. Does that mean the integrated GPU is completely unused and Linux does nothing at all with it? Is Linux doing any switching between them? If so, how? I am not 100% confident in the code I've seen that does the switching.
"Switching" isn't really the right word to describe it these days as the process for how this is handled has changed quite a bit in the last few years. As I mentioned above, the main intel GPU is used for driving the built-in display. As for the nvidia GPU, it's used to drive any kind of external displays connected to the P50 and can also be used to do rendering through DRI PRIME. The connector hookups are mostly hardcoded as there isn't really much of a mux, unlike the old days where we could actually do things like switch which GPU was driving the internal display on the fly with vga-switcheroo using the _DSM methods provided by ACPI.
Nowadays muxless laptops like the ThinkPad P50 don't make much use of _DSM for power management and instead just runtime suspend the dedicated nvidia GPU when it's not in use. We rely on the PCI subsystem to invoke the _PR3 ACPI methods for suspending and resuming the GPU and don't handle much of it ourselves anymore:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/driv...
(You can ignore the call to nouveau_switcheroo_optimus_dsm() there; it doesn't do anything on systems like the P50 where we detect _PR3)
Additionally-if you see any problems with how we're handling things there we're all ears! We've been trying to fix as many issues with runtime PM as we can find.
Something else to consider here too: I've only ever managed to reproduce this issue on this specific P50 SKU. Since I work on Desktop engineering at Red Hat we have access to a very large number of laptops with hybrid GPU setups. Interestingly I haven't ever reproduced anything like this on any of them, even P50 SKUs with the M2000M GPU instead of the M1000M (which are almost identical, they're both GM107 chips) I can follow the same steps that I followed to reproduce this bug and it never appears.
Another thing to note: this bug also doesn't appear to happen 100% of the time. Some warm reboots the GPU will be reset by the BIOS perfectly fine.

From which the GPU never manages to recover. Booting without nouveau loading causes issues as well, since the GPU starts sending spurious interrupts that cause other device's IRQs to get disabled by the kernel:
irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) … handlers: [<000000007faa9e99>] i801_isr [i2c_i801] Disabling IRQ #16 … serio: RMI4 PS/2 pass-through port at rmi4-00.fn03 i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Timeout waiting for interrupt! i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Transaction timeout rmi4_f03 rmi4-00.fn03: rmi_f03_pt_write: Failed to write to F03 TX register (-110). i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Timeout waiting for interrupt! i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Transaction timeout rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_set_irq_bits: Failed to change enabled interrupts!
Which in turn causes the touchpad and sometimes even other things to get disabled.
Since the GPU staying on causes problems even without nouveau's intervention, we can't fix this problem from nouveau itself. We have to fix it as early as possible in the boot sequence in order to make sure that the GPU is in a clean state before it has a chance to spam us with interrupts and break things.
Was nouveau loaded *before* the reboot? Or can you reproduce the spurious interrupts even if you do a cold reboot without nouveau, then a warm reboot again without nouveau?
Nouveau was loaded before the reboot, yes, and as far as I'm aware this bug won't show up following the steps you described here. We wouldn't really notice the interrupts if this bug happened without nouveau loaded (since the BIOS doesn't arm them). However, I can confirm it's being reset each on each warm reboot when nouveau's completely disabled by sticking values into some MMIO registers we know the VBIOS doesn't touch followed by rebooting in order to see if they retain their value (this is how I discovered that the GPU wasn't being power cycled in the first place, if the values I stick into said registers gets cleared after reboot then the GPU was reset, otherwise it wasn't).
So to do this, we add a new pci quirk using DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_FINAL that will be invoked before the PCI probe at boot finishes. From there, we check to make sure that this is indeed the specific P50 variant of this GPU. We also make sure that the GPU PCI device is advertising NoReset- in order to prevent us from trying to reset the GPU when the machine is in Dedicated graphics mode (where the GPU being initialized by the BIOS is normal and expected). Finally, we try mapping the MMIO space for the GPU which should only work if the GPU is actually active in D0 mode. We can then read the magic 0x2240c register on the GPU, which will have bit 1 set if the GPU's firmware has already been posted during a previous boot. Once we've confirmed all of this, we reset the PCI device and re-disable it - bringing the GPU back into a healthy state.
