iommu page fault causes blank screen under Manjaro 20.04?
#1
Hello, I used the emmc installer image to put Manjaro 20.04 on my PBP and was happily setting it up as a system I'd use for many months. I was running out of things to change when the screen started to go blank during use. The PBP runs for about an hour longer until it won't respond to SSH any more. I searched dmesg and journalctl for errors and warnings or things to do with the display, but didn't find anything that looked like a problem to me. This installation is using Gnome, mesa-git, Panfrost, and is using GDM to get Wayland sessions. The problem may have started after switching to GDM and Wayland.

Once this had happened a few times, I realized closing the lid would put something in the journal to show where it happened. Here is the results of 'journalctl -r --no-hostname'. You can see just before I closed the lid, rk_iommu said quite a bit, including page faults And before that Tracker was core dumping, which is all over the journal so doesn't appear to be causing the the blank screen. Does anyone have ideas on tracking the problem down?

I've found lots of instances on the web of people having tracker using a tremendous amount of CPU and memory. Can you try disabling tracker to see if that is the problem. Or perhaps also ask this in the Manjaro arm forum.... . I believe tracker and tracker-miner packages are installed with GNOME. I am running the KDE Plasma version of 20.04, and don't have tracker running, nor am I seeing the problem you are having.

I can try disabling tracker, but I had been watching resource use, it never got too close to max and the PBP didn't appear to be grinding to a halt. The other info I have now is that it only happens under Wayland. Describing the problem clearly for the post made me think more systematically and realize that the change to GDM+Wayland was around the time the problem started and I hadn't tried Xorg again. Since I posted I have been using GNOME on Xorg without problem. Enough uptime has passed that I'm sure the problem would have occurred in a Wayland session. So unless tracker or other programs are acting differently in the two sessions, it seems related to Wayland so I can now poke around in that direction (without fear of the screen going blank in the middle of something!)

The 2020-04-17 stable update from Manjaro appeared to solve this. The kernel, Wayland, and mesa-git were all updated among more than 90 other packages so I don't know what was going on or what fixed it.
