[RESOLVED] Frequent temporary hangs with 20.04 and 5.7.0-19.1-liquorix-amd64
Hi
I had a largely stock Ubuntu 20.04 and installed Liquorix because I was after fsync support for gaming (which worked very well on Greedfall btw, I went from 10-15 FPS to over 60 - thanks!). After installing I noticed frequent - at least every minute - and temporary hangs where all input methods became unresponsive for 2-15 seconds. This happened regardless of what I was doing (scrolling through a page in Firefox, typing in slack, using a terminal). Keyboard input during each hang was buffered and output after it unfroze. This is reproduceable for me with 5.7.0-19.1-liquorix-amd64, and it happens under X11 or Wayland. It goes away if I downgrade kernels back to 5.4.0-45-generic. Watching top whilst it happens doesn't tell me anything because it wouldn't update during the time it was hung. Nothing interesting shows up in sys logs. I've tried disabling swap (not really used on this machine anyway) due to some similar ubuntu reports. I've run out of ideas. Any tips on how to investigate further please? Thanks! :: Code ::

Are you getting this behavior only on 5.7.0-19.1? Since development of the kernel quickly moves on to the next major version, a lot of stable patches make it back to the last stable kernel with new errata, but since the kernel goes EOL, these issues are left outstanding.
I'll be working on getting 5.8 going the end of this week and this weekend, so I don't have much else to say besides a big update is coming soon (also pending an official port of MuQSS from Con). One thing you can try in the meantime, what happens if you boot with the parameter, rqshare=mc? Liquorix is configured to use mc-llc, which configures a runqueue per CCX on Ryzen, but maybe there's something buggy happening there. Also, can you refresh your inxi output for when you're running Liquorix? Just want to make sure nothing obvious sticks out. And finally, this output of your GPU looks odd, the output seems to indicate you're using LLVM which is more typical with software acceleration: OpenGL: renderer: Radeon RX 580 Series (POLARIS10 DRM 3.35.0 5.4.0-45-generic LLVM 10.0.1) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.2.0-rc3 Back to top |

Hi and thanks for the reply.
Yes I've only tried 5.7.0-19.1, happy to give 5.8 a spin when it's ready. I'll try rqshare=mc tomorrow and update with the results and inxi output. You are right about the GPU output - I had forgotten I was running a mesa RC from ernstp/mesarc to see if newer driver versions helped with some game stability issues. I will try again with the 20.0.8 mesa that comes from focal. Cheers Back to top |

Also quick update, I released a 5.8 kernel on all avenues (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu). So far so good, try upgrading to that and see if it helps.

Running the 5.8 kernel resolved this for me - thanks for the help.

Great! I'll mark this thread as resolved.

Hi, Sadly it does not seem resolved for me. I used liquorix 5.7 before and had issues similar as described here. I didn't have time to diagnose so I switched back to stock. When I hear that 5.8 was out I decided to give it a go. The hangs seem to be shorter and less frequent but they are still there. The good news is that using rqshare=mc everything goes butter smooth.
Here is my inxi -bxx output: :: Code ::

I recall I read somewhere that amgpu driver is aware of zen topology and pins itself to a particular ccx, maybe that is causing some scheduling conflict when using mc-llc? Regards[/i] Back to top |

Thanks for finding the change that resolves this behavior. I pushed out a change setting MC runqueue sharing as default and will push out a new kernel shortly: github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/commit/bfc9cf6bfa25e4e4fa9261c63f59b9c325802236

rechapita, before you go completely, could you post the MuQSS RQ output from dmesg/journalctl -k in full to this forum? It will be useful in the future for Con or someone else to diagnose what might be going on with these newer Zen2+ generation CPUs.
And the output you're looking for will roughly start and end like this: :: Code :: MuQSS possible/present/online CPUs: 16/16/16
