dmesg WARNING: CPU and WARN_ON(!connector->state->crtc) messages

Hello: 

Never ending surprises ...

Came across this new set of entries in my dmsg log.
It's new, had not seen it when I had just installed ASCII in my 1000HE.

The [ cut here ] sort of tells me it is something abnormal and meant to be sent somewhere.

I've never seen this in four+ years of Linux distributions.

Can anyone shed a light on this and it's cause?

Thanks in advance.

Re: dmesg WARNING: CPU and WARN_ON(!connector->state->crtc) messages

It's related to building the kernel module for the i915 GPU driver and it's a trace (as you've already noticed) for the developer(s) which shouldn't really be there. Do you have any related .dev package installed on your system? It may have 'escaped' from there. Report it as a bug to whomever is/are the dev's for the Intel i915 driver.

Re: dmesg WARNING: CPU and WARN_ON(!connector->state->crtc) messages

Hello:

... related to building the kernel module for the i915 GPU driver
... it's a trace ...
... shouldn't really be there.

OK.
So it's just debugging information for the developer/maintainer?

... have any related .dev package installed ...

Related, none that I can see.

groucho@devuan:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i i9xx
ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel   2:2.99.917+git20161206-1   i386  X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver
groucho@devuan:~$ 

I've also had a thorough look in synaptic installed and no, none.

... may have 'escaped' from there.
Report it as a bug to whomever is/are the dev's for the Intel i915 ...

Would it still be a bug without there being an installed -dev package?

EDIT:

A search on the web for the last part of the initial string ie:

c:414 intel_fb_initial_config+0x3fc/0x5f0 [i915]

... got me this from 20 Feb 2017:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/ … 00265.html

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.6-3
Severity: important

The DRM driver for i915 hardware oopses in a systematic way during bootup on this Dell D430 using kernel 4.9 from testing/frozen.

Booting with kernel 3.16 from stable/updates doesn't produce these symptoms.

-- Package-specific info:
** Version:
Linux version 4.9.0-1-686-pae (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170124 (Debian 6.3.0-5) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.9.6-3 (2017-01-28)

Should I file something more?
It's been more than two years and it's still there.
Severity: important?
 
Thank you for your input.

A.

Re: dmesg WARNING: CPU and WARN_ON(!connector->state->crtc) messages

Yes, it's still a bug if no .dev package is installed. Worse even, as there's no logical path for this info to be generated, in such case I'd rate the issue very serious indeed.

It's indeed worth putting in a bug report for this, even after 2 years, as it clearly isn't completely rooted out yet. Make sure you provide as much relevant info to the circumstances of the occurrence of the bug so the dev's can replicate it accurately.

But the maintainers have to think so too ...    =-D

Done.

... clearly isn't completely rooted out ...

I have not seen any indication of its being assigned.

... provide as much relevant info to the circumstances ...

Yes ...
kern.log snippet, lshw, lspci, lsusb, lsmod and kernel-image information.

Being a bug with a number, I sent mail to the <bug_number>@bugs.debian.org address.
Hope it is enough and that I've done it properly.

Thanks for your input.

Re: dmesg WARNING: CPU and WARN_ON(!connector->state->crtc) messages

Hello:

Hello:
I have not seen any indication of its being assigned.

I'm running the last available Devuan 4.9.0.11-686-pae SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u1 (2089-09-20) i686 and the problem subsists.

Will this ever get fixed or will it end up as part of the 'won't fix' crud that ends up accumulating inside the code because it is not considered worth correcting?
