Decoding a GPUVM Page Fault =========================== If you see a GPU page fault in the kernel log, you can decode it to figure out what is going wrong in your application. A page fault in your kernel log may look something like this: :: [gfxhub0] no-retry page fault (src_id:0 ring:24 vmid:3 pasid:32777, for process glxinfo pid 2424 thread glxinfo:cs0 pid 2425) in page starting at address 0x0000800102800000 from IH client 0x1b (UTCL2) VM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS:0x00301030 Faulty UTCL2 client ID: TCP (0x8) MORE_FAULTS: 0x0 WALKER_ERROR: 0x0 PERMISSION_FAULTS: 0x3 MAPPING_ERROR: 0x0 RW: 0x0 First you have the memory hub, gfxhub and mmhub. gfxhub is the memory hub used for graphics, compute, and sdma on some chips. mmhub is the memory hub used for multi-media and sdma on some chips. Next you have the vmid and pasid. If the vmid is 0, this fault was likely caused by the kernel driver or firmware. If the vmid is non-0, it is generally a fault in a user application. The pasid is used to link a vmid to a system process id. If the process is active when the fault happens, the process information will be printed. The GPU virtual address that caused the fault comes next. The client ID indicates the GPU block that caused the fault. Some common client IDs: - CB/DB: The color/depth backend of the graphics pipe - CPF: Command Processor Frontend - CPC: Command Processor Compute - CPG: Command Processor Graphics - TCP/SQC/SQG: Shaders - SDMA: SDMA engines - VCN: Video encode/decode engines - JPEG: JPEG engines PERMISSION_FAULTS describe what faults were encountered: - bit 0: the PTE was not valid - bit 1: the PTE read bit was not set - bit 2: the PTE write bit was not set - bit 3: the PTE execute bit was not set Finally, RW, indicates whether the access was a read (0) or a write (1). In the example above, a shader (cliend id = TCP) generated a read (RW = 0x0) to an invalid page (PERMISSION_FAULTS = 0x3) at GPU virtual address 0x0000800102800000. The user can then inspect their shader code and resource descriptor state to determine what caused the GPU page fault. UMR === `umr <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/tomstdenis/umr>`_ is a general purpose GPU debugging and diagnostics tool. Please see the umr `documentation <https://umr.readthedocs.io/en/main/>`_ for more information about its capabilities. |
