Dear all,

Maybe I'm the only one - so before filing it as a bug: it appears that
the latest set of kernel patches in 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 makes issue
0013763 "CentOS 7.4 kernel (3.10.0-693*) fails to boot as Xen PV guest"
re-surface *also* with the CentOS PLUS kernel. But maybe in a
different way ...

Thanks to the (great!) quick work on making the plus kernel available
(in #14330, thanks for that!) I was able to test the following
combinations:

- 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus works fine on XenServer 7 HVM guests
- 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.centos.plus works fine on XenServer 7 XenPV guests
- 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus crashes on boot for XS7 XenPV guests
   immediately after the boot stage where the PS/2 drivers are loaded

Crashing does not depend on the amount of VM memory or #cores/sockets.
Also, the tell-tale "mm/vmalloc.c" failure output is no longer present.
The system 'just' crashes (with the kernel log lines as below) around the
time of the i8042 controller probing.

Obviously the stock upstream 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 crashes as well for
XS7 XenPV guests, but that was to be expected as per 0013763.
It crashes in the same way, around the time of the i8042 probes.

Can anyone (maybe bill_mcgonigle?) reproduce the issue?
Did the KPTI patches break the XenPV fixes in CentOS Plus per 13763?
Or is this a new XenPV issue?


?You may want to be watching the centos-virt mailing list. Xen-related
issues are discussed there.

This thread:

?
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2018-January/005716.html

?has a response from Johnny Hughes with a possible solution.


And specifically, this message has links to the 4.9.75 x86_64 kernel
that will boot and run as a Xen PV kernel:

https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2018-January/005721.html

Also, the latest Xen Dom0 kernel 4.9.75 kernel will also boot a DomU Xen
PV.  That kernel is still in testing, and also requires the latest
linux-firmware rpms:

https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/

or

https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/6/virt/x86_64/


(And your xen version ... xen-44/, xen-46/, xen-48/)

Those kernels should be signed released to the main Xen repo sometime
this week.

And as someone has mentioned in another thread (Phil Perry), please read
Greg K-H's (the Kernel.org LTS maintainer, he is in charge of the 4.9.x
LTS tree that we use for the above kernels):

Thanks for the confirmation it fixes the issue. I've just updated my 
local machine, which was unaffected by this issue, ran a few quick tests 
(glmark2) and can confirm 384.11 looks fine on my hardware.


Just keep in mind, this will be a package 'downgrade' from version 
387.34 in the elrepo testing repository due to the lower version number.

384.111.

Thanks. For reference, I did the same test. With the driver downloaded

Where do you look for this at nvidia, in the community forums? Or is

I would start by posting in the forums as you did (below). I'm not aware 
of an official bug tracker either.



There is an updated version 387.34 short-lived branch driver available in
the elrepo testing repository that you could test to see whether the issue
has been fixed in this latest release (only available for el7 currently).


Surprisingly, I couldn't reproduce the issue anymore. Therefore at
first sight it seems to be fixed in the 387.34 driver.



Excellent. Hopefully sounds like the issue may already have been fixed.


I posted a question at nvidia anyway:

(although I'm not sure it is the right place, still having some issues

Yes, I would have posted to the same place.


Will short-lived drivers ever make it into the official elrepo
repository? Or will only the long-lived drivers be included in the
official repository?


Normally elrepo only releases the long term branch for Enterprise Linux, 
on the assumption EL users will welcome the implied stability over more 
frequent and potentially buggy releases.


In this case I had built the current short lived release as a user 
requested it for compatibility with the latest CUDA. However, as it is a 
short term branch release, it will stay in the testing repository 
indefinitely and will not be promoted to the main repository. Once it's 
been superseded by a subsequent long term branch release I will likely 
just delete it from the testing repo. That said, it should be fine to 
use (at your own risk).

keep in mind that an nVIDIA GeForce is a consumer graphics device and the
NVS xxx series device is a business product similar to the nVIDIA Quadro
...
(with Windows they have different video drivers ...)

Thank you for the confirmation. I found a similar report on debian also

[CentOS] Nvidia maximum pixel clock issue in kmod-nvidia-384.98

2018-01-03 Thread Danny Smit
Hi everyone,

On CentOS 7 I'm running into an issue with the latest nvidia driver
from elrepo: kmod-nvidia-384.98-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64
This driver version seem to introduce issue in detecting video modes
when a monitor is connected using DVI. As soon as the machine attempts
to start X, nothing happens and the monitor goes into sleep mode
reporting that it has 'no signal'.

It is interesting because it occurs with several monitors, but only
when they are connected through DVI. When using VGA it works like a
charm.
Also it did work without problems with the previous driver version
(kmod-nvidia-384.90-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64), with the exact same setup.

In this case the issue occurs with an Nvidia NVS 315. I don't know if
other nvidia cards are affected.

The following information from Xorg.0.log seems of interest:

The log shows "0.0 MHz maximum pixel clock" for the DVI connections.
When enabling ModeDebug in the xorg.conf it shows that all of the
resolutions are rejected because of incorrect maximum pixel clock:
