VAAPI hardware acceleration is broken: `vaInitialize failed with error code 2 (resource allocation failed),exit`

Issue behavior

Describe the current behavior

Video hardware acceleration is broken on my laptop with both the Intel HD Graphics as well as the Radeon GPU.

❯ DRI_PRIME=1 LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi vainfo 
iris: driver missing
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so init failed
vaInitialize failed with error code 2 (resource allocation failed),exit

However, when LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD, vainfo works perfectly but MPV output is broken as seen in the screenshot below:

[ffmpeg] AVHWDeviceContext: Failed to query surface attributes: 20 (the requested function is not implemented).

With DRI_PRIME=0 and LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD, video playback does work but keeps dropping frames. Video playback is unwatchable due to frame drops and stuttering. On average, in a 60fps video, 27 frames are dropped every second.

Describe the expected behavior

Video playback works without dropping any frames.

Debug information

• What's libva/libva-utils/gmmlib/media-driver version? 22.2.2-1
• Could you confirm whether GPU hardware exist or not by ls /dev/dri?
  • Hardware exists
• Could you provide vainfo log if possible by vainfo >vainfo.log 2>&1?
  • See above
• Could you provide libva trace log if possible? Run cmd export LIBVA_TRACE=/tmp/libva_trace.log first then execute the case.

• Do you want to contribute a patch to fix the issue? (yes/no): maybe if someone can point me in the right direction

Also, the radeonsi driver does work when manually pointed to the card:

[XinfengZhang]

there looks 2 issue

1. why gallium radeonsi does not work on your machine. TBH, it should not be reported here
2. why KBL MPV has artifact, could you share your command line and MPV version, also libva log?

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@XinfengZhang Libva:

MPV log with iHD: mpv.log

why gallium radeonsi does not work on your machine. TBH, it should not be reported here

Well it is an Intel+AMD chip. Moreover, it says iris so I thought it would belong here.

[Jexu]

Per iHD driver only, the libva-trace log shows invalid surface id sent to media driver to export the surface for display. So it looks like frame drop or corrupted. Perhaps the decode results are correct but getting invalid surface to display.

Could you try other app like sample decoder or ffmpeg to check if the decode yuv is correct?

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@Jexu Do you mean this sample decoder?

[Jexu]

Please get more help from https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@Jexu Thanks for the information. I first extracted the video stream from the .webm file as described here. I get this error with sample_decode:

[Jexu]

Could you share the full log of failure. How about ffmpeg decode? If possible, you could share your stream.ivf to me to try.

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@Jexu This is the entire output I get when running sample_decode. LIBVA_TRACE also does not create a log file.

This is what happens with ffmpeg:

From above log, it seems that amd gpu node is opened, but with iHD driver used. Can you give all gpu node 'll /dev/dri' and try to open with other gpu node like: LIBVA_TRACE=/tmp/libva_trace.log DRI_PRIME=1 LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=/dev/dri/card0

I tried ffmpeg with both vaapi=/dev/dri/card0 and vaapi=/dev/dri/card1 and I still get the same error as in my previous comment. Setting DRI_PRIME to 0 or 1 also does not create any difference.

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@jexu I also get this in journalctl:

[Jexu]

What is your kernel version?

iHD driver calls the drm ioctl to get some hw infos from kernel, but your kernel returns invalid result with failure. Perhaps something wrong in kernel. Please capture the dmesg log with setting ‘echo 0xff > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug’

then share the log on screen.

So it is obvious that renderD128 is amd gpu while renderD129 is intel gpu. But your above failure is caused by iHD driver running on amd drm module.

How about LIBVA_TRACE=/tmp/libva_trace.log DRI_PRIME=1 LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=/dev/dri/renderD129

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@Jexu I get the same error unfortunately:

[Jexu]

Look like that vaapi=/dev/dri/renderD129 cann't force iHD driver calling into i915 module. Do you try to disable amd gpu?

[AbhyudayaSharma]

No. I haven't done anything like that. I just have these environment variables setup:

DRI_PRIME=1
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi
VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi

I don't think these should cause any problems.

EDIT: LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME is only for testing. The other two are not.

[Jexu]

unset DRI_PRIME and VDPAU_DRIVER since DRI_PRIME =1 will chose dgpu firstly. then DRI_PRIME=0 LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=/dev/dri/renderD129

[AbhyudayaSharma]

@Jexu I unset VDPAU_DRIVER and DRI_PRIME and rebooted. I still get the same message:

Interestingly, I also see this when booted with DRI_PRIME=1:

❯ env -u DRI_PRIME LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/renderD128
DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_APERTURE failed: Invalid argument

This is the same error we get with ffmpeg.

What I think happens is that ffmpeg uses renderD128 even when tell it to use renderD129

[AbhyudayaSharma]

Now, when booted with DRI_PRIME=0 and unset VDPAU_DRIVER and LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME, radeonsi works with renderD128 and renderD129.

❯ LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=/dev/dri/renderD128

However, iHD doesn't work with either:

[AbhyudayaSharma]

I read the man page and there was an error in the ffmpeg command. It should have been vaapi:/dev/dri/renderD129 instead of vaapi=/dev/dri/renderD129.

[Jexu]

You can refere to ffmpeg wiki https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/VAAPI to get more input option. Anyway, is your issue solved with iHD driver?

[Jexu]

Since the issue is caused by running iHD driver on amd gpu by wrong env variable setting. I will closed it and you could re-open it again if any other problems.
