            Bug ID: 268276
           Summary: Regression: Black screen on resume caused by commit
                    9e007a88d65b
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ashafer@badland.io

I've finally narrowed down the cause for suspend/resume breaking on my ryzen
system for the past year. Commit 9e007a88d65b changed the polling rate of
atkbd, which for some reason causes the GPU to disappear off the PCI bus,
leaving the screen black.

    atkbd: Reduce polling rate from 10Hz to ~1Hz.

    In my understanding this is only needed to workaround lost interrupts.
    I was thinking to remove it completely, but the comment about edge-
    triggered interrupt may be true and needs deeper investigation.  ~1Hz
    should be often enough to handle the supposedly rare loss cases, but
    rare enough to not appear in top.  Add sysctl hw.atkbd.hz to tune it.

    MFC after:      1 month

The workaround is to put sysctl hw.atkbd.hz=10 in /boot/loader.conf

System is AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, TUF Gaming b550-PLUS motherboard, NVIDIA GTX 960.
I did update the motherboard firmware but that didn't help.

Usually when resuming you can ssh into the machine, but if you try to do
anything graphical the following prints:

Dec  9 02:12:32 mick kernel: NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:07:00:

I first noticed this on GhostBSD, and for some reason couldn't reproduce the
bisect range on FreeBSD kernels. I had to bisect between GhostBSD's 21.12.24
and 22.3.16 kernel releases to find this commit. Then I could apply the sysctl
workaround to a FreeBSD CURRENT kernel and have suspend/resume working again.

Why was this change made? Is there some performance reason why we don't want to
be polling atkbd so much? I'm not sure why this would affect the entire PCI
bus, but since it breaks suspend resume on certain machines it would be nice to
get a fix into base so things work out of the box again without having to add
the sysctl workaround.
