525.89.02 with RTX3060 reliably crashes when exiting SteamVR

Whenever I exit steamVR I am getting a kernel crash. Sometimes when it locks up I am able to ssh into my system though when I ran nvidia-bug-report.sh the script hung. I will attempt to try again with --safe-mode the next time it happens. In any event, I did capture the dmesg output showing the kernel crash in the Nvidia driver.
Note that I have a HTC Vive connected to one of the HDMI ports. The other HDMI port is connected to a 1920x1200 monitor and the two DisplayPort ports are connected to 4K monitors.
I repeatedly see this in dmesg:

When I ran top I saw that one of the Nvidia IRQs was consuming 100% of one of the cores.
This problem is very repeatable and happens almost every time I exit SteamVR and sometimes while it is running. It doesn’t seem to matter what VR application I use, whether it’s SteamVR or Neos.
This is on OpenSUSE 15.4. I also did not see this problem with the previous driver release. I can’t tell if it’s the driver or a Steam update, but the kernel driver should not be crashing.

I ran nvidia-bug-report.sh --safe-mode but it still hung and did not provide any useful information. I’ve had several crashes in just the past few hours, forcing me to hit the reset button.

nvidia-smi -r did not work and just hung. The nvidia-crash-report.sh --safe-mode command also hangs and the log contains useless information.
IRQ 338 is pegged at 100% CPU in the Nvidia driver.

This is extremely annoying. I’ve crashed around 8 time tonight with this bug. The previous driver was stable.

It looks if I log out instead of exiting SteamVR my computer does not crash. Also note I am running KDE and X11, not Wayland. KDE Frameworks version 5.104 and QT 5.15.8

In one of the other crashes I see multiple stack traces:

I do have some experience debugging the Linux kernel if there is any way I can gather more information you may require.
The steps to reproduce are:

  1. Start Steam
  2. Start SteamVR
  3. Exit SteamVR by clicking either VR or the close button on the VR status monitor
    The desktop will now be frozen. SSH might work into the system in which case the above stack traces are visible. IRQ 338 is pegged at 100% on one of the CPU cores.
    I have an old HTC Vive connected to HDMI-1.

Please create a nvidia-bug-report.log after running into the issue and rebooting.

Attached.
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (863.6 KB)
Note that if I run this after the hang nvidia-bug-report.sh will hang even with --safe-mode enabled and the generated log is very short with little information. I can run it again while steamVR is running. It’s only after I shut down steamVR that the system crashes.
I can also run nvidia-smi daemon if that will help. I can’t run steamVR for a while because I am doing backups which require my system to remain stable.

The logs are sufficient, though they’re not exposing any additional errors besides the crash itself.
Did you already try to remove “nomodeset” and instead set nvidia-drm.modeset=1

I will try that. Currently I have nomodeset on the kernel command line. I changed it so it should pick it up after the next reboot.

I did capture the entire dmesg output and have attached it here with one of the crashes. This is the same as the second set of stack traces.
nvidia.txt (182.6 KB)

There was no change after changing nomodeset to nvidia-drm.modeset=1.

Is there any update to this? nvidia-drm.modeset=1 made no difference.

Changing the command line made no difference. I didn’t expect that it would. I still am seeing a lot of kernel crashes in the driver. It’s almost guaranteed to happen if I exit steamvr by clicking the close button on the VR monitor. If I log out it does not crash.

Same issue here, this has persisted on and off for a while, but as of now is happening every time SteamVR exits.
nvidia-drm.modeset=1 was always set
also for kicks tried to disable selinux, that didn’t help either
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (373.7 KB)

I found that If I log out that usually things shut down normally but if I click on the SteamVR monitor and exit I get the kernel friver crash.

I’m mostly using X-Plane 12, this is something that has been around from early 2021 intermittently.
But as of the 530.41.03 drivers, just opening SteamVR and closing it again is enough to explode the entire desktop reliably.
SteamVR issue is here:

(that’s you isn’t it…)

Can confirm from a single test logging out does seem to allow it to close, although it does leave some defunct vrserver processes running that need killing after you log back in.
