Crash still happening with the patched drivers at 455.23.04: Page allocation failure in kernel module at random points - #63 by michaelmberlinger
Can confirm it happening at least 2 more times with the patched drivers. I just hard crashed with these drivers and could not ssh or go into a TTY.
I have recently fully updated to nvidia-dkms 455.45.01-1 on Arch Linux 5.9.12-zen1-1-zen in good faith as of 2020/12/08 it’s been 75 days since the first official report on 2020/08/24 @ 455.23.04: Page allocation failure in kernel module at random points.
This issue is definitely still not fixed and still affecting people. The freezes today are not fully hard and I could go out to a TTY. In fact while typing this message I’ve had it freeze another 2 times both recoverable from a TTY.
I have included 3 bug reports:
0: right after my display froze and I went to TTY2 to run “sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh”

1: while typing up v1 (good thing the website saves posts) of this post I had the screen freeze again. I went to TTY2 to capture this. Then “systemctl restart sddm”

2: Freeze again while typing this current post, I didn’t have to restart sddm but it just worked right after switching back to TTY7 from TTY2.

For some reason once it does happen it likes to keep happening. I’ve just experience another 2 soft freezes on top of the 3 previous reports (recover from TTY2 with no sddm restart) while finishing up this post’s formatting.

Maybe do something with the record $3B gross this quarter (enough to hire 15000*4 devs at 200k per year) and actually fix some stuff?
And to top off my post I’ve had 2 other soft freezes while typing out my napkin maths.
