Bug report: 455.23.04 - Kernel Panic due to NULL pointer dereference

[asm86]

This is still not fixed in 460.39, I experienced this crash within minutes of watching hardware accelerated video in Kodi, having just installed the latest driver earlier today.

[12161.404849] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

---

Will have to go back now to kernel 5.4 and 440 series yet again as it seems the only stable driver. Is this ever going to get fixed?

New bug report attached. Hopefully it can help this time.

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (66.2 KB)

[harrisl]

I have been running the new driver with 5.10.11 for 3 hours without a crash. I never survived more that a hour with any driver after 4.50.80. The new drivers may have fixed this issue for me.

[sahasra19]

Just had it happen again on 5.10.10 (arch-linux) with driver 460.39

[VaporD]

For some reason, I haven’t had this happen in months. I did add the following to my ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf to try to solve a different issue. I don’t know if maybe it also helped with this issue or if it was something else but I thought I would throw it out there since nothing else is working and maybe someone would like to try:

--use-cmd-decoder=validating --use-gl=desktop

[r4tt1esnake]

This has been an issue for almost 5 months at this point. Can we potentially get a fix?

[abelits]

Is 460.39 supposed to include this fix?

[exsec_honeymooning]

Still not fixed on 460.39 and kernel 5.10.11. I’m running Arch Linux and was watching a video in VLC.

Jan 29 12:58:04 GamingPC kernel: Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

Come on Nvidia this has been happening for months!

[generalpoxter]

I can confirm that the bug still persists on Arch Linux with kernel 5.10.11 and nvidia 460.39.
crash.txt (11.9 KB)

Edit: What’s the safest way of restarting the computer after one of these crashes? This is the second time I have experienced this while running chromium, and so far the only method that works for me is pressing the power button. These crashes also seem to coincide with when I started running chromium without the “–use-gl=desktop” flag because it was causing trouble with playback speeds on YouTube.

Edit: What’s the safest way of restarting the computer after one of these crashes?

ssh to it from another computer, and reboot from there.

[sahasra19]

ssh to it from another computer, and reboot from there.

doesn’t even allow me to do that :(

i mean, i can ssh into the pc and run shutdown, but it just kills the ssh session and doesn’t restart the pc

tried: sudo shutdown -r now and sudo shutdown now

[anon55558820]

Try using the SysRQ Key to give instructions to the kernel directly. That works for me.

More info: Magic SysRq key - Wikipedia

[amrits]

Fix is supposed to be integrated in upcoming 460 driver release.
Will notify here once again once it will be posted publicly.

[sparbtw]

It’s very sad to know that NVIDIA almost has no interest in solving this problem…
By the way… I can confirm that today, 02/02/21 with kernel 5.10.11-arch1-1, i encountered the same problem (minimum twice a day)
(Yes, it’s the same journalctl log of the others… BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference etc etc)…

Y’all know what Torvalds have said, which i’d like to say now. There is no need to specify.

Well… no interest in reading?

[sparbtw]

I said almost, does a bug take 5 months to be fixed?
In my home this means no interest.

[fedya1659]

I agree, they would fixed it in a week if they wanted, so… torvalds quote

[r4tt1esnake]

Can we get a status update…?

[aplattner]

We still haven’t been able to reproduce the problem even with targeted testing, but have made another change that should help that will be in the next release.

Without an in-house reproduction of the problem it’s impossible to verify that it’s actually fixed, so it’s taking longer than usual for a fix to be released. I realize this situation is frustrating for everyone and apologize for the inconvenience.

[ddimi]

I install the driver with “–no-unified-memory” and the problem disapear.
Arch Linux,
Kernel 5.10.15 , nvidia 460.39

[al.piotrowicz]

@ddimi, What’s the most convenient way to archieve it in Arch? With or without dkms?
