Hello,
Running a fresh installation of Arch Linux – tested kernel version 5.12.13 and 5.10.46 – I’m getting a general protection fault upon closing any Chrome-based rendering application. This includes the browsers Chromium and Opera, and the text editor Atom. This happens running KDE and GNOME under Xorg.
The specific slub_debug poision option that reliably triggers the issue every time on this specific system, is slub_debug=P,kmalloc-1k.
When the crash happens, the systems usually hangs immediately afterwards, and in the rare cases where I’ve been able to remotely ssh into the system, running the bug report-tool simply hangs and produces nothing, even with --safe-mode enabled. This means that I’ve unfortunately not been able to properly run the nvidia-bug-report.sh tool, nor attach any such logs it should’ve produced.
The closest I’ve come to producing any sort of log, is by grabbing the output of dmesg remotely. Though, I feel like there’s something wrong with the format of the log, I have reproduced the output in-line at the end of this thread.
The issue is present in any recent driver branch other than the 460 series, including all versions of 465 (versions tested 465.19.01 to 465.31), and the latest 470 branch (latest tested driver as of writing, 470.42.01).
