Hi all,
I posted this in a wrong place…so now I’m posting here.
I tried to compile nvidia driver 396.24 on Fedora 28 (gcc-8.1.1) for kernel 4.18.0-rc1 available on www.kernel.org, but in vain. It looks like nvidia driver uses __put_devmap_namaged_page and it causes a problem.
The associated part of nvidia-installer.log is as follows. Please check it.
Thanks in advance!
