Use-after-free on GTX 1650 dGPU with 545.29.06 on Fedora 39 + Wayland

Here with the same output from dmesg. Fedora 40 with 555.58.02 on GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.

This bug is quite dangerous in Blender as there is a small chance of any mouse movement from the viewport attempting to render the scene to then cause the system to freeze (if Blender is installed as package) or the application to freeze (if Blender is installed as a Flatpak). I have been able to reproduce this consistently in Blender 4.2.0. I set a box with lights with the render engine set to Cycles with noise threshold set to 0.99 and viewport pixel size set to 8x. This setup maximizes the chance of it being triggered. Simply move the camera for around a minute.

Using Wayland seems to be important as I have not been able to reproduce the issue on X11. Can anyone verify this?

A temporary fix is to downgrade from 555 to 470 if you cannot upgrade above 555 yet. It seems to not happen on 470.

If one has been already made, are there any patches for this issue on 555 that anyone can verify works?
