Describe the bug

Since the 6.12.0rc1 Release the kernel drm-helper is crashing with the 560.35.03 drivers.

Following patches were pulled in, to make the driver compatible with 6.12, these were extracted out of the 550.120 release: drm_fbdev fixup for 6.11+: https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-patches/blob/master/6.12/misc/nvidia/0004-6.11-Add-fix-for-fbdev.patch drm_outpull_pill for 6.12: https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-patches/blob/master/6.12/misc/nvidia/0005-6.12-drm_outpull_pill-changed-check.patch

Additional patch to make the module compilation happy (Introduced in commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/32f51ead3d7771cdec29f75e08d50a76d2c6253d ):

with these patches the DKMS Compilation is successful and the driver works fine with the 6.11.x kernel.

Booting into 6.12.0rc1 results into that the driver crashes, at drm_open_helper and there is graphical interface available anymore. The tty is working fine. Following is visible in the dmesg log:

What happens if you revert that kernel change made by upstream. Made the drivers compile without additional patches: What happens if you revert that change in kernel. That is what I did before: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/core/linux612/-/blob/ec1f53f77fd3f92f7cd4eeed444a341d8ded3291/revert-nvidia-446d0f48.patch

Thanks! Tracked internally as NV bug 4888621.

[joanbm]

This may be related to commit 641bb4394f40 ("fs: move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags"). At least for nvidia-470xx it's fixed by adding the .fop_flags = FOP_UNSIGNED_OFFSET line from this patch. Though for me the kernel didn't full crash, just fail to detect the adapters correctly.

@joanbm It seems this patch does work and I got properly on 6.12 into the kernel. There was one more patch required to have a succesful dkms compilation, due upstream changes:
