NVIDIA – New Drivers, Still Broken with 4.10 – And a Patch for 378.13..
NVIDIA have released new drivers 375.39 (‘long term’) and 378.13 (‘short term’) and details are here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/114708/en-us and http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/115031/en-us.
Both still fail to compile with Kernel 4.10 (tested with 4.10-rc8) and I tried the previous 378.09 patch against 379.13, but it failed to apply cleanly, as more code has changed..

The code changes appear to be relatively trivial, and in one case include an added ‘comment’, and I am trying to apply the necessary changes manually, and will then test the results..
Soon after I posted the original article, Tomas Pruzina posted an updated patch, for 378.13, and details are here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/994087/linux/387-13-patch-for-4-10-0-rc8-linus-master-/
I have applied this to 378.13 on the test system, and it now compiles OK, on Kernel 4.10-rc8.

Mostly trimmed down version of previous patch, nvidia fixed most things cleanly, only fencing patches were left to be applied (dma_fence_* renames).
Hi
I run Fedora 25 with kernel 4.10
Could you explain how to apply the patch for nvidia 378.13 ?
Thanks.
