Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 1, 2018 by RGJanuary 1, 2018

Just tried the ‘stable-review’ patch for the ‘stable’ Kernel – 4.14.11-rc1, and the same NVIDIA problem is there, and it seems the kernel devs won’t do anything: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1712.3/02608.html So – it seems the patch is now a permanent requirement for all subsequent 4.14 releases..  (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2168 ).. And… It seems the unwritten rule of ‘don’t break stuff … Continue reading →

Kernel – 4.14.9 NVIDIA Saga – Simple Patch, or Wait for 4.14.10..?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 27, 2017 by RGDecember 27, 2017

More on the Kernel 4.14.9 NVIDIA breakage..     Basically, code that should have only gone into 4.15-rc found its way into 4.14.9 – which is why the existing 4.15 NVIDIA patch fixed it..     Thanks to dinosaur_ on the NVIDIA forum, there is a simpler patch available:  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028016/linux/patch-for-compiling-v384-98-modules-with-linux-v4-14-9-/ There is also a 4.14.10-rc1 patch which is supposed to revert … Continue reading →

KERNEL – 4.14.9 Breaks NVIDIA – and a Fix..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 27, 2017 by RGDecember 27, 2017

Just updated to Kernel 4.14.9, and normally this should not be anything to cause concern, but this time there has been a significant code change made, that has broken NVIDIA (384.98): ………………… /home/rgadsdon/kernel/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98/kernel/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c: In function ‘block_cpu_fault_locked’: /usr/src/linux-4.14.9/arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h:826:39: error: implicit declaration of function ‘task_stack_page’; did you mean ‘task_stack_vm_area’?
