Thanks to HERB<\/em><\/strong>. there is a fix for this, at http:\/\/mom.hlmjr.com\/2018\/06\/11\/nvidia-drivers-390-67-vs-kernel-4-17\/<\/a><\/p>\n
This patch is for 390.67 specifically, and would need modifying for other versions..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have tested the patch, and it applies cleanly, and 390.67 compiles OK with 4.18-rc1..<\/p>\n
