Subject: 4.14.9 broke nvidia 384.98 kernel module

Hi Greg,

I know, everybody hates NVidia and their proprietary stuff around here.

Anyway, I wanted to let you and followers of 4.14 know, that changes between
4.14.8 and 4.14.9 broke both current nvidia kernel drivers. See:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028016/linux/patch-for-compiling-v384-98-modules-with-linux-v4-14-9-/

Reading though the changelog of 4.14.9, I would call this release courageous
;-)

Cheers,
Pete

Should be fixed in 4.14.10-rc1, right?

thanks,

Hmm, building with 4.14.10 without the patch results in:

[ 19s] + make -f Makefile nv-linux.o SYSSRC=/lib/modules/4.14.10-3-
default/source SYSOUT=/usr/src/linux-obj/x86_64/default
[...]
[ 88s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/nvidia-
gfxG04-384.98/obj/default/384.98/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c:8771:41: error:
implicit declaration of function 'task_stack_page' [-Werror=implicit-function-
declaration]

With the patch applied (attached for reference), the build succeeds..

Cheers,
Pete

That's not an issue I can do anything about, that's an nvidia driver
problem :)
