Bug Description

SRU Request:

[Impact]
A commit that was backported to the latest 4.4 kernel, broke compatibility with the NVIDIA drivers in Xenial and in Trusty.

[Test Case]
1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new 4.4 kernel image and headers, and one of the NVIDIA drivers (304, 340, 384)

2) Check that the kernel module can be built against the new kernel.

3) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop.

[Regression Potential]
Low.

Hey there,

I created a patch which updates os-mlock.c to adjust for the changes made on the kernel-side in get_user_pages() (include/linux/mm.h). However, I do not have a deep understanding of why the first 2 parameters of get_user_pages() were removed which is why this solution needs to be tested thoroughly. The patch was done for nvidia-driver v340.96 as this is the version I use on my system. However, the patch might also be applicable for newer releases of the nvidia driver. After applying the patch an additional "sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms" was enough to get the kernel module to work. The patch must me applied inside /usr/src/nvidia-legacy-340xx-340.96 (I am on debian - the actual path on ubuntu could be different). I hope I could help.

Cheers, chris

I'm using Lubuntu 16.04 x86-64 with kernel 4.7.1 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and the 304-series Nvidia driver.

I solved this problem without needing to manually apply patches, by downloading and installing the current nvidia-304 package for 16.10:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/304.131-0ubuntu5/+build/10627168/+files/nvidia-304_304.131-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb

Same success with the 340-series driver from

Can someone at Canonical just update the nvidia-304 & nvidia-340 etc. packages for Xenial to the ones for Yakkety (16.10)? They seem to work fine.

Some more details to my previous comment #9...

While installing the 16.10/Yakkety nvidia-340_340.96-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb did get the Nvidia driver working, as shown by the Nvidia logo before the desktop appears, there must have been something slightly amiss about the installation.

On trying to run certain programs (e.g. Steam), I got an error message mentioning libGL and swrast. Maybe some symbolic link wasn't made correctly for 16.04 when installing the 16.10 package??? glxgears did seem to work OK however.

So that solution isn't perfect, but if someone more knowledgeable than me wants to give it a try, the problem could probably be easily fixed.

Thanks.

After I uninstalled the 16.04 nvidia-340 package, rebooted (so using Nouveau), then installed the nvidia-340_340.96-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb package, Steam and other programs seem to be working fine now.

I get directed to this issue when I try to install nvidia-driver-390 in a fresh install.

The kernel module compile fails with things like this:

```Building for 4.18.0-16-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Building initial module for 4.18.0-16-generic
ERROR (dkms apport): There was a segmentation fault when trying to build the module
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.18.0-16-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.116/build/make.log for more information.```

The make log contains some dangerous sounding compiler panics:

@Stefan: the first error looks like a bug in the compiler. As for the second error, the 367.35 driver is not in the Ubuntu archive, therefore we have no control over it.

@Alberto, you're right. After talking to him and getting more info I understand he's using an old closed source driver he needs to update.
