Resume from suspend fails: Xid 119 (GSP RPC timeout) -> oops in nvEvoDisableVblankSemControl -> Xid 154, hard reset required

[m5r]

Environment

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (AD103, PCI 01:00.0)
• Driver: 610.43.03, open kernel modules (Arch Linux package nvidia-open-lts 1:610.43.03-8)
• Kernel: 6.18.40-2-lts
• Display: X11, i3wm, one 5K monitor
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO, BIOS 3107 (2025-11-28)
• Suspend configuration: NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 and NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp are set. The services nvidia-suspend.service, nvidia-resume.service, and nvidia-hibernate.service are enabled.
• Other out-of-tree module: v4l2loopback_dc

Summary

The system did not resume from suspend (S3, "deep"). The GSP did not answer RPC calls. The kernel log shows this sequence:

1. systemd-sleep received three Xid 119 errors (GSP RPC timeout).
2. The kernel logged two WARNINGs in the driver power path: nv_restore_user_channels (nv.c:4511) and nv_set_system_power_state (nv.c:4804).
3. The kernel crashed with a null-pointer oops in nvEvoDisableVblankSemControl. The call path was nvResumeDevEvo → nvRevokeDevice → FreeDeviceReference.
4. The driver reported Xid 154 and set the recovery action to PF FLR.

The monitor showed "no signal" after this. The system stayed reachable over the network. A clean shutdown was not possible: systemd-suspend.service died with SIGKILL, and the user session did not stop. I had to force a power-off.

Timeline

• 01:05:52 — PM: suspend entry (deep)
• 11:01:04 — resume starts; first Xid 119 (GSP_RM_CONTROL timeout)
• 11:01:07 — WARNING in nv_restore_user_channels, then WARNING in nv_set_system_power_state
• 11:01:52 and 11:02:40 — two more Xid 119 (GSP_RM_ALLOC, GSP_RM_CONTROL)
• 11:02:43 — oops in nvEvoDisableVblankSemControl+0x34 [nvidia_modeset], then Xid 154 (PF FLR)

Frequency

This is the first occurrence. My journals go back to 2026-07-07. They show five good suspend/resume cycles on the same driver and kernel between 2026-07-28 and 2026-08-01, with zero Xid errors.

I sent the full nvidia-bug-report.gz to linux-bugs@nvidia.com with a link to this issue. I can post the full kernel log of the failure window here on request.

Possibly related: #1125. That report shows a GSP timeout on resume with the open modules. Its reporter states that the proprietary driver of the same version does not show the problem.
