Blender crashes hard with new nvidia drivers #49113

New Issue

System Information
GENTOO Linux (daily updated) Linux kernel 4.7.1 / 4.7.0 (tested both)
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-370.23

Blender Version
Broken: blender-2.77-2016-08-19-4d8ac1e-linux-glibc219-x86_64.tar.bz
also blender-2.77-2016-08-17-294eac2-linux-glibc219-x86_64.tar.bz2
Worked: with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-367.35-r1

Short description of error
As soon F12 is hit, Blender crashes. "Works" with any scene.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
Crash can bi triggered by any scene.
Install Kernel 4.7.0/4.7.1
Install above mentioned nvidia-drivers (previous version will NOT compile with that kernel!)
Start blender.
Render.
KABOOM!

It's crashing in the NVidia driver when querying the available OpenCL devices.

Does running clinfo in the terminal crash as well? If not, can you attach its output?

clinfo is a command line utility similar to glxinfo. It's available as a package in most Linux distributions, but it seems not in Gentoo.

Basically what I would like you to test is if your OpenCL installation is somehow broken and crashing everywhere, or if there's a Blender specific issue. You could try running LuxMark instead of clinfo.

You could also try uninstalling everything OpenCL and NVidia related and reinstalling, in case that somehow fixes things.

I can confirm this. Kubuntu 16.04 - GTX 960 - nvidia 370.23 (beta driver acording nvidia home site). Blender from buildbot: d41dfe3

To reproduce:
Open Blender > choose 'Cycles Render' >> Blender crash

from terminal.txt

By the way, luxmark 3.1 is working well

I can confirm the crash with this 370.23 driver version on Linux.

It seems to be crashing when using clew, while working fine when linking directly against the OpenCL library.

I can confirm the crash with this 370.23 driver version on Linux. It seems to be crashing when using clew, while working fine when linking directly against the OpenCL library.

Actually, the problem is not with clew, but with initializing both CUDA and OpenCL. The order doesn't matter, it either crashes in clGetPlatformIDs() or cuInit().

I'll report a bug with repro to NVidia, hopefully they can solve it for the final driver version. Makefile test_cl_cuda.c. Their bug tracker is down until sunday though.

Hi Brecht, hi YAFU,

can I do anything helpful more here for this case or do we have simply to waot for NVidia to fix
the problem?

Hi Brecht, hi YAFU, can I do anything helpful more here for this case or do we have simply to waot for NVidia to fix the problem?

No, we just wait for NVidia now.

The NVidia bug I reported changed status from "Open - pending review" to "Open - Fix being tested", so there's progress.

Sorry I didn't look hard enough for a similar report...

Ok, so it is in Nvidia's hands now. Thanks for the info @brecht

Closing as this is not a Blender bug, meaning we can't do anything about it anyway. NVidia is informaed about the problem anyway.

Thanks for the report and investigation anyway!

From NVidia:

It has been fixed now in our development driver builds, and the fix would be available for you in the future driver release.

So, now we just wait for NVidia to release a new driver version.

Hi all. Arch Linux just updated to Nvidia driver 370.28 and it doesn't cause Blender/Cycles to crash anymore.

Yesterday GENTOO-Linux updated to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-370.28 also.
Blender works fine now.
A big THANK YOU to the GENTOO-developers to include the new dirver
quickly.
