Hardware: GPU
NVIDIA open kernel module 595.71.05
Describe the bug
On resume from S3 suspend, a nvidia-modeset kthread soft-locks one CPU indefinitely inside the DIFR prefetch path (nvDIFRPrefetchSurfaces / DifrPrefetchEventDeferredWork); the display never recovers and the machine must be hard-powered-off.
Reproduces across multiple suspend cycles. Full trace and nvidia-bug-report.log attached.
To Reproduce
Suspend the machine and resume.

Research direction
Start by reproducing an S3 suspend/resume cycle on the listed Blackwell mobile GPU and inspect the attached trace and nvidia-bug-report.log.gz. Trace the nvidia-modeset kthread through nvDIFRPrefetchSurfaces and DifrPrefetchEventDeferredWork in the open kernel module sources. Done means resume completes without a CPU soft lockup and the display recovers across repeated cycles.
