Describe the bug

Sometimes when I attempt to suspend-to-ram, the machine will fail to suspend and instead get stuck on a black screen. I have to hard reset the machine in order to get it back. In the the system logs, there is a crash call trace for the Nvidia driver:
suspend_hang.txt

To Reproduce

It happens rarely and randomly. I don't know exactly what causes it. Most of the time it can suspend fine, but sometimes it will crash

Bug Incidence

Sometimes

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz

I've uploaded the generated bug report, but I am not sure if it includes the crash since I had to reboot before I could run the nvidia-bug-report.sh command. Doing a quick search in the log indicates that the crash trace is not in it. That is why I uploaded a separate suspend_hang.txt which does include the crash logs from the previous boot.

Research direction

Start by reading suspend_hang.txt for the crash call trace, then inspect nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and the issue discussion for related suspend failures. Reproduce suspend-to-RAM on the stated Arch Linux, kernel, GPU, and driver versions; done means the intermittent crash is isolated and suspend completes reliably after the fix.
