Description
NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
555.52.04
Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.
- I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.

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
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.
