eglSwapBuffers failed with 0x300d; app windows do not render

NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version

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.
• Author Note: I did not have time to swap my setup to the proprietary driver package to test; if someone could try to replicate with the proprietary package, that would be great.

Describe the bug

Since updating to 570.86.16, a lot of apps are reporting eglSwapBuffers EGL_BAD_SURFACE errors.

This can be easily replicated with krunner. Triggering it once works, but any subsequent launches causes the error and prevents the window from being displayed.

KDE and QT were notified, the consensus seems to be a driver bug.

• KDE report
• QT report

The issue happened with 565.x as well, but it was intermittent. Now it can be reproduced every single time (thus pointing towards a driver issue).

To Reproduce

• Open Krunner window
• Close Krunner window
• Try to open Krunner window, it will fail to display

The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the failure by opening and closing the Krunner window, then inspect the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and the linked KDE and Qt reports; done means the repeated launch no longer produces EGL_BAD_SURFACE or a missing window.
