Description
NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
535.216.03
Operating System and Version
debian trixie
Kernel Release
6.12.22
Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.
- I am running on a stable kernel release.
Build Command
I don't build it directly, it is built by apt when the kernel is updated.
Terminal output/Build Log
Sorry, I don't have the terminal output anymore.
It tries to call follow_pfn(), which apparently isn't declared.
It's pretty much issue #642.
I didn't do anything special, just ran apt upgrade on a debian trixie.
Temporary workaround is to use an older kernel (6.5).
More Info
I'm happy to provide more information once I can access to the system again (tomorrow).

Research direction
Start by reading issue #642 and comparing it with this report's follow_pfn() failure on Linux 6.12.22 and Debian trixie. Reproduce the apt-triggered build if possible and capture the missing terminal output; done means the module builds successfully on the affected kernel without requiring an older kernel.
