Describe the bug

So, i'm using Arch on my ASUS laptop. And sometimes when i sleep or hibernate, after resuming the NVIDIA driver doesn't work anymore. When i check dmesg i see this [ 4331.789906] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: can't suspend (nv_pmops_runtime_suspend [nvidia] returned -5). After a reboot everything is okay. Sometimes this error prevents the kernel from suspend and putting me in a broken state. I noticed this issue sometimes show up, sometimes everything works fine.

To Reproduce
  • Install latest Arch Linux with LTS kernel.
  • Install nvidia-open-lts package
  • Configure Hibernation
  • Try to sleep for some time (there is a chance it won't go to suspend state) (dmesg will show nvidia error)
  • Check if driver works after resume from hibernation (nvidia-smi doesnt return unknown error)

More Info

Exact laptop: ASUS ROG Strix G15 (G15IC)
I'm using Wayland. I don't know if something would change on Xorg. NVIDIA is still a discrete GPU. Doesn't render image.
This problem also occurs on proprietary driver. But also occurs on the Open driver.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and the dmesg message showing nv_pmops_runtime_suspend returning -5. Reproduce sleep and hibernation on the listed Arch Linux kernel with nvidia-open-lts, then compare behavior after resume. Done means suspend or hibernation completes reliably and nvidia-smi works after resume.
