Hi Aurelien,

... buggy software (#807244), which is only exposed by running on
hardware with working TSX-NI.
That could also explain the fact that the bug was introduced in 352+.

Jelle, I didn't dig through the nvidia forums, but if this info isn't
mentioned there already, maybe you could post it:

According to the backtrace the problem is typical of a call to
mutex_unlock() on a mutex which hasn't been locked with mutex_lock()
before.
(or was already unlocked.)
I'm not a member of any of any Nvidia forum. I'm more of an advanced
Debian user, with a technical background as a tester. All the searches that I just did regarding mutex_unlock() and the driver point back to this post.

You really are doing the best anaylysis I had found. Unfortunately it's also
the only one I can find.

Thanks for already doing this investigation.

best regards,
Jelle
