Title: NVIDIA user space packages not held when drivers are pinned Status in linux-gcp package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-gcp source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in linux-gcp source package in Noble: In Progress Bug description: SRU Justification: [Impact] Google is experiencing an issue with kernel and NVIDIA driver updates where they are updated into a state in which either the kernel/module or the kernel/user versions aren't lining up. This causes a hard failure in some of the NVIDIA tools, for example a mismatch produced the following kernel output: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 570.158.01, but NVRM: this kernel module has the version 570.133.20. Please NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver NVRM: components have the same version. [Fix] As a stop-gap, Google has begun to place holds on certain packages, but this opens them up to other undesirable states. They are requesting that we do something in our packaging to prevent the mismatch. We are investigating updating the package control file in an attempt to prevent the user space packages from going out of sync with the nvidia-kernel-common-570-server driver package. [Test Plan] An internal Salesforce case documents the sequence of events that can lead to the version mismatch case. We will follow those steps to verify any proposed solution. [Where problems could occur] There is concern that adjusting the control file this way could lead to a situation where the system is rendered unable to add or remove packages.
