A new driver is available in the beta branch here: https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/167671/ Reproducible: Always

I guess finally here's the official solution for bug #755497, even if it says "reduce" rather than "fix". Hopefully this new beta doesn't bring as many new issues as last beta.
Created attachment 678544 [details, diff] nvidia-drivers-455.45.01-to-460.27.04.patch Gave 460 a try with kernel 5.10.1, built and everything seems to work so far (but that's just my setup, and doesn't say much). Needed minor apparent ebuild changes, attaching patch for reference (if want to add despite beta anyway). I had some strange window locking issues with 455.45.01 that made me go back to 450.80.02, but then 450.80.02 doesn't build with kernel 5.10.1 so trying this ahead of time.
Thank you for the patch. A new driver in the vulkan beta branch is also available as of today (455.46.04): https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver I feel like there should be more than one package (or different use flags) for the nvidia, nvidia beta & nvidia vulkan beta drivers

460.27.04 locked up after an hour with kernel-5.10.1-r1 same as the 455 series. I am running 4 monitors and use a VM from shadowtech which uses the GPU. No issues with 450.80.* Error was the same kernel null pointer error.
(In reply to Harris Landgarten from comment #5) > Error was the same kernel null pointer error. For reference this one is bug #747319 (as you already know, posting for others), and doesn't seem related to page allocation failures.
