It was happily filling my hard drive at the rate of 16 dumps per minute, each one about 16MiB, for about two days until I noticed the issue, traced it and closed gkrellm. In the meantime it continued to operate seemingly normally and gave no indication that it's on it's way to cause a small disaster. Here's an example backtrace: #0 0x00007f1e1bde2c50 in _nv019tls () from /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09 #1 0x00007f1e225546e6 in __libc_fork () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c:170 #2 0x00007f1e23ce7968 in fork_exec_with_pipes (intermediate_child=1, working_directory=0x0, argv=0x1ddbef0, envp=0x0, close_descriptors=1, search_path=1, stdout_to_null=0, stderr_to_null=0, child_inherits_stdin=0, file_and_argv_zero=0, child_setup=0, user_data=0x0, child_pid=0x0, standard_input=0x0, standard_output=0x0, standard_error=0x0, error=0x0) at gspawn.c:1227 #3 0x00007f1e23ce8737 in g_spawn_async_with_pipes (working_directory=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>, flags=<optimized out>, child_setup=<optimized out>, user_data=<optimized out>, child_pid=0x0, standard_input=0x0, standard_output=0x0, standard_error=0x0, error=0x0) at gspawn.c:648 #4 0x00007f1e23ce883c in g_spawn_async (working_directory=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>, flags=<optimized out>, child_setup=<optimized out>, user_data=<optimized out>, child_pid=0x0, error=0x0) at gspawn.c:137 #5 0x00007f1e23ce8992 in g_spawn_command_line_async (command_line=<optimized out>, error=0x0) at gspawn.c:763 #6 0x0000000000417f6a in gkrellm_abort (sig=<optimized out>) at main.c:2058 #7 <signal handler called> #8 0x00007f1e1bde2c50 in _nv019tls () from /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09 #9 0x00007f1e225546e6 in __libc_fork () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c:170 #10 0x00007f1e23ce7968 in fork_exec_with_pipes (intermediate_child=0, working_directory=0x0, argv=0x7f1e169ceae0, envp=0x0, close_descriptors=1, search_path=1, stdout_to_null=0, stderr_to_null=1, child_inherits_stdin=0, file_and_argv_zero=0, child_setup=0, user_data=0x0, child_pid=0x7f1e169ce9f4, standard_input=0x0, standard_output=0x7f1e169ce9fc, standard_error=0x0, error=0x7f1e169ceb70) at gspawn.c:1227 #11 0x00007f1e23ce81d4 in g_spawn_sync (working_directory=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>, flags=<optimized out>, child_setup=<optimized out>, user_data=<optimized out>, standard_output=0x7f1e169ceb68, standard_error=0x0, exit_status=0x0, error=0x7f1e169ceb70) at gspawn.c:284 #12 0x0000000000471a3c in gkrellm_sys_sensors_get_temperature (sensor_path=0x1ba34c0 "GPUCoreTemp", id=<optimized out>, iodev=0, interface=<optimized out>, temp=0x1bb6f50) at sysdeps/linux.c:3107 #13 0x00000000004493f3 in read_sensors_thread (data=<optimized out>) at sensors.c:211 #14 0x00007f1e23cc94c6 in g_thread_create_proxy (data=0x1d20c90) at gthread.c:1962 #15 0x00007f1e1d3d925a in ??

Holy shit. Just after posting this I had a video encoder called Handbrake crash just before finishing a 20 hour encode. The trace also ended in libnvidia-tls.so. What the hell.
I noticed it looks similar to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375615 , but as far as I can see this bug is supposed to be fixed in nvidia-drivers-285.05.09
Seems happen me too dmesg show me some hints of died apps: evolution[8297]: segfault at 30 ip 00007fee242b6a08 sp 00007fedddfeaca0 error 4 in libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09[7fee242b6000+3000] evolution[13766] general protection ip:7f099c6efa08 sp:7f095cff8ca0 error:0 in libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09[7f099c6ef000+3000] device lo entered promiscuous mode evolution[14202] general protection ip:7f324f9d3a08 sp:7f320aff5ca0 error:0 in libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09[7f324f9d3000+3000] device lo left promiscuous mode device lo entered promiscuous mode evolution[6699] general protection ip:7fbf55ee9a08 sp:7fbf1477eca0 error:0 in libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09[7fbf55ee9000+3000] device lo left promiscuous mode device lo entered promiscuous mode device lo left promiscuous mode evolution[22485] general protection ip:7f44fbfefa08 sp:7f44d7b38ca0 error:0 in libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09[7f44fbfef000+3000]
This just happened again with nvidia-drivers-290.10. http://pastebin.com/ZKZGyUDX
With nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 gkrellm hangs up immediately after starting, probably when probing for GPU temp.
I have the same issue with nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 - gkrellm hangs. Removing GPU temp sensor fixes the problem. (I didn't have any issues with earlier versions of nvidia-drivers).
With =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-290.10 gkrellm started fine for me, as soon as I upgraded to =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 gkrellm hangs on start like in comment 5 and comment 6. Running gdb gkrellm there is no hang and GPU temp sensor does display...
(In reply to comment #6) > I have the same issue with nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 - gkrellm hangs. > Removing GPU temp sensor fixes the problem. (I didn't have any issues with > earlier versions of nvidia-drivers). I can confirm all of this on my machine after updating Nvidia-drivers.
Is anyone experiencing this with the 295.x drivers or newer?
If you still are experiencing this, the issue is occurring in the closed part of the driver. Please use nvidia-bug-report.sh and e-mail the output along with a description of the issue to linux-bugs@nvidia.com
