Description:


Although nvidia530 is the Latest New Feature Branch Version, nvidia 525 have a important fix:

" Resolved an issue when invoking nvidia_p2p_put_pages by providing a new APIs nvidia_p2p_get/put_pages_persistent for persistent memory."
https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/tesla-release-notes-525-105-17/index.html

It leads to cross device gpu to fail (CUDA P2P, torch, tensorflow...) , while nvidia530 did not reviced it yet.

seems nvidia530 not taken seriously! and 525 is the latest version for data enter.
https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/index.html

For users who pursue relative stability and use equipment for productivity, add a new nvidia525 branch is a good idea.



Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Sounds like a candidate for the AUR, not the official repos.

I have successfully packaged Nvidia 525, and as a result, multiple GPUs are now functioning properly.

@Svenstaro has already talked about this in  FS#77975  and doesn't have the human bandwidth to maintain another Nvidia driver pkg. Nothing will happen unless someone steps up in the AUR etc etc etc....

@Toolybird

The following package is available for now,

https://github.com/homjay/archlinux-nvidia-production-branch/releases/tag/x86_64

I will consider submitting to AUR if everything goes well.

I just did submit the 525 branch to AUR, enjoy: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=525xx

I am going to use that specific branch on one of my machines for the time being as it has some issues with 530.
Now, I didn't do the `lib32` part yet but this just took me the whole night, especially to tackle an issue that `paru` had but not `makepkg`. I'll surely do the `lib32` tomorrow.

To hell with my sleep, `lib32` seemed so easy I did it anyway!

@shisui Thank you :)

525 has stopped existing now that the new 535 is out. As such, this bug report is now void.
