A software bug is being reported, but since the software log says the error is hardware, they try and close the bug. Notwithstanding the entire bug focuses on the systems response to having the nvidia kernel module loaded, and how it runs fine without the software, the entire bug was closed as invalid because the mcelog says some of the errors are hardware error. And, if mcelog say so, then it's got to be true! Sad, really.
Am I missing something? You're asserting that the problem appears when the nvidia module is loaded and goes away when the nv module is loaded? The nvidia module is not open-source AFAIK and was provided by the hardware vendor, so surely the hardware vendor is the right place to report the problem. Also that specific driver is the subject of a dispute with some kernel authors, so you can hardly expect them to spend time on it when the open source driver is working. And yes, I know it provides more functionality but that is because the hardware vendor has not released sufficient information to build the functionality into the open-source driver. So talking to the hardware vendor sounds like exactly the right course of action. Or did I misunderstand?
