Regression of nvidia-lts 1:570.124.04-1

Description:

Kernel: linux-lts 6.12.17-1

~$ uname -r
6.12.17-1-lts

GPU: Quadro T1000

~$ lspci -Dnn -s 0a:00.0
0000:0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation TU117GLM [Quadro T1000 Mobile] [10de:1fb0] (rev a1)

Driver: nvidia-lts 1:570.124.04-1

~$ pacman -Q | grep nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils 570.124.04-1
nvidia-lts 1:570.124.04-1
nvidia-utils 570.124.04-1

nvidia_drm params:

~$  cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf 
options nvidia_drm modeset=1
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1

Failure signature: [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID xxx ] Flip event timeout on head yyy

~$ journalctl -b -1 -o cat --output-fields=MESSAGE | grep nvidia_drm

[drm:nv_drm_atomic_commit [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000a00] Flip event timeout on head 1

Workaround:
Downgrade kernel and nvidia-lts, temporarily ignore them during upgrade until issue resolved:

~$ sudo pacman -U \
./linux-lts-6.12.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \
./linux-lts-headers-6.12.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \
./nvidia-utils-570.86.16-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \
./lib32-nvidia-utils-570.86.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \
./nvidia-lts-1\:570.86.16-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

~$ cat /var/log/pacman.log
...
[ALPM] downgraded linux-lts (6.12.17-1 -> 6.12.13-1)
[ALPM] downgraded linux-lts-headers (6.12.17-1 -> 6.12.13-1)
[ALPM] downgraded nvidia-utils (570.124.04-1 -> 570.86.16-2)
[ALPM] downgraded lib32-nvidia-utils (570.124.04-1 -> 570.86.16-1)
[ALPM] downgraded nvidia-lts (1:570.124.04-1 -> 1:570.86.16-4) 
...

~$ cat /etc/pacman.conf | grep Ignore
...
IgnorePkg   = nvidia-lts nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils linux-lts linux-lts-headers
...

Re: Regression of nvidia-lts 1:570.124.04-1

I experienced the same issue after updating from 570.86 to 570.124. Screen freezes on startup and can't get to tty using a high refresh rate monitor on wayland.
journalctl:
commit [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Flip event timeout on head 0
commit [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to apply atomic modeset. Error code: -22

Work around I found is setting display refresh rate to 60 when booting up, after enter DE set refresh rate back up. worked with 570.124.04-1

nVidia is tracking internally what looks very similar to @UnforgettableJay's problem description.

nvidia-lts 570.133.07 is now available in the Extra-Testing repository and hopefully resolves this issue.
