@pakmarkthub can you comment on this issue? It does not look like a gdrcopy issue to me, but it is hard to be sure without a repro.

The issue is likely from missing the linux kernel headers. @goelayu When you installed the NVIDIA driver, did you install the dkms package or kmod package? If you installed the kmod package, this gdrcopy dkms package is not for you.
