Compile Failure with Ubuntu 24.04

[Ardy123]

First off, thank you for putting this together.

Second, I noticed a compile error when it attempts to compile the kernel module for ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-41-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC)

This is with the 340.108-patched-6.8 release.

the compiler error is...

   /tmp/selfgz5614/kernel/nv-linux.h:2262:52: error: passing argument 6 of 'get_user_pages_remote' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
    2262 |                                             pages, vmas, NULL);

Hello,

I'm happy to let you know that I was able to get the 340.108 driver working on kernel 6.11.

I've created a patch and started publishing information on GitHub. You're welcome to use it — here’s the link: 👉 https://github.com/kda2210/nvidia-340-ubuntu-24.04/

I'm writing to you from Russia. If my work is helpful to you, I would really appreciate it if you could help me in return by spreading the word about my project on English-speaking forums or websites. Unfortunately, my English is not good enough to do this effectively myself.

Thank you very much in advance!
