--- Comment #3 from Andy Ritger <aritger at nvidia.com> ---
So far from the stack trace, it looks like a process (vimb) using a user-mode
nvidia driver component (OpenGL?) was killed due to running out of swap,
nvidia.ko attempted to clean up after that process, and somehow confused itself
over resources that had been allocated for that user-mode nvidia driver
component.

Michael: are you able to trigger this on demand by manually killing vimb, or
does it require running out of swap and inducing the out-of-memory killer?

340.96 is a relatively old NVIDIA driver version.  Could you test with
something more recent?  E.g., either of these:

Thanks.
