[Nouveau] Trouble with TTM patches w/nouveau in linux-next
Christian - potentially relevant is that Tegra doesn't have VRAM at all -- all GTT (or GART or whatever it's called nowadays). No fake/stolen VRAM.

[Nouveau] Trouble with TTM patches w/nouveau in linux-next
Good point, but I think that is unrelated. My suspicion is rather that nouveau is not initializing the underlying GEM object for internal allocations. So what happens is the same as on VMWGFX that TTM doesn't know anything about the size to of the BO resulting in a kmalloc() with a random value and eventually -ENOMEM. Good news is that I can reproduce it, so going to look into that later today. Regards, Christian.
