similar to: master-compat branch in nouveau/linux-2.6

Hi, I think it is safe to say, that the drm.git Nouveau kernel modules are now abandoned. The build has been broken for several days. The replacement is the Nouveau kernel tree. I have been updating the instructions in the wiki, so you should get all the information there. The InstallDRM guide should now be complete, there are even *small* daily snapshots for people who fear 'git clone'

Hi, the master-compat branch in nouveau/linux-2.6 kernel tree has got a little bit out of hand. Distributions are packaging that, and I cannot know if they warn their users well enough about the hazards of using backported DRM (see: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/UpstreamKernelIssues ). I originally intended master-compat as an easy way of installing the Nouveau flavour of DRM modules even

Hi, I've been using nouveau driveau for 8 months or so, using automated build from drm git, xf86-video-nouveau git and even sometimes mesa drm git and discovered the linux-core build did not build the nouveau driver the hard way: X was refusing to start as the nouveau.ko modules was not loaded nor build. Build process did chnage without obvious way to know womething was wrong. Then I tried

A cleanup of nouveau_dma_wait(): extract a sub-function and eliminate two variables to improve readability. No functional changes.

Hi Thomas, I meant to ask you this 24h ago: why did you deliberately break Nouveau in drm.git? The commit 9a33f62be1c478334572ea9384af60 "drm: Strip old ttm." not only removes the old TTM, it explicitly removes Nouveau from Makefile. IMHO this means you knew it broke Nouveau and you did not care. And there is no explanation in the commit as to why. Did you ask any Nouveau developer if

Noticed by sparse: in nouveau_dp_link_train(), the array 'status' was defined as 2 bytes, yet it was accessed for 3 bytes. Fix it by making the array size 3.

Hi all, it seems that the translations in the Nouveau wiki have been rotting for some time. Many translated pages even have a note saying they are not up to date, which makes me think they are not going to be updated anymore at all. I am planning to remove all translation links from FrontPage and FAQ. I will not remove the pages themselves. If someone wants to come back and actually maintain a

Introduce accessors for TTM buffer object memory that has been mapped into the kernel virtual address space or as IO memory. IO memory needs to be accessed via special accessor functions, not by dereferencing the iomem cookie. The wrappers hide the details of 32-bit access and honour the TTM map type. nv04_crtc_cursor_set() is changed to use the new wrappers. 'cursor' is received from

After every iounmap mmiotrace has to free kmmio_fault_pages, but it can't do it directly, so it defers freeing by RCU. It usually works, but when mmiotraced code calls ioremap-iounmap multiple times without sleeping between (so RCU won't kick in and start freeing) it can be given the same virtual address, so at every iounmap mmiotrace will schedule the same pages for release. Obviously it
