similar to: [PATCH v2 0/5] drm/nouveau: Backlight fixes and cleanup

This series fixes some issues with nouveau's backlight support that were causing kernel panics on module reloads, specifically on systems with nouveau handling the backlight of one of the displays. While we're at it, let's cleanup nouveau_backlight.c as well Lyude Paul (5): drm/nouveau: Check backlight IDs are >= 0, not > 0 drm/nouveau: Move backlight device into

Forgot to send 6 patches instead of five since there's one new one now, whoops! No actual changes, next version of https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/48596/ Lyude Paul (6): drm/nouveau: Check backlight IDs are >= 0, not > 0 drm/nouveau: Add NV_PRINTK_ONCE and variants drm/nouveau: Move backlight device into nouveau_connector drm/nouveau:

Refactor for Ben, hopefully this time this should apply to his tree. Next version of https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/48596/ No changes otherwise.

Next version of https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/48596/ . Added NV_INFO_ONCE and made "Move backlight device into nouveau_connector" use that instead so we don't print the GMUX warning more then once.

Currently, every backlight interface created by Nouveau uses the same name, nv_backlight. This leads to a sysfs warning as it tries to create an already existing folder. This patch adds a incremented number to the name, but keeps the initial name as nv_backlight, to avoid possibly breaking userspace; the second interface will be named nv_backlight1, and so on.

If have a couple patches I found while looking at a panic I was seeing while unloading the nouveau module. Unloading the nouveau module on my optimus notebook machine causes the system to panic. This started occuring when moving from 4.4 to 4.14. These patches make it such that the system does not panic when unloading the module. 4.14 also requires commit 34112bf4935d ("drm/nouveau/fbcon:

Patches 1-5 are Reviewed-by: Karol Herbst <kherbst at redhat.com> I think it might be worth to test those patches on a system without any backlight devices just to verify we don't break things, but the code looked good already, so maybe we don't really need to test.

Unbinding nouveau on a dual GPU MacBook Pro oopses because we iterate over the bl_connectors list in nouveau_backlight_exit() but skipped initializing it in nouveau_backlight_init().

This fixes some nasty issues I found in nouveau that were being caused looping through connectors using racy legacy methods, along with some caused by making incorrect assumptions about the drm_connector structs in nouveau's connector list. Most of these memory corruption issues could be reproduced by using an MST hub with nouveau. Next version of

The Apple GMUX is the one managing the backlight, so there is no need for Nouveau to register its own backlight interface.
