In that case the comment here doesn't make much sense. Thierry

There are ways to query this in a chipset-independent way. However, despite reporting it as an error if no copy engines are available, the code should continue on without the channel happily. Perhaps we can just punt the relevent error messages to a debug loglevel for now? > >> + arg0 = NVE0_CHANNEL_IND_ENGINE_GR; >> + arg1 = 1; >> + } else >> if (device->card_type >= NV_E0) { > > The formatting here is somewhat weird.

Sure, that would be more future-proof as well. > >> >>> + arg0 = NVE0_CHANNEL_IND_ENGINE_GR; >>> + arg1 = 1; >>> + } else >>> if (device->card_type >= NV_E0) { >> >> The formatting here is somewhat weird.

It looks nicer though :) I don't mind either way though. Yeah, I just followed the style of the file here. Whether it needs to change or not is not my call. :P >>> + /* Need to figure out how to handle sw for gk20a */ >>> + if (device->chipset == 0xea) >>> + goto skip_sw_init; >> >> The commit message makes it sound like SW isn't needed since gk20a >> "lacks any display hardware".

As far as I have looked (that is, not very far), SW methods are used for display-related functions, but there might be other use-cases too. Maybe someone who knows better can confirm?

Maybe someone who knows better can confirm? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau/tree/nvkm/engine/software/nvc0.c Take a look at nvc0_software_mthd_mp_control -- that's used in the mesa driver to... well, control those things :) They're related to PGRAPH, which should be available on the GK20A. [Not sure what they do though. One of them is about turning off error reporting.] -ilia

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if nvidia had reserved method ids in the 3d object class that were supposed to be used for this, rather than from a sw object class.. > > -ilia

Perhaps we can > just punt the relevent error messages to a debug loglevel for now? Do you know how to query this in a chipset-independant way? I have failed to find any information for this. The code does continue without any issue after reporting the error, so indeed that check is not strictly necessary. But I was just mimicking what follows right after: if (device->chipset >= 0xa3 && device->chipset != 0xaa && device->chipset != 0xac) { ret = nouveau_channel_new(drm, &drm->client, NVDRM_DEVICE, NVDRM_CHAN + 1, NvDmaFB, NvDmaTT, &drm->cechan); if (ret) NV_ERROR(drm, "failed to create ce channel, %d\n", ret); arg0 = NvDmaFB; arg1 = NvDmaTT; } else { arg0 = NvDmaFB; arg1 = NvDmaTT; } So if we are trying to avoid showing this error for 0xa0 class devices, why not for NV_E0?

GK20A does not embed a dedicated COPY engine and thus cannot allocate the copy channel that nouveau_accel_init() attempts to create. It also lacks any display hardware, so the creation of a software channel does not apply neither.
