Description Jeremy Linton 2016-12-01 16:08:22 UTC 
Description of problem: Putting a 9600GT (NV50) in a softiron 3k machine the nouveau driver fails to claim the board with -ENOMEM. This appears to be a 64k page bug in the ttm subsystem (and therefore likely affects more than just the NV50). Building the fedora kernel with 4k pages fixes the problem and the console then appears on a monitor connected to the board. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install NV50 with a stock fedora
2. Look at attached card 
3.

Actual results:
[root@mammon-seattle-raw ~]# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device 1a00
00:02.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device 1a01
00:02.1 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device 1a02
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)

[root@mammon-seattle-raw modules]# modprobe nouveau
[drm] Initialized
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: NVIDIA G94 (094100a1)
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bios: version 62.94.0d.00.04
nouveau: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -22

Expected results:


Additional info:
So there are a couple other "gocha's" here. First is that the nvidia driver when built with ACPI requires the acpi_button module, which won't load in a DT enviroment. So at the moment even with a 4k kernel the machine must be running with acpi. There is also a nasty message with ACPI if the ACPI/ARM/MSI patches aren't in place (mainline). 


With debug=spam on nouveau and dyndbg=+p for ttm and a little extra custom debug info, the failure that kills it seems to be in ttm_bo_validate.

Where the reallocate fails. But that may not be the root cause..
