Nouveau driver and Linux 2.6.33 RT

[Miklos Aubert <miklos.aubert@gmail.com>]

Hello fellow RT users,

I've built a 2.6.33.7 kernel with the RT patch and the Nouveau driver
enabled, but Xorg doesn't start.

Using the _same_ configuration and removing the RT patch (vanilla
kernel from kernel.org), Xorg works.

Booting with drm.debug=1, and comparing the kernel logs, I find that
the RT kernel seems to be having trouble here :

[   31.651720] [drm:drm_ioctl], pid=1904, cmd=0x6440, nr=0x40, dev
0xe200, auth=1
[   31.651724] [drm:drm_ioctl], no function
[   31.651726] [drm:drm_ioctl], ret = ffffffea

These messages come from the drm_ioctl() function in
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c. But which ioctl are we calling here ? I
guess one can find it from the cmd=0x6440 code. Not me though, I tried
to make sense of the source code, but my C is very rusty and it's
macros and includes all the way down...

Anyway, to me this problem seems to come from the modifications that
the RT patch does on drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_channel.c. It
changes the definition macro from DRM_IOCTL_DEF to DRM_IOCTL_DEF_DRV,
but also removes some lines. Why ?
