Hi,


A nouveau developer(Lyude) from redhat send me a R-B,

Thanks for the developers of nouveau project.


Please allow me add a link[1] here.

The vga_is_firmware_default() function is arch-dependent, it's probably
wrong if we simply remove the arch guard. As the VRAM BAR which contains
firmware framebuffer may move, while the lfb_base and lfb_size members of
the screen_info does not change accordingly. In short, it should take the
re-allocation of the PCI BAR into consideration.

With the observation that device drivers or video aperture helpers may
have better knowledge about which PCI bar contains the firmware fb,
which could avoid the need to iterate all of the PCI BARs. But as a PCI
function at pci/vgaarb.c, vga_is_firmware_default() is not suitable to
make such an optimization since it is loaded too early.

There are PCI display controllers that don't have a dedicated VRAM bar,
this function will lose its effectiveness in such a case. Luckily, the
device driver can provide an accurate workaround.

Therefore, this patch introduces a callback that allows the device driver
to tell the VGAARB if the device is the default boot device. This patch
only intends to introduce the mechanism, while the implementation is left
to the device driver authors. Also honor the comment: "Clients have two
callback mechanisms they can use"
