drm->master isn't really a nouveau_cli, and is mostly just used to get at an nvif_mmu object to implement a hack around issues with the ioctl interface to nvkm. Later patches in this series allocate nvif_device/mmu objects in nouveau_drm directly, removing the need for master. A pending series to remove the "ioctl" layer between DRM and NVKM removes the need for the above-mentioned hack entirely. The only other member of drm->master that's needed is the nvif_client, and is a dependency of device/mmu. So the first step is to move its allocation out of code handling nouveau_cli init. v2: - modified slightly due to the addition of tegra/pci cleanup patches v3: - move nvif init below drm_dev_alloc() to avoid changing nouveau_name() Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240726043828.58966-7-bskeggs@nvidia.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
