Subject: [Devel] [PATCH vz10 v2] drm: decline the device with -ENODEV when modesetting is off
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 19:03:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824170329.465022-1-khorenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821153821.799764-1-eva.kurchatova@virtuozzo.com>
From: Eva Kurchatova <eva.kurchatova@virtuozzo.com>
Our kernels disable modesetting by default, see commit 7932a11226c8
("drm: Disable modeset by default"), so on a machine that was not booted
with "modeset" every KMS driver declines the device it was offered.
Almost all of them report -ENODEV in such case, which really_probe()
reports as "rejects match" at debug level. virtio_gpu and amdgpu return
-EINVAL instead, which the same function reports as
virtio_gpu virtio0: probe with driver virtio_gpu failed with error -22
at error level, for a device the driver was never going to drive. It is
the only device error in the log of an otherwise healthy machine, and
the devices/error_logs selftest reports it, correctly.
Return -ENODEV, as the other drivers do. Nothing else changes: the probe
still does not happen and no drm device appears.

Changes in v2:
- fix amdgpu as well. It has the same -EINVAL after the same
drm_firmware_drivers_only() check, so on a machine with an AMD card it
produces the same error level message. virtio_gpu was not the only
driver out of line.
- drop the driver counts from the commit message. The exact numbers
depend on how one counts, since some drivers call the helper without a
return next to it, and they go stale with every new driver.
- subject: drm/virtio -> drm, the patch is no longer about one driver.
- add a Fixes: tag, and the "commit" before the referenced sha1 that
checkpatch asks for.
