Subject: [Devel] [PATCH vz10] drm/virtio: decline the device with -ENODEV when modesetting is off
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 18:38:20 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821153821.799764-1-eva.kurchatova@virtuozzo.com> (raw)

Our kernels disable modesetting by default, see 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. Of 23
existing upstream drm drivers, 21 report -ENODEV in such case, which
really_probe() reports as "rejects match" at debug level. virtio_gpu
returns -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.
