Commit 1e07d63749 ("drm/nouveau: add kconfig option to turn off nouveau

actually tried that option (CONFIG_NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT=n):

Calling drm_legacy_mmap is definitely not a great idea. I think either
we need a custom patch to remove that out on older kernels, or maybe
even #ifdef if you want to be super paranoid about breaking stuff ...

Upstream does not have that problem, as commit bed2dd8421 ("drm/ttm:
Quick-test mmap offset in ttm_bo_mmap()") has removed the use of
drm_legacy_mmap from nouveau_ttm.c. Unfortunately that commit does not
apply in 5.1.9.

Most likely 4.19.50 and 4.14.125 are also affected, I haven't tested
them yet.
They probably are.

Should I just revert this patch in the stable tree, or add some other
patch (like the one pointed out here, which seems an odd patch for
stable...)
... or backport the above patch, that should be save to do too. Not
sure what stable folks prefer?
The above patch does not apply to all of the stable branches, so how
about I just revert this? People can live with this option not able to
turn off for now, and if they really want it, they can use a newer
kernel, right?

Or add the simple fix suggested by Daniel (if I understand correctly):


From: Thomas Backlund <tmb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Setting CONFIG_NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT=n (added by commit:
b30a43ac7132) causes the build to fail with:

ERROR: "drm_legacy_mmap" [drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko] undefined!

Fix that by adding check for CONFIG_NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT around
the code using drm_legacy_mmap()

Fixes: b30a43ac7132 drm/nouveau: add kconfig option to turn off
nouveau legacy contexts. (v3)

That's not quite correct, I am afraid. If
CONFIG_NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT is not defined, you still need to do
the test, but return -EINVAL. Something along these lines:

At least that builds for me, need to reboot to check whether it works.

Ah, indeed. thats what basically all other drivers did before bed2dd8421 ("drm/ttm:
Quick-test mmap offset in ttm_bo_mmap()"), and in that commit the same check
was moved to drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_vm.c
