[SOLVED] Linux 3.10/3.11 incompatibility: In function ‘nv_i2c_del_adapter’ error

GPU Unix Graphics Linux
#1

Currently all NVIDIA drivers are incompatible with Linux kernel 3.10.

/usr/src/nvidia-313.30/nv-i2c.c: In function ‘nv_i2c_del_adapter’:
/usr/src/nvidia-313.30/nv-i2c.c:327:14: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/nvidia-313.30/nv-i2c.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/nvidia-313.30] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/linux-3.10'
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

Please, update them.

I’m talking about:

313.30
319.32
325.08 beta

LTS releases:
304.88
173.14.37
96.43.23 & 71.86.15 (not really necessary - the supported hardware is pretty ancient)

[b]Update: drivers 325.15 are fully compatible with kernel 3.10.

There’s a little incompatibility with kernel 3.11, which can be fixed by applying this patch.[/b]

#2

I Agree

#3

Really, and something wrong about procfs

#4

My GCC didn’t go as far as to whine about procfs ;-)

#5

The patch below installs cleanly up to 319.32.

I played a bit around with the patches.
The nv_i2c file is easy to correct. But the proc* file is tricky. I can just say, that with 3.10 stable kernel release compiling even with patch is not possible with 325 and 319 driver series.

#7

The patch works with 319.32.

#8

Here’s the patch I use with 325.08 and linux-3.10-git:

http://pastie.org/8123499

#9

I think this patch could compile, but I am not sure what deletion of NV_CREATE_PROC_FILE will cause?!
Is the driver still stable and working?

#10

I just built Nvidia 325.08 against linux kernel 3.10.0-1-06005-gd2b4a64-dirty using mlau’s patch. It seems to work fine.

#11

dgrat,

Aside from /proc/driver/nvidia/warnings/* NVIDIA drivers don’t put any crucial information into /proc so I guess it’s not really that important.

#12

The following patch provides a simple fix:
http://pastebin.com/N0a5KMZa
It disables the proc fs, but it seems not to be needed anyway (nvidia-settings works fine). I tested it with the nvidia version 295.20.

#13

I have it working with 304.88 (current Debian-testing), after hacking siddly’s patch a little (removed more references to NV_CREATE_PROC_FILE). Seems to work ok (no compile errors, graphics look ok, no bad log entries).

Patch is at http://pastebin.com/3nstAMLE.

sean64’s patch of 7/10 might have worked (it’s at least very simple, as he says), but patch reports it as incomplete (“stops in the middle of a line”). Don’t know why.

#14

I made a couple of modifications to the above patches in order to really clean up the /proc/driver/nvidia directory, which remained on the way after rmmoding the nvidia module, thus causing oopses at the next modprobe when the module tried to create again its proc directory.

The patch, for v319.32, is available at http://pastebin.com/JDpkR3kt.

#15

Hey, NVIDIA, when will you fix this incompatibility?

3.10 was released two months ago and people cannot use your drivers normally.

#16

@birdie Totally agree…hope they read some of these posts?

#17

325.15 yippee

#18

325.15 still needs nv-linux.h part for 3.11-rcX kernels.

#19

@Milos_SD, -rc kernels are not supported.

#20

I know. I just pointed out to users, how to get it working. :)
Here is that part of the patch that is needed.
