Re: [gentoo-dev] Patch for nvidia-drivers 367.35-r1 for kernels > 4.7.0

Hi, Thanks for the detailed explanation of your testing procedure! It is good to know what is behind a local patched driver, just in case.. :) Best regards, Natanael. On 6 August 2016 at 16:20, David Haller wrote: > Hello, > > On Sat, 06 Aug 2016, Natanael Olaiz wrote: > >Thank you for your p

David, Thank you for your patch. It was a good example to answer my question. But about the patch itself, I see that you are commented the code for radix_tree_empty(...). In my patch I renamed it and it only usage instead, so I'm sure it's calling the same code. I don't know the expected compatib

Yes, thank you. I did the local repository path at the moment. I was thinking on pushing the patch upstream, but now I read on the ebuild I'm editing (using the check kernel_is :) ) : if use kernel_linux && kernel_is ge 4 7; then ewarn "Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NV

Re: [gentoo-dev] Patch for nvidia-drivers 367.35-r1 for kernels > 4.7.0

I know that. But the patch should be applied *only* for versions of kernels 4.7+. So, I'm asking how is the policy for that. I see in the linux-info eclass documentation ( https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/linux-info.eclass/index.html) that I can maybe apply it with a line like this?
