The short form:

Out of tree modules are the problem of their maintainers. Kernel support
is basically limited to not intentionally breaking the basic mechanism for
compiling an out-of-tree module.

The long form:

Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst - go read it.

Yes, it's still very much alive :) I would check your email filters and
spam folder, or if nothing else just re-subscribe.

How can the kernel developers change code in a closed source external
body of source?  Hint, it's nvidia's responsibility :)

4.19-rc3 incompatible with nvidia driver

2018-09-20 Thread Daan Wendelen
Hi,

The latest nvidia driver is incompatible with 4.19-rc3 because
"drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property" got renamed to
"drm_connector_update_edid_property" and
"drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder" to "drm_connector_attach_encoder" in
the linux headers.

Is this considered the fault of linux or is it considered nvidia's
responsibility to fix this?

If it's considered regression in the Linux kernel, to who (/ which mailing
list) do I report this?

I have not received any updates since 12/12/16. Was I taken off the 
list, or is the list dead?
