<apw> slangasek, we know that the drm driver can be opened by splash before its ready. we had to add an 'EAGAIN' failure there <apw> slangasek, we may or may not cope with that in userspace <apw> commit 6d74feca6235b463ade4ecddd1dfdb73d30a2ff7 <apw> Author: Andy Whitcroft <a...@canonical.com> <apw> Date: Thu Jul 29 16:48:21 2010 +0100 <apw> UBUNTU: SAUCE: drm -- stop early access to drm devices <apw> slangasek, ^^ <apw> bryceh, its a race, we need to know the minors to tell the load method, but till its run we can't actually safely open them <apw> which is why we have to tell you to hang fire a sec <apw> though any open can return EAGAIN and you really should damn well listen :) <slangasek> upstart should not open the drm device at all - it's up to whatever wants to use it to handle this <slangasek> (assuming the kernel really can't defer announcing it until it's initialized) <apw> right, we presumably run plymouth or X and its crapping self cause the open failed <bryceh> ok, so then _X_ should block and retry on the device until it gets something working? <slangasek> yes <apw> that'd be helpful if it could <bryceh> hum <apw> as EAGAIN really means, ooops could you try that again please <apw> bryceh, well it should only do it for open == -1 and errno == EAGAIN
