As this issue has just come up on gentoo-dev as well, has the patch
worked for you (so far)? Please give a report if it worked or not.

I've been unable to run/test my system with that patch for longer to
really have an opinion (no idea when that code actually gets called
while running the driver).

TIA,

In this case: just create the dir

mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-367.35/

and save the patch there. The rest works "as if by magic" thanks to
the epatch-user in the ebuild. The version in the directory-name makes
it only get applied to that version of the driver.

I think that is true for EAPI-5. EAPI-6 or later ebuilds should only 
require the patch be located in the dir with the sources 
(/usr/portage  or /usr/local/portage/, I think.
(epatch-users is good to google on. There might be a bit more to it, but 
just google. Also, there are some eclasses that help this out a bit for 
more complicated hacks. [1]


1] https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/


Usually, the best thing to do is put (your) patches and a full copy of 
the ebuild into /usr/local/portage, for a guy like you who is hacking

at ebuilds for embedded  boards anyway.


proxy-maint folks are the best to answer these question and help you,
cause there are always twists and bumps along the way, like dependencies 
slightly changed and thus requiring a tweak. Unfortunately they are only 
available on the irc channel.  Hopefully on of the devs will clear this 
up even further, as last time I looked, this is a subject that the 
devManual has not fully documented, or anyone compiled a few examples 
for user to look at. It's a moving target depending on the EAPI-level of 
the ebuild.

I've got it working with the attached patch in
/etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-367.35/

I've no idea though, if I hit that codepath yet. Should work though,
as the patch makes the module use the kernel function and what I read
about radix_tree_gang_lookup() it should be ok this way.

But do not expect anything to work ;)

I'm courious what the official patch will be ;) The first part
(patching kernel/nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-{fb,gem}.c) I've found online.

Hi,

thanks a lot for the good news!
Fingers crossed...waiting in front of my monitor, compiler engines

The compiler will go where no men has ever compiled before...

	There is a duplicate definition of a function[1], the kernel apparently 
has a function and a certain parameter list and then someone at nVidia 
managed to use the same name but a different parameter list - hence the 
duplicate definition.


	I hit this last night, went back one kernel but the latest nvidia 
driver only works with the 4.7 series kernel so had to go one back with 
the drivers as well. It's known so just hang tight a day or two and all 
should be well.

[gentoo-user] NVidia drivers and vanilla kernel Linux 4.7.0 anyone?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

trying the new kernel linux-4.7 (vanilla, downloaded from
ftp.kernel.org) with nvidia drivers 
(Installed versions:  367.35-r1^md(03:00:46 07/30/16)(X driver kms
multilib uvm -acpi -compat -gtk3 -pax_kernel -static-libs -tools
-wayland KERNEL="linux -FreeBSD")).
The kernel compiled fine, the nvidia-drivers does not.

Anuone else with the same problem (read: This has to be
fixed by nvidia/Linus) or am I the only one (so it is
my problem...which does not neccessarily imply that I
know how to fix that ... ;) ???

Best regards
Meino
