But I'm curious as to why you took this approach as opposed to just adding "if (!nouveau_staging) return -EINVAL;" directly in the experimental ioctls?

Mainly because we will likely forget to add this check (or to remove it) in some of the staging ioctls. The current solution doesn't require us to think about that - and the less things to think about, the better. > I think, in line with > what's been done in other places, having module options per-api is > perhaps a better choice too. Do you mean that each experimental ioctl should have its own enable option? I don't mind going that way if you think it is preferable. And in that case my comment above is void. But actually I wonder if having these experimental ioctls enabled as compile options (either individually or as a whole) would not be better. Some experimental ioctls may require code in staging (like the PUSHBUF_2 ioctl that I would like to submit next), and I don't think it is desirable to force extra code or kernel options (in this case, CONFIG_STAGING) to Nouveau users who will not make use of them. I remember that we concluded in favor or module options on IRC, but in the light of this, wouldn't a config option be a less intrusive choice? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Right, but the whole point of this is to encourage the ioctls to not live there for too long, and progress to fully supported interfaces.

Do we really want this? I admit to having slightly misread your last paragraph. For cases such as thas, a config option that depends on STAGING *and* the kernel parameter should be used. What is pushbuf2 doing that requires staging btw? You've linked me to patches previously, but I missed that.

Actually we also have a patch that makes a change in the Android sync code that pushbuf2 depends on, and without pushbuf2 it does not make much sense by itself (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg63832.html ), so I will send the pushbuf2 patches along with it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Add a module option allowing to enable staging/unstable APIs. This will allow us to experiment freely with experimental APIs for a while before setting them in stone.
