[oi-dev] [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sun/Oracle China's DRM//KMS Sol11.2 port backported to function on old-style gfxp_private from pre-2010 era but still immediatedly PANICS

Sat Dec 5 07:42:25 UTC 2015

Dear Friends,

thanks for your patience and sorry that I could not read any email for almost a week.
Finally I sent all legal texts regarding the first suit. And as it looks I might probably win the case and currently I'm demanding back 1000 EUR, rather than paying those ridiculous unjustified 300 EUR to that liar and thief.

Before I deal with the second suit again from Monday on (similar story), I finally have about exactly 26 hours of time for community work plus already did rest 5 hours.
After some quick breakfast I start by finishing/polishing the DRM stuff from 2 weeks ago. You hear from me later today in a couple of hours / afternoon.

As this will be released then (for further investigation by Sun), I switch over to the Thunderbird port.

Thanks to everybody who wished me luch and success in personal messages, which I just saw  :):):)

Have a wonderful Saturday,
till later,

%martin

>I already walked through the steps you mentioned. Because without implementing such mempools myself (and I'm not enrtirely sure in which way your calls to it expect it to be implemented) I cannot use mempools on Illumos anyway, because according to S11.3's gfx_private.h they were implemented in a file now belonging to the misc/amd64/gfx_private submodule which does not even exists at all on Illumos: gfxp_bitmap.c

>So this having said I didn't have any other option (while continuing to avoid implementing such mempools myself [which is, as you say, not a recommened idea anyway]). That's why I already did perform the steps you suggsted last week.
>It works great without all newer Sol11.1++ functions and structs, only - although there is no reason - on earlier releases (S11.0 and Illumos) it instatly causes a TRAP and panics the host, leaving even Xorg.log.0 empty (not yet written to disk).

>I publish the dump files (several, also from S11.0) - although the problem always happens at the same point and looks identical - and the bins plus src diffs directly in about 48 hours.
