This is what Nvidia did after using nvidia-smi, which is not very far
from what happens now with the patch.
kernel: nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 235
kernel: nvidia 0000:01:00.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes:
olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=none
kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 430.34 Wed
Jun 26 12:19:48 CDT 2019
kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: GPU does not have the necessary power
cables connected.
kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x25:0x1c:1133)
kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0
Also, when booting, POST refuses to boot if power cables are not
connected, but there are scenarios where you don't boot with the
Nvidia GPU.
I am not sure about limiting it to warning, it makes sense but I also
think it should fail.
But I wanted to ask about the error messages. At this moment, this is
current output:
[17383.042727] nouveau 0000:12:00.0: gpio: GPU is missing power, check
its power cables. Boot with nouveau.config=NvPowerChecks=0 to disable.
[17383.042728] nouveau 0000:12:00.0: gpio: init failed, -22
[17383.042986] nouveau 0000:12:00.0: init failed with -22
[17383.042987] nouveau: DRM-master:00000000:00000080: init failed with -22
[17383.042990] nouveau 0000:12:00.0: DRM-master: Device allocation failed: -22
[17383.043458] nouveau: probe of 0000:12:00.0 failed with error -22
Isn't it a wrong place to implement the checks? Maybe I should put it
somewhere else?
