Linux kernel source tree
1cf52a0d4b
The layout of bits within the individual tiles
(referred to as sectors in the
DRM_FORMAT_MOD_NVIDIA_BLOCK_LINEAR_2D() macro)
changed for 8 and 16-bit surfaces starting in
Blackwell 2 GPUs (With the exception of GB10).
To denote the difference, extend the sector field
in the parametric format modifier definition used
to generate modifier values for NVIDIA hardware.
Without this change, it would be impossible to
differentiate the two layouts based on modifiers,
and as a result software could attempt to share
surfaces directly between pre-GB20x and GB20x
cards, resulting in corruption when the surface
was accessed on one of the GPUs after being
populated with content by the other.
Of note: This change causes the
DRM_FORMAT_MOD_NVIDIA_BLOCK_LINEAR_2D() macro to
evaluate its "s" parameter twice, with the side
effects that entails. I surveyed all usage of the
modifier in the kernel and Mesa code, and that
does not appear to be problematic in any current
usage, but I thought it was worth calling out.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
