Description Benjamin Bellec 2016-03-13 20:29:36 UTC 
I wanted to try "ethminer" (the OpenCL Ethereum miner) on Mesa.
I installed Ubuntu 15.10 (x86-64), the "ethminer" client, and the Oibaf PPA Mesa packages.

The OpenCL's Mesa detects only 1GB on my Radeon R9 390 8GB.
So I can't even start "ethminer" since it currently requires 1.4 GB.

Moreover, the two others R9 Nano plugged in the computer are not even detected by "ethminer" nor "clinfo".

    gallium/radeon: add and use radeon_info::max_alloc_size (v2)
    
    v2: - squashed the patches
        - use INT_MAX
        - clamp max_const_buffer_size
        - check the DRM version in radeon
