Subject: [PATCH 06/27] gpu: nova-core: distinguish async GSP RPC traffic in debug logs
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:51:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819035221.336390-7-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819035221.336390-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
The receive path logged every message at the transport layer and did not
distinguish events from command replies. Async sends shared the RPC
sequence with waited-for commands, and GSP-initiated events arrived
with that field unset.
Print a distinct debug line for async send, sync send, event, and
command reply. Number async sends and events with driver-local counters.
IS_ASYNC selects only the send log line. Every command still carries the
next RPC sequence on the wire.
