Subject: [PATCH v7 21/23] nova-core: fb: Add usable_vram field to FbLayout
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:20:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218212020.800836-22-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218212020.800836-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Add usable_vram field to FbLayout to store the usable VRAM region for
driver allocations. This is populated after GSP boot with the region
extracted from GSP's fbRegionInfoParams.
FbLayout is now a two-phase structure:
1. new() computes firmware layout from hardware
2. set_usable_vram() populates usable region from GSP
The new usable_vram field represents the actual usable VRAM region
(~23.7GB on a 24GB GPU GA102 Ampere GPU).
