Subject: [PATCH RFC v6 00/26] nova-core: Memory management infrastructure (v6)
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 15:42:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120204303.3229303-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
This series is rebased on drm-rust-kernel/drm-rust-next and provides memory
management infrastructure for the nova-core GPU driver. It combines several
previous series and provides a foundation for nova GPU memory management
including page tables, virtual memory management, and BAR mapping. All these
are critical nova-core features.
The series includes:
- A Rust module (CList) to interface with C circular linked lists, required
for iterating over buddy allocator blocks.
- Movement of the DRM buddy allocator up to drivers/gpu/ level, renamed to GPU buddy.
- Rust bindings for the GPU buddy allocator.
- PRAMIN aperture support for direct VRAM access.
- Page table types for MMU v2 and v3 formats.
- Virtual Memory Manager (VMM) for GPU virtual address space management.
- BAR1 user interface for mapping access GPU via virtual memory.
- Selftests for PRAMIN and BAR1 user interface (disabled by default).
Changes from v5 to v6:
- Rebased on drm-rust-kernel/drm-rust-next
- Added page table types and page table walker infrastructure
- Added Virtual Memory Manager (VMM)
- Added BAR1 user interface
- Added TLB flush support
- Added GpuMm memory manager
- Extended to 26 patches from 6 (full mm infrastructure now included)
The git tree with all patches can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (tag: nova-mm-v6-20260120)
Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251219203805.1246586-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
Previous series that are combined:
- v4 (clist + buddy): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251204215129.2357292-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
- v3 (clist only): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251129213056.4021375-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
- v2 (clist only): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251111171315.2196103-4-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
- clist RFC (original with buddy): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251030190613.1224287-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
- DRM buddy move: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251124234432.1988476-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
- PRAMIN series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251020185539.49986-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
