Subject: [PATCH RFC v6 17/26] nova-core: mm: Add Virtual Memory Manager
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 15:42:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120204303.3229303-18-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120204303.3229303-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Add the Virtual Memory Manager (VMM) for GPU address space management.
The VMM provides high-level page mapping and unmapping operations for
BAR1 address spaces.
The VMM provides mapping, unmapping, lookup, and page table allocations.
Uses GpuMm for access to buddy allocator, PRAMIN, and TLB. Extends the
page table walker with walk_to_pte_allocate() for on-demand page table
creation.

+//! Virtual Memory Manager for NVIDIA GPU page table management.
+//!
+//! The [`Vmm`] provides high-level page mapping and unmapping operations for GPU
+//! virtual address spaces (Channels, BAR1, BAR2). It wraps the page table walker
+//! and handles TLB flushing after modifications.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! use crate::mm::vmm::Vmm;
+//! use crate::mm::{GpuMm, Pfn, Vfn, VramAddress};
+//! use crate::mm::pagetable::MmuVersion;
+//! use kernel::sizes::SZ_1M;
+//!
+//! fn map_example(mm: &mut GpuMm, pdb_addr: VramAddress) -> Result<()> {
+//! let mut vmm = Vmm::new(pdb_addr, MmuVersion::V2, SZ_1M as u64)?;
+//!
+//! // Map virtual frame 0x100 to physical frame 0x200.
+//! let vfn = Vfn::new(0x100);
+//! let pfn = Pfn::new(0x200);
+//! vmm.map_page(mm, vfn, pfn, true /* writable */)?;
+//!
+//! Ok(())
+//! }
+//! ```
