Subject: [PATCH v7 20/23] nova-core: gsp: Extract usable FB region from GSP
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:20:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218212020.800836-21-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218212020.800836-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Add first_usable_fb_region() to GspStaticConfigInfo to extract the first
usable FB region from GSP's fbRegionInfoParams. Usable regions are those
that are not reserved or protected.
The extracted region is stored in GetGspStaticInfoReply and exposed via
usable_fb_region() API for use by the memory subsystem.
