Subject: [PATCH v7 22/23] nova-core: mm: Use usable VRAM region for buddy allocator
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:20:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218212020.800836-23-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218212020.800836-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

The buddy allocator manages the actual usable VRAM. On my GA102 Ampere
with 24GB video memory, that is ~23.7GB on a 24GB GPU enabling proper
GPU memory allocation for driver use.
