Subject: [PATCH v8 6/6] gpu: nova-core: provide a clear error report for unsupported GPUs
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 18:41:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114024109.465136-7-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251114024109.465136-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>

Pass in a PCI device to Spec::new(), and provide a Display
implementation for boot42, in order to provide a clear, concise report
of what happened: the driver read NV_PMC_BOOT42, and found that the GPU
is not supported.

For very old GPUs (older than Fermi), the driver still returns ENOTSUPP,
but it does so without a driver-specific dmesg report. That is exactly
appropriate, because if such a GPU is installed, it can only be
supported by Nouveau. And if so, the user is not helped by additional
error messages from Nova.

Here's the full dmesg output for a Blackwell (not yet supported) GPU:

NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: Probe Nova Core GPU driver.
NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: Unsupported chipset: boot42 = 0x1b2a1000 (architecture 0x1b, implementation 0x2)
NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: probe with driver NovaCore failed with error -524
