Subject: [PATCH v4 1/1] vfio/nvgrace-gpu: Add Blackwell-Next GPU readiness check via CXL DVSEC
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:06:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421140659.748577-1-ankita@nvidia.com> (raw)
Add a CXL DVSEC-based readiness check for Blackwell-Next GPUs alongside
the existing legacy BAR0 polling path. On probe and after reset, the
driver reads the CXL Device DVSEC capability to determine whether the
GPU memory is ready. A static inline wrapper dispatches to the
appropriate readiness check (legacy v/s blackwell-next based on whether
the CXL DVSEC capability is present.
The memory readiness is checked by polling on the Memory_Active bit
based on the Memory_Active_Timeout. It also checks if MEM_INFO_VALID
is set within 1 second. If not, return error. This is based on the
CXL spec 4.0 Tables 8-13.
Add PCI_DVSEC_CXL_MEM_ACTIVE_TIMEOUT to pci_regs.h for the timeout
field encoding.
