Subject: [PATCH 11/17] gpu: nova-core: match GSP RPC replies by sequence, not just function
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 20:11:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808031120.363869-12-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260808031120.363869-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
The GSP replies to a command by echoing that command's function code and
its RPC sequence number.
nova-core matched replies on the function alone and never set the
sequence, so a reply for a command that had already timed out could
satisfy a later command using the same function.
Give the RPC sequence its own counter, separate from the per-element
transport sequence, set it on every command, and require both the
function and the sequence to match before accepting a reply. A message
with the expected function but a stale sequence is logged and dropped,
not mistaken for the reply or dispatched as an event. A caller awaiting
an unsolicited event still matches on the function alone.
