Subject: [PATCH 12/17] gpu: nova-core: recover the GSP receive path from corrupt framing
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 20:11:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808031120.363869-13-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260808031120.363869-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
A GSP message carries its length inside the checksummed region, so once
the framing or the checksum fails, the length cannot be trusted to skip
the message.
Two paths left a bad message at the queue head. A framing or checksum
failure returned without advancing the read pointer, so every later
receive re-parsed the same message. A validly framed message whose typed
payload failed to decode returned early and did the same.
Poison the queue on a framing or checksum failure, and fail every later
receive, so the bad head is parsed once and recovery requires a reset.
Advance the read pointer past a validly framed message whether or not
its payload decodes.
