Subject: [PATCH 13/17] gpu: nova-core: bound a GSP wait by a single deadline
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 20:11:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808031120.363869-14-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260808031120.363869-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>

The GSP posts unsolicited events on the same queue it posts replies on,
so a caller waiting for one message dispatches whatever else arrives
first and reads again.

Each of those reads started a fresh five-second timeout, so a steady
stream of events extended the wait without bound.

Compute one absolute deadline when the wait begins and pass the time
remaining to each read, so the whole wait is bounded however many events
arrive first.

GSP boot waits for two unsolicited events. Move that loop into a helper
so both take the same bound.
