Subject: [RFC 3/3] drm: nova: Add a GETPARAM parameter to read usable VRAM size
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 16:45:26 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703064526.3630668-4-apopple@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703064526.3630668-1-apopple@nvidia.com>
Add a GET_PARAM ioctl to return the total usable framebuffer size. The
usable framebuffer excludes GSP carveouts and other protected regions so
may differ in size from BAR size and total physical VRAM.
