Subject: [PATCH 12/27] gpu: nova-core: gsp: add msgq v2 internals
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:52:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819035221.336390-13-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819035221.336390-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
Msgq v2 moves the four ring pointers out of shared memory into BAR0
registers and treats them as monotonic counters, so head == tail
distinguishes empty from full and the ring uses every slot. The pointers
can also be out of step, because a GSP reset zeroes them while the ring
keeps its contents.
Add the v2 TX header and the v2 ring helpers in parallel to the v0 ones,
so the flip commit can swap call sites without writing new logic. Read
the queue as empty while the read pointer is ahead of the write pointer,
rather than taking the difference as a page count.

+// Msgq v2 keeps the four ring pointers in BAR0 registers as monotonic `u32`
+// counters that wrap on overflow. The slot index is `ptr % MSGQ_NUM_PAGES`
+// only at the point of use, and the ring uses every slot (no "leave one
+// empty" rule, since `head == tail` distinguishes empty from full).
+//
+// Register-to-role mapping for queue 0:
+//
+// CPU TX write/doorbell: NV_PGSP_QUEUE_HEAD
+// GSP TX read: NV_PGSP_QUEUE_TAIL
+// GSP RX write: NV_PGSP_MSGQ_HEAD
+// CPU RX read: NV_PGSP_MSGQ_TAIL
+//
+// A GSP reset zeroes all four counters while the in-memory ring keeps its
+// contents, so the two ends can be out of step. Between the reset and
+// GSP-RM writing its counter back the read pointer is ahead of the write
+// pointer, which `driver_read_area_v2` reports as an empty ring.
+//
+// TODO: suspend/resume reset-recovery is not implemented. A power cycle
+// loses the driver-side counters as well, so both ends have to be
+// re-established.
