Subject: [PATCH v5 00/11] gpu: nova: Export parameters from nova-core to nova-drm
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:35:20 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828033531.1117754-1-apopple@nvidia.com> (raw)
This patch series adds some basic GPU properties via a new GPU info
ioctl. It builds on top of the "drm: Higher-Ranked Lifetime private data"
series[1] to correctly manage lifetimes of registration data shared between
DRM, auxbus and nova-core. It's also based on top of "ForLt/CovariantForLt
split, auxiliary closure API and DevresLt"[2]
A tree with this series applied on top of all pre-requisites is available
at [3].
Properties are exported via a new NovaCoreApi type which implements methods
to read data from the GPU. This has been implemented in a separate module
to make the public API implementations obvious and to keep them in one
place. Auxiliary bus drivers can obtain a handle to this type using
NovaCoreApi::of().
This handle can then be stored as part of the DRM registration data and
used to interact with the GPU via the nova-core driver.
A new info ioctl is introduced which provides an info type field and a
method for reading extendable structs containing GPU information. This
series can be tested using the drm-test[4]. A pull request containing
updated tests will be raised once this has been posted. A pull request for
Mesa has also been raised but is out of date. That will be updated once
this series has been merged.
Changes since v4:
- No longer export chip-id, instead export architecture and implementation
- Add a separate info ioctl with types to read GPU info as suggested by
Danilo
Changes since v3:
- Use an ioctl to return all parameters rather than multiple key/value
queries
Changes since v2:
- Addressed review Danilo and Alex
- Minor renames to better align with HW based on internal feedback
Changes since v1:
- Address review comments from Danilo
- Add an API call to read VRAM PCI BAR size using nova-core
