Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] gpu: nova-core: move GSP boot code to a dedicated method
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2025 23:06:38 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909-nova_firmware-v4-2-4dcb433d5fee@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250909-nova_firmware-v4-0-4dcb433d5fee@nvidia.com>
Right now the GSP boot code is very incomplete and limited to running
FRTS, so having it in `Gpu::new` is not a big constraint.
However, this will change as we add more steps of the GSP boot process,
and not all GPU families follow the same procedure, so having these
steps in a dedicated method is the logical construct.
Relatedly, booting the GSP typically happens only once in the GPU reset
cycle. Most of the data created to complete this step (notably firmware
loaded from user-space) is needed only temporarily and can be discarded
once the GSP is booted; it then makes all the more sense to store these
as local variables of a dedicated method , instead of inside the `Gpu`
structure where they as kept as long as the GPU is bound, using dozens
of megabytes of host memory.
Thus, introduce a `start_gsp` static method on the `Gpu` struct, which
is called by `Gpu::new` to initialize the GSP and obtain its runtime
data. The GSP runtime data is currently an empty placeholder, but this
will change in a subsequent patch.
