Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] gpu: nova-core: gsp: fix improper handling of empty slot in cmdq
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:12:40 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123-nova-core-cmdq1-v2-3-e797ec1b714c@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260123-nova-core-cmdq1-v2-0-e797ec1b714c@nvidia.com>
The current code hands out buffers that go all the way up to and
including `rx - 1`, but we need to maintain an empty slot to prevent the
ring buffer from wrapping around into having 'tx == rx', which means
empty.
Also add more rigorous no-panic proofs.
Fixes: 75f6b1de8133 ("gpu: nova-core: gsp: Add GSP command queue bindings and handling")
