Subject: [PATCH v2] gpu: nova-core: fix aux device registration for multi-GPU systems
Date: Thu,  5 Feb 2026 14:17:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205221758.219192-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)

The auxiliary device registration was using a hardcoded ID of 0, which
caused probe() to fail on multi-GPU systems with:

   sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/auxiliary/devices/NovaCore.nova-drm.0'

Fix this by using an LKMM atomic counter to generate unique IDs for each
GPU's aux device registration. The TODO item to eventually use XArray
for recycling aux device IDs is retained (and modified slightly: IDA
might be better) but for now, this works very nicely.

This has the side effect of making debugfs[1] work on multi-GPU systems.

Changes in v2:

* Use LKMM atomics (kernel::sync::atomic::Atomic<u32>) instead of Rust
  standard library atomics (core::sync::atomic::AtomicU32).

* Fix vertical import formatting (add rustfmt guard comment).

* Remove stray "we" from TODO comment.
