Subject: [PATCH v13 1/2] rust: gpu: Add GPU buddy allocator bindings
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 18:03:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317220323.1909618-2-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317220323.1909618-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Add safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The GPU buddy allocator
implements a binary buddy system useful for GPU physical memory
allocation. nova-core will use it for physical memory allocation.

+//! GPU buddy allocator bindings.
+//!
+//! C header: [`include/linux/gpu_buddy.h`](srctree/include/linux/gpu_buddy.h)
+//!
+//! This module provides Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
+//! allocator, which implements a binary buddy memory allocator.
+//!
+//! The buddy allocator manages a contiguous address space and allocates blocks
+//! in power-of-two sizes, useful for GPU physical memory management.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! Create a buddy allocator and perform a basic range allocation:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use kernel::{
+//! gpu::buddy::{
+//! GpuBuddy,
+//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags,
+//! GpuBuddyAllocMode,
+//! GpuBuddyParams, //
+//! },
+//! prelude::*,
+//! ptr::Alignment,
+//! sizes::*, //
+//! };
+//!
+//! // Create a 1GB buddy allocator with 4KB minimum chunk size.
+//! let buddy = GpuBuddy::new(GpuBuddyParams {
+//! base_offset: 0,
+//! physical_memory_size: SZ_1G as u64,
+//! chunk_size: Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>(),
+//! })?;
+//!
+//! assert_eq!(buddy.size(), SZ_1G as u64);
+//! assert_eq!(buddy.chunk_size(), Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>());
+//! let initial_free = buddy.free_memory();
+//!
+//! // Allocate 16MB. Block lands at the top of the address range.
+//! let allocated = KBox::pin_init(
+//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
+//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::Simple,
+//! SZ_16M as u64,
+//! Alignment::new::<SZ_16M>(),
+//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
+//! ),
+//! GFP_KERNEL,
+//! )?;
+//! assert_eq!(buddy.free_memory(), initial_free - SZ_16M as u64);
+//!
+//! let block = allocated.iter().next().expect("expected one block");
+//! assert_eq!(block.offset(), (SZ_1G - SZ_16M) as u64);
+//! assert_eq!(block.order(), 12); // 2^12 pages = 16MB
+//! assert_eq!(block.size(), SZ_16M as u64);
+//! assert_eq!(allocated.iter().count(), 1);
+//!
+//! // Dropping the allocation returns the range to the buddy allocator.
+//! drop(allocated);
+//! assert_eq!(buddy.free_memory(), initial_free);
+//! # Ok::<(), Error>(())
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Top-down allocation allocates from the highest addresses:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use kernel::{
+//! # gpu::buddy::{GpuBuddy, GpuBuddyAllocMode, GpuBuddyAllocFlags, GpuBuddyParams},
+//! # prelude::*,
+//! # ptr::Alignment,

+//! # };
+//! # let buddy = GpuBuddy::new(GpuBuddyParams {
+//! # base_offset: 0,
+//! # physical_memory_size: SZ_1G as u64,
+//! # chunk_size: Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>(),
+//! # })?;
+//! # let initial_free = buddy.free_memory();
+//! let topdown = KBox::pin_init(
+//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
+//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::TopDown,
+//! SZ_16M as u64,
+//! Alignment::new::<SZ_16M>(),
+//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
+//! ),
+//! GFP_KERNEL,
+//! )?;
+//! assert_eq!(buddy.free_memory(), initial_free - SZ_16M as u64);
+//!
+//! let block = topdown.iter().next().expect("expected one block");
+//! assert_eq!(block.offset(), (SZ_1G - SZ_16M) as u64);
+//! assert_eq!(block.order(), 12);
+//! assert_eq!(block.size(), SZ_16M as u64);
+//!
+//! // Dropping the allocation returns the range to the buddy allocator.
+//! drop(topdown);
+//! assert_eq!(buddy.free_memory(), initial_free);
+//! # Ok::<(), Error>(())
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Non-contiguous allocation can fill fragmented memory by returning multiple
+//! blocks:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use kernel::{

+//! # })?;
+//! # let initial_free = buddy.free_memory();
+//! // Create fragmentation by allocating 4MB blocks at [0,4M) and [8M,12M).
