Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/4] gpu: nova-core: gsp: derive zerocopy traits for the msgq POD types
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 17:10:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628-dma-zerocopy-bridge-v1-3-9a2895ebe30d@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260628-dma-zerocopy-bridge-v1-0-9a2895ebe30d@gmail.com>

From: SeungJong Ha <engineer.jjhama@gmail.com>

Replace the hand-audited `unsafe impl transmute::{AsBytes, FromBytes}` on
the msgq header newtypes (`MsgqTxHeader`/`MsgqRxHeader`), `PteArray` and
the generated bindings (`msgqTxHeader`/`msgqRxHeader`) with `zerocopy`
derives. These are padding-free PODs, so the derive applies directly.

The bindings derives are hand-added for the demo; canonically they come
from bindgen's `--with-derive-custom-struct`.
