[PATCH v4 0/6] gpu: nova-core: boot GSP with vGPU enabled
From: Zhi Wang
Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 11:16:24 EST
Booting GSP with vGPU enabled is part of the first milestone (M1)
together with the Rust fwctl abstraction [1] and the nova-core fwctl
driver [2] for upstream vGPU support. It allows us to validate the basic
GSP boot flow with vGPU enabled and upload vGPU types even before the
remaining nova-core dependencies are ready. The nova-vGPU WIP patches
for all milestones can be found at [3].
This version is based on drm-rust-next plus Alexandre's v6 GSP boot
process consolidation series [4]. The FSP response header rename and
dynamic SetRegistry conversion from v3 have since been pushed to
drm-rust-next, so this series now contains six patches.
Changes in v4:
- Rebase on the latest drm-rust-next and Alexandre's v6 GSP boot process
consolidation series.
- Add a conditional C helper for pci_sriov_get_totalvfs() so the Rust
abstraction also builds when CONFIG_PCI_IOV is disabled.
- Return Option<NonZero<u16>> from the Rust SR-IOV helper so callers must
handle the unavailable-SR-IOV case explicitly.
- Derive Debug for VgpuState and log the complete state when
VgpuManager is constructed.
- Warn and fall back to VgpuState::Disabled when the optional vGPU state
cannot be detected, so a detection failure does not prevent a
bare-metal probe.
- Document vGPU state detection, split the vGPU HAL implementations into
per-chip modules, and call the HAL method directly through the exposed
trait and selector.
v3:
- Split the FSP response header rename from the FSP PRC vGPU mode query
into a separate patch.
- Change pci_sriov_get_totalvfs() to return unsigned int on the C side
while keeping the Rust helper as u16.
- Move the vGPU capability gate into a dedicated vgpu::hal module.
- Represent detected vGPU state as VgpuState instead of separate
enabled/total_vfs accessors.
- Keep total_vfs values below 2 on the disabled path, with an explicit
comment for the current single-VF limitation.
- Use the generated 570.144 GSP_FW_HEAP_SIZE_VGPU_DEFAULT binding for
vGPU WPR2 heap sizing, and keep unsupported 0/1-VF states out of the
vGPU heap path through VgpuState.
v2:
- Rebase on top of Alexandre's GSP boot process consolidation series.
- Drop the FSP response, FSP documentation, and GspBootContext patches
that are already in drm-rust-next or superseded by the prerequisite
boot consolidation series.
- Change pci_sriov_get_totalvfs() to return u16 and update existing C
callers accordingly.
- Make the Rust sriov_get_totalvfs() helper return u16 directly.
- Rework the FSP PRC vGPU mode query to use typed subcommand, object ID,
flags, request, and response structures.
- Move vGPU state detection before GSP boot into a read-only VgpuManager,
avoiding Mutex/Cell based mutation during boot.
- Add a HAL method for the vGPU capability gate.
- Split the SetRegistry changes into a dynamic-entry refactor and the
RMSetSriovMode functional change.
- Rework WPR2 heap sizing to consume VgpuManager, keep the vGPU heap-size
helper in gsp/fw.rs, and drop the 1VM heap-size special case.
