[PATCH v2 0/9] gpu: nova-core: gsp: add continuation record support
From: Eliot Courtney
Date: Thu Feb 19 2026 - 02:32:25 EST
GSP commands over 16 pages need to be sent using "continuation records"
which essentially means splitting the payload over multiple commands.
This series adds a command type `ContinuationRecord` which just writes
its header and whatever payload it is given. It also adds types
`SplitState` and `SplitCommand` which support splitting a large RPC
into smaller ones while transparently letting regular sized RPCs be sent
without extra copies.
The send pathway uses `SplitState` to send all commands, but if
the command fits into 16 pages, it still writes directly into the
command queue. If it is larger than 16 pages and needs continuation
records, it writes into a staging buffer, so there is one copy.

Changes in v2:
- Added doccoments
- Renamed driver_bytes_available_to_write to driver_write_area_size
- allocate_command_with_timeout merged allocate_command with timeout parameter
- Replaced hardcoded GSP_PAGE_SIZE * 16 with bindings
- Changed oversized command error from EIO to EMSGSIZE
- Added EMSGSIZE to kernel/error.rs
- Split WrappingCommand functionality into SplitState + SplitCommand enum
- Made max_size a const (MAX_CMD_SIZE)
- Removed send_continuation_record + added comment for type inference
- send_single_command now consumes the command
- Extracted command_size + used in SplitState
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260212-cmdq-continuation-v1-0-73079ded55e6@xxxxxxxxxx
