[PATCH v1 11/16] gpu: nova-core: mm: Add Virtual Memory Manager
From: Joel Fernandes
Date: Mon May 18 2026 - 14:28:44 EST
Add the Virtual Memory Manager (VMM) infrastructure for GPU address
space management. Each Vmm instance manages a single address space
identified by its Page Directory Base (PDB) address, used for Channel,
BAR1 and BAR2 mappings.
Mapping APIs and virtual address range tracking are added in later
commits.
