[PATCH v3 0/8] gpu: nova-core: boot GSP with vGPU enabled

From: Zhi Wang

Date: Wed Jul 01 2026 - 02:29:27 EST


Booting up 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 GSP boot process
consolidation series [4].

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that are already in drm-rust-next or superseded by the prerequisite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.
