[PATCH 00/16] gpu: nova-core: GPU page table, vmm, and bar1 mapping

From: Eliot Courtney

Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 00:00:12 EST


I am reposting Joel Fernandes's original series [1]. The rebase adapts
the patches to recent changes in the rust infra, like HRT lifetimes. It
also adapts to the changes I posted in [2]. It keeps Joel's design and
patch split.

>From Joel's original cover letter:

This series introduces page-table types and a Virtual Memory Manager (VMM)
for the nova-core driver, plus a BAR1 user (with selftests) layered on top.
The page-table layer uses trait-based generics (PteOps, PdeOps, DualPdeOps,
MmuConfig) to dispatch between MMU v2 and v3 formats. The Vmm tracks
virtual-address ranges with a maple tree, and the BAR1 user exposes mapped
CPU access to VRAM through a small allocation API exercised by the selftests.

This series depends on Joel's maple tree Send and Sync patch [3] and his
PCI resource_flags() accessor [4], which I am reposting separately.

This series is based on drm-rust-next.
