The RPC path could never work; PBA writes even corrupted the host GPU's physical BAR0+0x3000. gsp_emu_init now binds exclusively to bar0_shadow (doorbell/mailbox/PBA aliases; shared_mem_dma==0 marks the alias so cleanup never dma_free's it). - main.c SET_IRQS: DATA_EVENTFD eventfds were DISCARDED ('TODO' + kfree) - the guest never received MSI-X completions. Full wiring now: eventfd_ctx_fdget per vector, fd -1 clears, dev_close releases refs. gsp_emu_inject_completion_interrupt looks up vgpu->irqs[0].trigger LIVE (init-time copy was permanently NULL since QEMU wires after gsp_emu_init). - gsp_rpc_client.c: BAR_TRAP/MIGRATE in emulation mode called gsp_rpc_submit_raw which rings the SAME doorbell the thread polls - self-triggered RPC livelock + multi-second stalls. Now fail fast with -ENOTSUPP + pr_warn_ratelimited (guest BAR access is direct MMIO). MORE FIXES: - main.c: nv_vgpu_config_write returned SIZE_MAX (while(count--) wrap) and was dead code while the VFIO write handler did unfiltered byte copies (guest could rewrite vendor ID/BARs). Return fixed; VFIO write handler now routes through the per-register filter. - kernel/Makefile: M=$(PWD) used the env var which is stale when invoked via the top-level make (pointed at repo root -> kbuild silently built NOTHING; explains every 'stale .ko' incident). Now M=$(CURDIR). - Warnings sweep: header prototypes for mdev/type functions, format casts in gsp_comm.c DRY-RUN logs, unused variable. ROBUSTNESS (harness/tooling): - vgpu_vm.py: run had no timeout (start could block forever); guest_shell recv could block forever on a wedged guest. Both now bounded; guest_shell pre-flights guest-ping and reports wedge diagnostics. - stack_manager.sh: qemu/qemu-debug now launch via the vgpu_vm.py harness (workflow rule: never raw QEMU). REPO REORGANIZATION: - driver/ (legacy guest-side gsp-vgpu.ko) moved to legacy-driver-guest/ (reference only, not built; README explains). 3 legacy un-buildable test files moved to legacy-driver-guest/kernel-tests/. Top-level Makefile cleaned of the dead DRIVER_DIR reference. DOCUMENTATION SUITE (new): - docs/GSP_EMULATION_ARCHITECTURE.md - emulator deep-dive: shadow BAR0 model, doorbell protocol, dispatch table, MSI-X path, lifecycle, memory- model caveats - docs/DEBUGGING.md - QEMU GDB stub workflow, serial console, QMP NMI, failure taxonomy, full bring-up validation checklist, EPT-livelock case study, version-matrix discipline - docs/ONBOARDING.md - repo tour, coding standards (incl. virt_to_phys / dma_addr_t / get-put rules), first build & test - docs/VERSION_UPGRADE.md - end-to-end new-driver-version procedure (firmware fetch, Ghidra analysis, configs, signatures, validation) - docs/PERFORMANCE.md - bare-metal A/B methodology + targets - README.md doc index; STATE.md refreshed; DEVELOPMENT_WORKFLOW.md corrected (load order: open-iov-vfio BEFORE nvidia; stock-driver blacklist note)
