* kernel: coherent GSP-RM replies for engine-context creationArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - GSP_RM_ALLOC: echo the request payload back with status forced to NV_OK. The kernel driver copies the reply params over the caller's params buffer using the class-expected size, so a zeroed reply smashed libcuda's stack (SIGSEGV at the engine-registration continuation); echoing makes the copy-back idempotent. - CE_GET_PHYSICAL_CAPS / CE_GET_ALL(_PHYSICAL)_CAPS: report sysmem, P2P and BL copy caps and mark the GR-synchronous CE (GRCE, COPY0). Without a GRCE the client's context walk ends with an empty secondary-engine record and the engine RM alloc is issued with class 0 (rejected -> cuCtxCreate fails). - TU104 engine table: CE0 shares the GR PBDMA ids (the driver's GR/GRCE runqueue validation requires it), plus an entry for the async copy engine (COPY14) advertised in the GSP static info engine caps. - tools/guest-diag/ioctl_trace: decode the RM status fields of alloc, control and free so the first failing driver call is visible in traces. gitignore: keep the CUDA analysis scratch tree (incl. WORKING-HERE.md) local.
* Open-IOV: initial public releaseOpen-IOV2026-09-23
Open-IOV virtualizes NVIDIA GPUs so that unmodified guest drivers run with real GPU functionality - CUDA first, 3D and video to follow - on unmodified hosts, without a proprietary vGPU license and without patching any driver, firmware or hypervisor. Core principle: emulate the interface, pass through the work. kernel/ open-iov-vfio.ko - host VFIO mdev driver: virtual GPU device (PCI config space, BAR shadows, MSI-X), GSP boot emulation, GSP-RM message-queue/RPC emulation, memory model (GPU-VA to guest-PA discovery) and the semaphore-completion service that advances guest UVM progress. userspace/ libiov.so management API and examples. tools/ guest diagnostics, firmware analysis wrappers, RM probes. scripts/ stack manager, VM harness, build/load/test automation. config/ hardware/version profiles (the portability surface). docs/ documentation tree - start at docs/README.md. wiki/ long-form firmware and protocol deep dives. Status: initialization works end to end for a stock 570.144 Linux guest on Turing (TU104): driver probe, nvidia-smi, the full GSP-RM control battery, object creation and the early CUDA/UVM start-up path. GPU work forwarding - the step that makes CUDA kernels execute on real hardware - is the active work item; see docs/04-implementation/01-known-knowns-and-unknowns.md.
