Subject: [PATCH v2 06/31] gpu: nova-core: zero-pad radix3 page table levels to page boundary
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 18:54:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822015448.238214-7-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260822015448.238214-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
GSP-RM allocates the whole radix3 page table region in one block and
zeroes it before writing entries. The booter reads each level a full
page at a time when it walks the table, so every byte of a level page is
firmware-visible whether or not it holds a valid entry.
The driver allocates each level separately and writes only the valid
entries, so the last page of each level is only partly written. The
booter reads the whole page regardless, and a non-zero word in the
unwritten remainder is indistinguishable from an entry.
Allocate each level zeroed, sized to a whole number of GSP pages, and
write the entries into it.
