Subject: [PATCH v5 2/9] gpu: nova-core: gsp: add mechanism to wait for space on command queue
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 10:42:18 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304-cmdq-continuation-v5-2-3f19d759ed93@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304-cmdq-continuation-v5-0-3f19d759ed93@nvidia.com>
Add a timeout to `allocate_command` which waits for space on the GSP
command queue. It uses a similar timeout to nouveau.
This lets `send_command` wait for space to free up in the command queue.
This is required to support continuation records which can fill up the
queue.
