Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] gpu: nova-core: fix stack overflow in GSP memory allocation
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:34:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309-drm-rust-next-v4-4-4ef485b19a4c@proton.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309-drm-rust-next-v4-0-4ef485b19a4c@proton.me>

From: Tim Kovalenko <tim.kovalenko@proton.me>

The `Cmdq::new` function was allocating a `PteArray` struct on the stack
and was causing a stack overflow with 8216 bytes.

Modify the `PteArray` to calculate and write the Page Table Entries
directly into the coherent DMA buffer one-by-one. This reduces the stack
usage quite a lot.

Signed-off-by: Tim Kovalenko <tim.kovalenko@proton.me>
