[PATCH v2 2/2] vfio/nvgrace-gpu: Drop the usemem length check in open_device
From: Andrea Parri
Date: Thu Oct 15 2026 - 04:25:51 EST
nvgrace_gpu_open_device() sets up the fake BAR registers and remap_lock
only when usemem.memlength is nonzero. The check exists for fallback
mode, which used to share this open path. Fallback mode now has its own
open_device, so only devices with ACPI memory properties reach this one.
For those devices usemem.memlength is never zero: an empty region from
nvgrace_gpu_fetch_memory_property() selects fallback mode, and probe
fails when nvgrace_gpu_init_nvdev_struct() rounds usemem down to
nothing. Do the setup unconditionally.
