QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure +processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure +Packet DMA. +The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating +management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or +reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs +perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management. +Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in +descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory. +The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions, +queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor +pool management. + +knav qmss driver provides a set of APIs to drivers to open/close qmss queues, +allocate descriptor pools, map the descriptors, push/pop to queues etc. For +details of the available APIs, please refers to include/linux/soc/ti/knav_qmss.h + +DT documentation is available at +Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/ti/keystone-navigator-qmss.txt + +Accumulator QMSS queues using PDSP firmware +============================================ +The QMSS PDSP firmware support accumulator channel that can monitor a single +queue or multiple contiguous queues. drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss_acc.c is the +driver that interface with the accumulator PDSP. This configures +accumulator channels defined in DTS (example in DT documentation) to monitor +1 or 32 queues per channel. More description on the firmware is available in +CPPI/QMSS Low Level Driver document (docs/CPPI_QMSS_LLD_SDS.pdf) at + git://git.ti.com/keystone-rtos/qmss-lld.git + +k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin firmware supports upto 48 accumulator +channels. This firmware is available under ti-keystone folder of +firmware.git at + git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git + +To use copy the firmware image to lib/firmware folder of the initramfs or +ubifs file system and provide a sym link to k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin +in the file system and boot up the kernel. User would see + + "firmware file ks2_qmss_pdsp_acc48.bin downloaded for PDSP" + +in the boot up log if loading of firmware to PDSP is successful. + +Use of accumulated queues requires the firmware image to be present in the +file system. The driver doesn't acc queues to the supported queue range if +PDSP is not running in the SoC. The API call fails if there is a queue open +request to an acc queue and PDSP is not running. So make sure to copy firmware +to file system before using these queue types. |
