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. /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
