  5. The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of
  6. the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone
  7. multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure
  8. processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure
  9. Packet DMA.
  10. The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
  11. management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or
  12. reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs
  13. perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management.
  14. Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in
  15. descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.
  16. The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions,
  17. queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor
  18. pool management.
  19. knav qmss driver provides a set of APIs to drivers to open/close qmss queues,
  20. allocate descriptor pools, map the descriptors, push/pop to queues etc. For
  21. details of the available APIs, please refers to include/linux/soc/ti/knav_qmss.h
  22. DT documentation is available at
  23. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/ti/keystone-navigator-qmss.txt
  24. Accumulator QMSS queues using PDSP firmware
  25. ============================================
  26. The QMSS PDSP firmware support accumulator channel that can monitor a single
  27. queue or multiple contiguous queues. drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss_acc.c is the
  28. driver that interface with the accumulator PDSP. This configures
  29. accumulator channels defined in DTS (example in DT documentation) to monitor
  30. 1 or 32 queues per channel. More description on the firmware is available in
  31. CPPI/QMSS Low Level Driver document (docs/CPPI_QMSS_LLD_SDS.pdf) at
  32. git://git.ti.com/keystone-rtos/qmss-lld.git
  33. k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin firmware supports upto 48 accumulator
  34. channels. This firmware is available under ti-keystone folder of
  35. firmware.git at
  36. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
  37. To use copy the firmware image to lib/firmware folder of the initramfs or
  38. ubifs file system and provide a sym link to k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin
  39. in the file system and boot up the kernel. User would see
  40. "firmware file ks2_qmss_pdsp_acc48.bin downloaded for PDSP"
  41. in the boot up log if loading of firmware to PDSP is successful.
  42. Use of accumulated queues requires the firmware image to be present in the
  43. file system. The driver doesn't acc queues to the supported queue range if
  44. PDSP is not running in the SoC. The API call fails if there is a queue open
  45. request to an acc queue and PDSP is not running. So make sure to copy firmware
  46. to file system before using these queue types.
