DPPA2(Data Path Acceleration Architecture 2) qDMA supports virtualized channel by allowing DMA jobs to be enqueued into different work queues. Core can initiate a DMA transaction by preparing a frame descriptor(FD) for each DMA job and enqueuing this job through a hardware portal. DPAA2 components can also prepare a FD and enqueue a DMA job through a hardware portal. The qDMA prefetches DMA jobs through DPAA2 hardware portal. It then schedules and dispatches to internal DMA hardware engines, which generate read and write requests. Both qDMA source data and destination data can be either contiguous or non-contiguous using one or more scatter/gather tables. The qDMA supports global bandwidth flow control where all DMA transactions are stalled if the bandwidth threshold has been reached. Also supported are transaction based read throttling. Add NXP dppa2 qDMA to support some of Layerscape SoCs. such as: LS1088A, LS208xA, LX2, etc. Signed-off-by: Peng Ma <peng.ma@nxp.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190930020440.7754-2-peng.ma@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vkoul@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
