Subject: [PATCH v2 00/17] net: introduce Qualcomm IPA driver
This series presents the driver for the Qualcomm IP Accelerator (IPA).
This is version 2 of the series. This version has addressed almost
all of the feedback received in the first version:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190512012508.10608-1-elder@linaro.org/
More detail is included in the individual patches, but here is a
high-level summary of what's changed since then:
- Two spinlocks have been removed.
- The code for enabling and disabling endpoint interrupts has
been simplified considerably, and the spinlock is no longer
required
- A spinlock used when updating ring buffer pointers is no
longer needed. Integers indexing the ring are used instead
(and they don't even have to be atomic).
- One spinlock remains to protect list updates, but it is always
acquired using spin_lock_bh() (no more irqsave).
- Information about the queueing and completion of messages is now
supplied to the network stack in batches rather than one at a
time.
- I/O completion handling has been simplified, with the IRQ
handler now consisting mainly of disabling the interrupt and
calling napi_schedule().
- Some comments have been updated and improved througout.
What follows is the introduction supplied with v1 of the series.
-----
The IPA is a component present in some Qualcomm SoCs that allows
network functions such as aggregation, filtering, routing, and NAT
to be performed without active involvement of the main application
processor (AP).
Initially, these advanced features are disabled; the IPA driver
simply provides a network interface that makes the modem's LTE
network available to the AP. In addition, only support for the
IPA found in the Qualcomm SDM845 SoC is provided.
This code is derived from a driver developed internally by Qualcomm.
A version of the original source can be seen here:
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.9/tree
in the "drivers/platform/msm/ipa" directory. Many were involved in
developing this, but the following individuals deserve explicit
acknowledgement for their substantial contributions:
Abhishek Choubey
Ady Abraham
Chaitanya Pratapa
David Arinzon
Ghanim Fodi
Gidon Studinski
Ravi Gummadidala
Shihuan Liu
Skylar Chang
A version of this code was posted in November 2018 as an RFC.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181107003250.5832-1-elder@linaro.org/
All feedback received was addressed. The code has undergone
considerable further rework since that time, and most of the
"future work" described then has now been completed.
This code is available in buildable form here, based on kernel
v5.2-rc1:
remote: ssh://git@....linaro.org/people/alex.elder/linux.git
branch: ipa-v2_kernel-v5.2-rc2
75adf2ac1266 arm64: defconfig: enable build of IPA code
The branch depends on a commit now found in in net-next. It has
been cherry-picked, and (in this branch) has this commit ID:
