DESCRIPTION

       The  transmit  scheduling  element  (SE)  is  scheduling the transmission for of all nodes
       connected it.  By configuring the SE, QoS policies may be enforced between  the  competing
       entities (e.g. SQ, QP).

       In each scheduling cycle, the SE schedules all ready-to-transmit entities.  The SE assures
       that weight for each entity is met.  If entity has reached its maximum  allowed  bandwidth
       within  the scheduling cycle, it won’t be scheduled till end of the scheduling cycle.  The
       unused transmission bandwidth will be distributed among the  remaining  entities  assuring
       the weight setting.

       The  SEs  are  connected  in a tree structure.  The entity is connected to a leaf.  One or
       more leaves can be connected to a SE node.  One or more SE nodes can be connected to a  SE
       node,  until  reaching  the  SE  root.   For  each input on each node, user can assign the
       maximum bandwidth and the scheduling weight.

       The SE APIs (mlx5dv_sched_*) allows access by verbs application to set the hierarchical SE
       tree to the device.  The ibv_qp shall be connected to a leaf.

ARGUMENTS

       Please see ibv_create_qp_ex(3) man page for context.

   mlx5dv_sched_attr
              struct mlx5dv_sched_attr {
                  struct mlx5dv_sched_node *parent;
                  uint32_t flags;
                  uint32_t bw_share;
                  uint32_t max_avg_bw;
                  uint64_t comp_mask;
              };

       parent A  node handler to the parent scheduling element which this scheduling element will
              be connected to.  The root scheduling element doesn’t have a parent.

       flags  Specifying what attributes in the structure are valid:

              MLX5DV_SCHED_ELEM_ATTR_FLAGS_BW_SHARE for bw_share

              MLX5DV_SCHED_ELEM_ATTR_FLAGS_MAX_AVG_BW for max_avg_bw

       bw_share
              The relative bandwidth share allocated for this element.  This field has no  units.
              The  bandwidth is shared between all elements connected to the same parent element,
              relatively to their bw_share.  Value of 0, indicates a device default Weight.  This
              field must be 0 for the root TSAR.

       max_avg_bw
              The  maximal  transmission rate allowed for the element, averaged over time.  Value
              is given in units of 1 Mbit/sec. Value 0x0 indicates the rate is  unlimited.   This
              field must be 0 for the root TSAR.

       comp_mask
              Reserved for future extension, must be 0 now.

       node/leaf
              For modify, destroy: the scheduling element to work on.

       sched_attr
              For create, modify: the attribute of the scheduling element to work on.

NOTES

       For example if an application wants to create 2 QoS QP groups:

              g1: 70% bandwidth share of this application
              g2: 30% bandwidth share of this application, with maximum average bandwidth limited to 4Gbps

       Pseudo code:

              struct mlx5dv_sched_node *root;
              struct mlx5dv_sched_leaf *leaf_g1, *leaf_g2;
              struct mlx5dv_sched_attr;
              struct ibv_qp *qp1, qp2;

              /* Create root node */
              attr.comp_mask = 0;
              attr.parent = NULL;
              attr.flags = 0;
              root = mlx5dv_sched_node_create(context, attr);

              /* Create group1 */
              attr.comp_mask = 0;
              attr.parent = root;
              attr.bw_share = 7;
              attr.flags = MLX5DV_SCHED_ELEM_ATTR_FLAGS_BW_SHARE;
              leaf_g1 = mlx5dv_sched_leaf_create(context, attr);

              /* Create group2 */
              attr.comp_mask = 0;
              attr.parent = root;
              attr.bw_share = 3;
              attr.max_avg_bw = 4096;
              attr.flags = MLX5DV_SCHED_ELEM_ATTR_FLAGS_BW_SHARE | MLX5DV_SCHED_ELEM_ATTR_FLAGS_MAX_AVG_BW;
              leaf_g2 = mlx5dv_sched_leaf_create(context, attr);

              foreach (qp1 in group1)
                  mlx5dv_modify_qp_sched_elem(qp1, leaf_g1, NULL);

              foreach (qp2 in group2)
                  mlx5dv_modify_qp_sched_elem(qp2, leaf_g2, NULL);

RETURN VALUE

       Upon    success    *mlx5dv_sched_node[/leaf]_create()*    will   return   a   new   struct
       mlx5dv_sched_node[/leaf], on error NULL will be returned and errno will be set.

       Upon success modify and destroy, 0 is returned or the value of errno on a failure.
