Subject: [PATCH RFC 02/18] accel/qda: Add Qualcomm DSP accelerator driver skeleton
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:38:56 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224-qda-firstpost-v1-2-fe46a9c1a046@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224-qda-firstpost-v1-0-fe46a9c1a046@oss.qualcomm.com>
This patch introduces the initial scaffolding for the Qualcomm DSP
accelerator (QDA) driver under drivers/accel/.
The new Kconfig option DRM_ACCEL_QDA integrates the driver with the
DRM/accel subsystem, and the accel Makefile is updated to build the
driver as a loadable module. A minimal qda_drv.c file is added to
provide basic module_init/module_exit hooks so that the driver can be
built and loaded.
Subsequent patches will add:
- RPMSG-based communication with Qualcomm Hexagon DSPs
- FastRPC integration for userspace offload
- DMA-BUF support and memory management
- GEM, PRIME and IOCTL interfaces for compute job submission
This patch only wires up the basic driver framework and does not yet
provide functional DSP offload capabilities.

+ Enables the DRM-based accelerator driver for Qualcomm's Hexagon DSPs.
+ This driver provides a standardized interface for offloading computational
+ tasks to the DSP, including audio processing, sensor offload, computer
+ vision, and AI inference workloads.
+
+ The driver supports all DSP domains (ADSP, CDSP, SDSP, GDSP) and
+ implements the FastRPC protocol for communication between the application
+ processor and DSP. It integrates with the Linux kernel's Compute
+ Accelerators subsystem (drivers/accel/) and provides a modern alternative
+ to the legacy FastRPC driver found in drivers/misc/.
+
+ Key features include DMA-BUF interoperability for seamless buffer sharing
+ with other multimedia subsystems, IOMMU-based memory isolation, and
+ standard DRM IOCTLs for device management and job submission.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called qda.
