Data Path Modem AP Interface (DPMAIF) HIF layer provides methods for initialization, ISR, control and event handling of TX/RX flows. DPMAIF TX Exposes the 'dmpaif_tx_send_skb' function which can be used by the network device to transmit packets. The uplink data management uses a Descriptor Ring Buffer (DRB). First DRB entry is a message type that will be followed by 1 or more normal DRB entries. Message type DRB will hold the skb information and each normal DRB entry holds a pointer to the skb payload. DPMAIF RX The downlink buffer management uses Buffer Address Table (BAT) and Packet Information Table (PIT) rings. The BAT ring holds the address of skb data buffer for the HW to use, while the PIT contains metadata about a whole network packet including a reference to the BAT entry holding the data buffer address. The driver reads the PIT and BAT entries written by the modem, when reaching a threshold, the driver will reload the PIT and BAT rings.

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.
