How LMT means that?

Is it specific to a device?

Where is it used? Is it different of NIC?

All these stuff look device-specific. Please add details.

LMT is how the Large Atomic Store Unit in the CNXK devices is referred to as.
It will be difficult to put a 1:1 mapping between the letters and actual
names.

It is used throughout the CNXK driver code (drivers/net/cnxk). This is not same as
NIC.

Please add details in the commit log so we understand they are Marvell acronyms.

One more question: why is useful to add? Some people forget uppercases?

Commit log already mentions these are Marvell specific acronyms. I did not
add explanation for each of them as this would make the message too long.

Upper case is desired but not really mandatory. This was a suggestion put
forth to me In one of the reviews.
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210830135231.2610152-1-asekhar@marvell.com/

I can abandon this change if you feel it is not appropriate to put many
device specific acronyms in the top level word list.

Oh yes, I missed it, sorry.

No strong opinion, but I think the patch is OK.
David, Ferruh, opinions?

Yes this is suggested to be sure acronyms are uppercase in the patch title.

But if an issue can be described in generic concepts, I am for using them to
instead of using device specific acronyms, to make commit logs less cryptic.
Like 'NIC' should be used instead of 'NIX'.

Similarly we can try to use long version of CQ/SQ/RQ, although we may need to
use them because of limited title length time to time.

Rest seems device specific abbreviations we may not escape to use them, so they
are OK to me.

Out of curiosity, what is "rest of chip"?

Agree that certain commit logs could be re-worded and put in more
generic terms.

> Like 'NIC' should be used instead of 'NIX'.
But NIX and NIC are not exactly interchangeable. NIX refers to a co-processor.
NIX in conjunction with other co-processors (NPA, LMT etc.) delivers the
functionality of a NIC.

Anything which is non-CPU. Co-processors like NPA, NIX, etc. are collectively
referred to as ROC.

Got it, my bad, I understood they are same. OK to keep it.

Hi David, Thomas,

Can we proceed with this patch if there is no more objection?

There are multiple 'cnxk' patches are using these acronyms,
it would be good the have them checked.
(Although I suspect Jerin already have the patch locally,
since there is no missuses in sent patches.)
