Add sysfs nodes to conifigure routing of specific vlan id to GVM queue.
GVM queue is not exposed to PVM stmmac, so TC ops can't configure routing.

Perhaps I'm just not familiar enough with the details of stmmac, but can
you please describe what PVM and GVM is?

Adding files in /sysfs has ~0 chance of being accepted.
As requested, please explain what all these different hardware blocks
are, and what you are trying to achieve. We can then recommend the
correct interface.

We have multiVM Architecture here. PVM will have stmmac running with 4 Rx Tx queues. stmmac in PVM is responsible to configure whole ethernet HW MAC/DMA/MTL ( including clocks, regulators and other core bsp elements).
In GVM we have thin Ethernet driver, which is responsible to configure and manage only 1 Rx/TX queue, i.e 5th Rx/Tx ethernet queue. GVM can't access any other resisters apart from this 5th queue specific MTL and DMA registers.
We need to route vlan traffic of a specific Priority to GVM Queue (Ethernet queue 5) via programming a MAC register. The MAC register is not accessible in GVM and has to be programmed from PVM. stmmac already has TC OPS to program this routing via vlan priority. However, as PVM has only 4 queues enabled, TC tool will not take 5th queue as input. Hence, these nodes were added to conifure the MAC register to route specific vlan packets to 5th queue in GVM.
Note: The queues mentioned above are HW MTL Queues and DMA Channels. The routing can be done in the HW itself based on vlan pcp before the packets reach to driver.

Please remember that stmmac is mostly used in embedded systems. People
used to embedded systems generally don't know virtual machine
terminology. So please spell out what PBM, GVM, etc mean.

Is the normal way you would do this is like this:
tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent root handle 100 \
mqprio num_tc 4 \
map 0 1 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 \
hw 1
But you are saying that you cannot extend this to 5 queues?

Yes this can't extend to 5 queues. Because, stmmac in primary virtual machine will only have 4 netdev queues. So TC won't take input for 5th queue.

I still don't understand your architecture. How can you have 5 queues
if the physical hardware only has 4?
Is there any documentation for all this? Any datasheet?
