Gotcha - thanks for the details.

Limiting the number of buffers in case the vrings are too small makes
sense, but let's use RPMSG_NUM_BUFS as an upper bound, so wacky
resource tables won't trigger unreasonable memory waste.

Something in the lines of:

vrp->num_bufs = min(PMSG_NUM_BUFS, virtqueue_get_vring_size(vrp->rvq) * 2);

Should probably do the trick.

Does this satisfy your requirement?

Thanks,
Ohad.
