This goal of this series is to offer more flexibility for virtio_rpmsg communication link configuration. It should be possible to tune rpmsg buffer size per Rpmsg link, to provide selected configuration to coprocessor, to take into account coprocessor specificities like memory region. This series introduces an optional virtio rpmsg configuration structure, which will be managed as an extension of struct fw_rsc_vdev present in coprocessor firmware resource table. Structure access is possible thanks to virtio get and set API. This structure contains the different information to tune the link between the host and the coprocessor. Patch "rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg_bus: fix sg_set_buf() when addr is not a valid kernel address" has the same goal as Wendy's RFC [1]. I don't have tested Wendy's series with level driver buffer allocation. Last patch "rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: set buffer configuration to virtio" has a dependency with remoteproc subdevice boot sequence as coprocessor resource table must be updated before coprocessor start. See [2] [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-remoteproc/msg00852.html [2] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-remoteproc/msg00826.html --- Changes from v1: - No more dependency with [2]. Coprocessor firmware should wait for first kick indicating virtio rpmsg link ready before accessing resource table information. - Correct issues reported by Suman - Fix warnings found by checkpatch with --strict option Loic Pallardy (6): rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: set rpmsg_buf_size customizable rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg_bus: fix sg_set_buf() when addr is not a valid kernel address include: virtio_rpmsg: add virtio rpmsg configuration structure rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: get buffer configuration from virtio rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: don't allocate buffer if provided by low level driver rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: set buffer configuration to virtio drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c | 176 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ include/linux/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg.h | 32 +++++++ 2 files changed, 179 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg.h -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-remoteproc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
