Thanks for pointing it, i will have alook

Right this is probed by the rpmsg bus.

I do not observe this behavior on virtio backend. In my test I create 2
instances based on the ns announcement, /dev/rpmsg0 & /dev/rpmsg1 is created
Then I create a new instance using RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL that create the
/dev/rpmsg2

The use of ida_simple_get in __rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_create should prevent such
use case
Do you observe such behavior on your side, or only a concern?

you mean ept->priv i suppose.

Because the priv parameter is managed by the rpmsg backend, so I have to assume
that it is used for some other purposes in the backend.

Right, here I can see 2 solutions:
- the use of a mutex to block the open
- move the rpmsg_create_default_ept in the open but in this case i need to keep
the eptdev->static_ept bool

A preference or an alternative?

The point here is more the use of RPMSG_CHAR_DEVNAME in
 memcpy(chinfo.name, RPMSG_CHAR_DEVNAME, sizeof(RPMSG_CHAR_DEVNAME));
right?

I can change this by rpdev->id->name and suppress RPMSG_CHAR_DEVNAME
