1) Update from V6 [1]: Updates based on Mathieu's comments. Updates are listed in the commit message of each patch. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/3/558 2) Patchset description: This series is a part of the work initiated a long time ago in the series "remoteproc: Decorelate virtio from core"[2] Objective of the work: - Update the remoteproc VirtIO device creation (use platform device) - Allow to declare remoteproc VirtIO device in DT - declare resources associated to a remote proc VirtIO - declare a list of VirtIO supported by the platform. - Prepare the enhancement to more VirtIO devices (e.g I2C, audio, video, ...). For instance be able to declare a I2C device in a virtio-i2C node. - Keep the legacy working! - Try to improve the picture about concerns reported by Christoph Hellwing [3][4] [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/16/1817 [3] https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/23/607 [4] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-remoteproc/patch/AOKowLclCbOCKxyiJ71WeNyuAAj2q8EUtxrXbyky5E@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ In term of device tree this would result in such hierarchy (stm32mp1 example with 2 virtio RPMSG): m4_rproc: m4@10000000 { compatible = "st,stm32mp1-m4"; reg = <0x10000000 0x40000>, <0x30000000 0x40000>, <0x38000000 0x10000>; memory-region = <&retram>, <&mcuram>,<&mcuram2>; mboxes = <&ipcc 2>, <&ipcc 3>; mbox-names = "shutdown", "detach"; status = "okay"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; vdev@0 { compatible = "rproc-virtio"; reg = <0>; virtio,id = <7>; /* RPMSG */ memory-region = <&vdev0vring0>, <&vdev0vring1>, <&vdev0buffer>; mboxes = <&ipcc 0>, <&ipcc 1>; mbox-names = "vq0", "vq1"; status = "okay"; }; vdev@1 { compatible = "rproc-virtio"; reg = <1>; virtio,id = <7>; /*RPMSG */ memory-region = <&vdev1vring0>, <&vdev1vring1>, <&vdev1buffer>; mboxes = <&ipcc 4>, <&ipcc 5>; mbox-names = "vq0", "vq1"; status = "okay"; }; }; I have divided the work in 4 steps to simplify the review, This series implements only the step 1: step 1: Redefine the remoteproc VirtIO device as a platform device - migrate rvdev management in remoteproc virtio.c, - create a remotproc virtio config ( can be disabled for platform that not use VirtIO IPC. step 2: Add possibility to declare and probe a VirtIO sub node - VirtIO bindings declaration, - multi DT VirtIO devices support, - introduction of a remote proc virtio bind device mechanism , => https://github.com/arnopo/linux/commits/step2-virtio-in-DT step 3: Add memory declaration in VirtIO subnode => https://github.com/arnopo/linux/commits/step3-virtio-memories step 4: Add mailbox declaration in VirtIO subnode => https://github.com/arnopo/linux/commits/step4-virtio-mailboxes Arnaud Pouliquen (4): remoteproc: core: Introduce rproc_rvdev_add_device function remoteproc: core: Introduce rproc_add_rvdev function remoteproc: Move rproc_vdev management to remoteproc_virtio.c remoteproc: virtio: Create platform device for the remoteproc_virtio drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c | 153 +++--------------- drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_internal.h | 23 ++- drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_virtio.c | 188 ++++++++++++++++++++--- include/linux/remoteproc.h | 6 +- 4 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 161 deletions(-) -- 2.24.3
