Currently, in vring_interrupt, the vq callbacks are called directly.
However, these callbacks are not meant to be executed in IRQ context.
They do not return any irq_return_t value and some of them can do
locking (rpmsg_recv_done -> rpmsg_recv_single -> mutex_lock).
When compiled with DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, the kernel will spit out warnings
when such case shappen.
In order to allow calling these callbacks safely (without sleeping in
IRQ context), execute them in a workqueue if needed.

That's a bug in rpmsg. Pls fix there.

If applied this would slow data path handling of VQ events
significantly. Teaching callbacks to return irqreturn_t
might be a good idea, though it's not an insignificant
amount of work.

Yes, I was expecting that it would slow down VQ event handling.
I was not completely sure of the criticality of that.
Thanks for your answer.
