Glink transport support signals to exchange state notification between
local and remote side clients. Adding support to send/receive the signal
command and notify the clients through callback and POLL notification.

Changes since v1:
- Split the patches as per functional areas like core, char, glink
- Add set, clear mask for TIOCMSET
- Merge the char signal callback and POLLPRI patches

Changes since v2:
- Modify the rpmsg_get_signals function prototype

Changes since v3:
- Correct the TICOMGET case handling as per new rpmsg_get_signals prototype
- Update the rpmsg_get_signals function header

Arun Kumar Neelakantam (4):
  rpmsg: core: Add signal API support
  rpmsg: glink: Add support to handle signals command
  rpmsg: char: Add TIOCMGET/TIOCMSET ioctl support
  rpmsg: char: Add signal callback and POLLPRI support

Some transports like Glink support the state notifications between
clients using signals similar to serial protocol signals.

Remote peripherals send signal notifications over glink with commandID 15.

Add support to send and receive the signal command and convert the signals
from NATIVE to TIOCM while receiving and vice versa while sending.

Register a callback to get the signal notifications from rpmsg and
send POLLPRI mask to indicate the signal change in POLL system call.

Please correct me if i'm wrong...My concern here is that this patchset
implements a rpmsg service in the rpmsg core. I would separate this from
the rpmsg core, as this is not part of the rpmsg protocol but seems
linked to the serial protocol itself.
Could it be implemented in rpmsg_char, using a dedicated channel...?

rpmsg_char does expose a rpmsg channel (be it virtio, smd or glink) to
user space. This patch series add support for invoking TIOCMGET and
TIOCMSET on these channels.

In addition to adding the client side of this to rpmsg_char it provides
this support for glink, but the same mechanism exists in smd - while
this is not supported (today) by the virtio rpmsg.


I'm uncertain of how we could implement this mechanism for virtio rpmsg,
given that it as a transport doesn't really have a concept of
channels/flows - but it's really useful to have!

PS. rpmsg_set_signals() can be called from any rpmsg device to perform
flow control of the communication channel.

I'm not familiar with this concept, that could explain that i don't
understand this patchset...

TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET is related to the serial/console flow control, to
control remote modem/processor, right?

it seems be implemented only to support the rpmsg_char ioctl interface.
When i have a look to the glink code, signal is treated by a message
sent to remote processor. Therefore it seems that it could be treated as
a service on top of rpmsg (so treat it in rpmsg_char instead of extend
the rpmsg protocol to treat it in glink driver).

This is my main concern, i would like to be sure that this service is
not related to specific needs introduced by the rmpsg char implementation:
In this case this should not be part of the rpmsg core but perhaps some
ops directly provided to the rpmsg_char on registration
(rpmsg_chrdev_register_device?)...

For my point of view this patch-set extends the rpmsg protocol to add
channel flow control.
Does it make sense to have a flow control in rpmsg protocol?
if yes, should it be linked to a channel or to the remote processor itself?

Extra comment: associated documentation update is missing.

Correct, using the known tty ioctls for flow control we allow userspace
to communicate flow control information to the rpmsg_char driver.

The glink message is a control message, so it's not possible to pass
this inside a channel. As such it's not possible to solve this entirely
in rpmsg_char.

Looking at SMD, this is a set of bits in a per-channel control
structure. So there it's clearer that it's some side-band control
information.


Further more, the rpmsg_char driver just exposes a channel to user
space, it does not care about the data inside. As such it's not possible
to generically extend it to support this with in-band messages.

Arun's imminent need is for a user space client that needs to flow
control the incoming data stream. But the possibility of controlling the
incoming flow of data is useful in a number of situations.

Having per-channel flow control particularly useful in scenarios where
one has multiple types of data flowing over a shared underlying FIFO -
such as virtio rpmsg. As this allows these different applications to
limit the data rate without having to use application specific side band
controls.

Good catch, we should have a section in Documentation/rpmsg.txt
describing this mechanism.

Agree that per-channel flow control could be useful to give priorities
an limit data flow rate. And as discussed yesterday in Openamp meeting,
rpmsg seems the well place to add a kind of channel controller.

That's means than we should probably need a generic way to configure
flow control, not based on TTY ioctl protocol, but compatible with its
associated feature.

If you need a short term solution, perhaps, a first step could be to
define a more generic API, that would be bypassed to the rpmsg backend
driver...

From my POV, a blocking point in current patch is that rpmsg_set_signals
and rpmsg_get_signals create dependency between the client the back-end
driver in term of parameters. Both have to know the signification of
these parameters, that are not defined in the interface, but in user
ioctl API. This seems not suitable for non rpmsg_char client that would
use flow control.
Other concern is that the term "signals" seems too generic if it is
