[PATCH v7 0/8] rpmsg: Make RPMSG name service modular

[PATCH v7 0/8] rpmsg: Make RPMSG name service modular

[Mathieu Poirier]

This revision addresses comments received from the previous revision,
i.e V6.  Please see details below.

It starts by making the RPMSG protocol transport agnostic by
moving the headers it uses to generic types and using those in the
current implementation.  From there it re-uses the work that Arnaud
published[1] to make the name service modular.

Tested on stm32mp157 with the RPMSG client sample application.  Applies
cleanly on rpmsg-next.

Thanks,
Mathieu

New for V7:
- Fixed error path in rpmsg_probe() as reported by Guennadi

Arnaud Pouliquen (4):
  rpmsg: virtio: Rename rpmsg_create_channel
  rpmsg: core: Add channel creation internal API
  rpmsg: virtio: Add rpmsg channel device ops
  rpmsg: Turn name service into a stand alone driver

Mathieu Poirier (4):
  rpmsg: Introduce __rpmsg{16|32|64} types
  rpmsg: virtio: Move from virtio to rpmsg byte conversion
  rpmsg: Move structure rpmsg_ns_msg to header file
  rpmsg: Make rpmsg_{register|unregister}_device() public

[PATCH v7 1/8] rpmsg: Introduce __rpmsg{16|32|64} types

[Mathieu Poirier]

Introduce __rpmsg{16|32|64} types along with byte order conversion
functions based on an rpmsg_device operation as a foundation to
make RPMSG modular and transport agnostic.

[PATCH v7 5/8] rpmsg: core: Add channel creation internal API

[Mathieu Poirier]

From: Arnaud Pouliquen <arnaud.pouliquen@st.com>

Add the channel creation API as a first step to be able to define the
name service announcement as a rpmsg driver independent from the RPMsg
virtio bus.

[PATCH v7 7/8] rpmsg: Make rpmsg_{register|unregister}_device() public

Make function rpmsg_register_device() and rpmsg_unregister_device()
functions public so that they can be used by other clients.  While
doing so get rid of two obsolete function, i.e register_rpmsg_device()
and unregister_rpmsg_device(), to prevent confusion.

Make the RPMSG name service announcement a stand alone driver so that it
can be reused by other subsystems.  It is also the first step in making the
functionatlity transport independent, i.e that is not tied to virtIO.

Hi Mathieu,

I'd like to resume reviewing and begin upstreaming of the next steps of 
my Audio DSP Virtualisation work, based on this your patch set. How 
confident are we that it's going to be upstreamed in its present form? 
What's the plan to push it to "next?"

Thanks

Re: [PATCH v7 0/8] rpmsg: Make RPMSG name service modular

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

(adding vhost maintainers and the author of [1])

Hi,

I'm working on an Audio DSP virtualisation solution [2] and the next 
step in its upstreaming should be an RPMsg vhost implementation, based 
on [3], which contains a simple addition to the current library-style 
vhost API. Later in [1] a different approach has been presented, 
converting the vhost framework to a proper bus-type and device driver. 
Therefore my questions:

1. if the latter approach is prefered, should we expect follow up 
versions of [1] and their upstreaming?
2. judging by the size and complexity of [1] would it maybe be 
preferable to first extract a minimum patch set just to add vhost 
rpmsg? Looking at the patch set it should be doable and not too 
difficult? Kishon, would it be something you could submit?
3. or would it be preferable to keep vhost in its present form, use 
[3] for rpmsg support and re-implement [1] based on a different 
vhost / vringh approach?

Thanks
Guennadi

To me that is the best approach.  It might be best for you to do the
work and credit Kishon where needed.

Yeah, my focus right now is to get my NTB patch series upstreamed [A],
So I might not be able to get to this any sooner. As Mathieu suggested,
I recommend you to pick the generic parts of my series that doesn't
involve PCI or NTB or VHOST MMIO.

The following patches in my series should get the generic vhost
infrastructure part up.

0001-vhost-Make-_feature_-bits-a-property-of-vhost-device.patch
0002-vhost-Introduce-standard-Linux-driver-model-in-VHOST.patch
0003-vhost-Add-ops-for-the-VHOST-driver-to-configure-VHOS.patch

0006-vhost-Introduce-configfs-entry-for-configuring-VHOST.patch

0008-rpmsg-virtio_rpmsg_bus-Disable-receive-virtqueue-cal.patch
0009-rpmsg-Introduce-configfs-entry-for-configuring-rpmsg.patch
0010-rpmsg-virtio_rpmsg_bus-Add-Address-Service-Notificat.patch
0011-rpmsg-virtio_rpmsg_bus-Move-generic-rpmsg-structure-.patch

0014-rpmsg-Add-VHOST-based-remote-processor-messaging-bus.patch
0015-samples-rpmsg-Setup-delayed-work-to-send-message.patch
0016-samples-rpmsg-Wait-for-address-to-be-bound-to-rpdev-.patch
0017-rpmsg.txt-Add-Documentation-to-configure-rpmsg-using.patch

Let me know if you have any questions or need further clarifications.

Thank you for working on this.

Best Regards,
Kishon
