Subject: [PATCH RFC 10/12] remoteproc: imx_rproc: always use non-blocking mailboxes
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 23:10:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916-remoteproc_virtio_map-v1-10-dac8c5eb4aa9@valla.it> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916-remoteproc_virtio_map-v1-0-dac8c5eb4aa9@valla.it>

Blocking mailboxes may lead to sleep during the kick operation, which
conflicts with some virtio devices (e.g.: virtio-can) that kicks their
virtqueues with spinlock(s) held.

Align to the behavior of all the other remoteproc drivers that use a
mailbox to perform the kick (i.e.: omap, st, stm32, ti_k3_*, xlnx_r5)
and move to a non-blocking mailbox here as well.

As a side effect of this modification, remove the close-reopen action on
the mailboxes during restart and shutdown.
