[PATCH 0/4] Introduction of rpmsg_rx_done

[PATCH 0/4] Introduction of rpmsg_rx_done

[Chris Lew]

This series proposes an implementation for the rpmsg framework to do
deferred cleanup of buffers provided in the rx callback. The current
implementation assumes that the client is done with the buffer after
returning from the rx callback.

In some cases where the data size is large, the client may want to
avoid copying the data in the rx callback for later processing. This
series proposes two new facilities for signaling that they want to
hold on to a buffer after the rx callback.
They are:
 - New API rpmsg_rx_done() to tell the rpmsg framework the client is
   done with the buffer
 - New return codes for the rx callback to signal that the client will
   hold onto a buffer and later call rpmsg_rx_done()

This series implements the qcom_glink_native backend for these new
facilities.

[PATCH 1/4] rpmsg: core: Add rx done hooks

[Chris Lew]

In order to reduce the amount of copies in the rpmsg framework, it is
necessary for clients to take brief ownership of the receive buffer.

Add the capability for clients to notify the rpmsg framework and the
underlying transports when it is going to hold onto a buffer and also
notify when the client is done with the buffer.

In the .rx_cb of the rpmsg drivers, if they wish to use the received
buffer at a later point, they should return RPMSG_DEFER. Otherwise
returning RPMSG_HANDLED (0) will signal the framework that the client
is done with the resources and can continue with cleanup.

The clients should check if their rpmsg endpoint supports the rx_done
operation with the new state variable in the rpmsg_endpoint since not
all endpoints will have the ability to support this operation.

DEFER or HOLD?
In both case, would be nice to update the up-streamed RPMSG service
devices to reflect this update, even if the compatibility is preserved.

Same: done or hold?

Perhaps a bitmap here would be better for future.
I guess that similar feature could be requested for TX...

Do you see a scenario where rpmsg_endpoint_ops::rx_done holds a valid pointer
but rpmsg_epndpoint::rx_done is set to false?  If not please remove.

[PATCH 2/4] rpmsg: char: Add support to use rpmsg_rx_done

[Chris Lew]

Add support into the rpmsg char driver to skip copying the data into an
skb if the endpoint supports rpmsg_rx_done. If the endpoint supports
the rx_done operation, allocate a zero sized skb and set the data to
the buffer returned in the rx callback. When the packet is read from
the character device, release the memory by calling rpmsg_rx_done().

I was worried about all that open ended code but looking at the sk_buff API I
don't think it is possible to do otherwise.  As such:

[PATCH 3/4] rpmsg: glink: Try to send rx done in irq

[Chris Lew]

Some remote processors and usecases such as audio playback are
sensitive to the response time of rx done. Try to send the rx done cmd
from irq context. If trysend fails, defer the rx done work like before.

[PATCH 4/4] rpmsg: glink: Add support for rpmsg_rx_done

[Chris Lew]

Add the implementation for the hooks of rpmsg_rx_done. If a client
signals they want to hold onto a buffer with RPMSG_DEFER in the rx_cb,
glink will move that intent to a deferred cleanup list. On the new
rpmsg rx_done call, the glink transport will search this deferred
cleanup list for the matching buffer and release the intent.

I don't see where @ret could be set to RPMSG_DEFER in this function...

The API you proposed seems to me quite smart and adaptable to the rpmsg
virtio backend.

My main concern is about the release of the buffer when the endpoint
is destroyed.

Does the buffer release should be handled by each services or by the
core?

I wonder if the buffer list could be managed by the core part by adding
the list in the rpmsg_endpoint structure. On destroy the core could call
the rx_done for each remaining buffers in list...

I let Bjorn and Mathieu advise on this...

Thanks,
Arnaud
