Subject: [PATCH v10 4/4] misc: fastrpc: Add polling mode support for fastRPC driver
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:29:03 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424095903.1622565-5-ekansh.gupta@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424095903.1622565-1-ekansh.gupta@oss.qualcomm.com>
For any remote call to DSP, after sending an invocation message,
fastRPC driver waits for glink response and during this time the
CPU can go into low power modes. This adds latency to overall fastrpc
call as CPU wakeup and scheduling latencies are included. Add polling
mode support with which fastRPC driver will poll continuously on a
memory after sending a message to remote subsystem which will eliminate
CPU wakeup and scheduling latencies and reduce fastRPC overhead. In case
poll timeout happens, the call will fallback to normal RPC mode. Poll
mode can be enabled by user by using FASTRPC_IOCTL_SET_OPTION ioctl
request with FASTRPC_POLL_MODE request id.
