virtio rpmsg was not implemented to use RPMsg char driver.
Each virtio ns announcement will create a new RPMsg device which
is supposed to bound to a RPMsg driver. It doesn't support
dynamic endpoints with name service per RPMsg device.
With RPMsg char driver, you can have multiple endpoints per
RPMsg device.

Here is the change from this patch:
* Introduce a macro to indicate if want to use RPMsg char driver
  for virtio RPMsg. The RPMsg device can either be bounded to
  a simple RPMsg driver or the RPMsg char driver.
* Create Virtio RPMsg char device when the virtio RPMsg driver is
  probed.
* when there is a remote service announced, keep it in the virtio
  proc remote services list.
* when there is an endpoint created, bind it to a remote service
  from the remote services list. If the service doesn't exist yet,
  create one and mark the service address as ANY.

We have different userspace applications to use RPMsg differently,
what we need is a RPMsg char driver which can supports multiple
endpoints per remote device.
The virtio rpmsg driver at the moment doesn't support the RPMsg
char driver.
Please advise if this is patch is the right direction. If not,
any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Wendy,

Few remarks on your patch.

Would be nice to simplify the review if patch was split in several
patches (for instance per feature introduced).

Here, I think you break the possibility to instantiate several times the
same service .
For instance, today if you have 2 communications in parallel:
Core1_Aplli1  <-- "foo" service --> core2_appli1
Core1_Aplli2  <-- "foo" service --> core2_appli2

2 ways to do it:
1) one service and 4 endpoints
=> issue it to know the destination address.
2) 2 instances of the same service with default endpoint.

I also tried to use this char device to expose rpmsg service for
application.
Issue with this device (from my point of view) is that it has to be
relied on a kernel rpmsg device.
I suppose that your need is to expose RMPSG to userland without creating
a platform driver.
In this case perhaps an alternative could be to move this part in
rmpsg_char to allow to probe it in standalone...

[Wendy] These changes are made to use the RPMsg char driver.
Some items such when an endpoint is created while the remote hasn't announced
this service yet is "new feature", but at the moment I am not 100% sure if this change follows
the right direction.

[Wendy] I can add the remote service address to the input argument
That is to identify a remote service, it will be the "name" + service address.

[Wendy] with the existing virtio rpmsg implementation, each service will be binded
to a rpmsg_device. Each rpmsg_device can have multiple static endpoints.
But this is different to how rpmsg_char is supposed to use, rpmsg_char looks to me
Each endpoint created by rpmsg_char, either dynamic (without knowing the remote
Address beforehand) or static(specifying the remote endpoint) should be binded
to a service.

rpmsg_char user APIs can meet what we need, however, we uses rpmsg over virtio.
But at the moment the virtio_rpmsg doesn't support rpmsg_char.
You talked about the allow rpmsg_char to be probed in standalone, I think that's good
Idea, however, we need to bind the rpmsg_char to the virtio rpmsg device.

How about to have "driver_override" of rpmsg_device exposed to userspace with channel
name information available (sysfs) and then we can dynamically bind it to rpmsg_char driver
from userspace? And then we can limit the rpmsg_char create endpoint feature to 
only create static endpoints over the same channel in case of virtio_rpmsg usage?

Thanks,
Wendy

remoteproc binds rpmsg with virtio, so calling register_rpmsg_driver
should do the job.

Creating a specific device could be another solution. I have no opinion
on what could be the best strategy.
Bjorn, what is your feeling?

A constraint to add in design is  that we should not expose all the
rpmsg device to userland. Except if i missed something, it seems that
activating RPMSG_VIRTIO_CHAR config exposes all the rpmsg devices.

Another alternative is to expose rpmsg to userland trough some generic
interfaces like proxy, tty, FS posix....

[Wendy] I just noticed that Anup has sent a patch to add "driver_override".

[Wendy] just wonder with "driver_override", can we limit to apply to those
RPMsg device which is not bound to any driver yet?

[Wendy] Yes, but it needs to have RPMsg driver for each of them.

I think it would be preferable to split this patch up in one that adds
client support and then one that adds service support - in particular
since the latter isn't something we support in Linux today.

Rather than sprinkling the entire implementation with conditionals on
RPMSG_VIRTIO_CHAR I think we should just add this code unconditionally
and rely on RPMSG_CHAR to make it functional or not.

This should be "Return: NULL if no..."

As described above, move this to a separate patch - as this not only
adds rpmsg_char integration but support for local services.

Is it really possible to get here without ept->rpdev being assigned?

Afaict for client endpoints this will never create a new service, just
return the old one so that the vept can be linked to the rsvc. But I
fail to see why the vept needs to be tied to the rsvc.

The only case where it seems to be used is in order to access the addr
of the rsvc because the ept value isn't trusted, but this seems wrong.

Won't this announce back channels that was announced to us by the
remote?


Also, if your only caller to a function has to explicitly discard the
returned value (void), then just make the function void.

We most definitely want to rpmsg_create_channel() for newly announced
channels, otherwise you're disabling support for in-kernel rpmsg
devices.

The expectation is that you rpmsg_create_channel() which will attempt to
probe a kernel driver and if none is found it's left dangling and
rpmsg_char can open it. (or if the kernel driver is unbound)
