Adding the capability to supplement the base definition published
by an rpmsg_driver with a postfix description so that it is possible
for several entity to use the same service.

So, the concern I have here is that we are retrofitting this into the
existing 32-byte name field, and the question is if it is going to be
enough in general. That's the reason I went with the additional 32-byte
field with the "rpmsg: add a description field" patch.

That's a valid concern.

Did you consider increasing the size of RPMSG_NAME_SIZE to 64? Have
you found cases where that wouldn't work?  I did a survey of all the
places the #define is used and all destination buffers are also using
the same #define in their definition.  It would also be backward
compatible with firmware implementations that use 32 byte.

Thanks,
Mathieu

You can't directly bump the size without breaking the compatibility on
the existing rpmsg_ns_msg in firmwares right? All the Linux-side drivers
will be ok since they use the same macro but rpmsg_ns_msg has presence
on both kernel and firmware-sides.

Ah yes yes... The amount of bytes coming out of the pipe won't match.
Let me think a little...

+1 for Suman's concern.

Anyway i would like to challenge the need of more than 32 bytes to
differentiate service instances.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", seems to me enough if we only need
to differentiate the instances.

But perhaps the need is also to provide a short description of the service?

Suman, could you share some examples of your need?

Looking at things further it is possible to extend the name of the service to
64 byte while keeping backward compatibility by looking up the size of @len
in function rpmsg_ns_cb().  From there work with an rpmsg_ns_msg or a new
rpmsg_ns_msg64, pretty much the way you did in your patch[1].  In fact the
approach is the same except you are using 2 arrays of 32 byte and I'm using one
of 64. 

As Arnaud mentioned, is there an immediate need to support a 64-byte name?  If
not than I suggest to move forward with this patch and address the issue when we
get there - at least we know there is room for extention. Otherwise I'll spin
off another revision but it will be bigger and more complex.

Thanks,
Mathieu

Remember that the rpmsg_device_id name takes some space within here. So,
the shorter the rpmsg_device_id table name, the more room you have.

I am mostly using it to provide a unique instantiation name. In anycase,
I have cross-checked against my current firmwares, and so far all of
them happen to have the name + desc < 31 bytes.

Yeah ok. I have managed to get my downstream drivers that use the desc
field working with this patch after modifying the firmwares to publish
using combined name, and adding logic in probe to get the trailing
portion of the name.

So, the only thing that is missing or content for another patch is if we
need to add some tooling/helper stuff for giving the trailing stuff to
rpmsg drivers?

So that all rpmsg drivers don't come up with their own parsing that
ends up doing the same thing.  Let me think about that - I may have to
get back to you...

Yep. Sure no problem. It can be a patch on top of this as well.

Arnaud,
Do you have immediate need for the tooling stuff for the rpmsg-tty driver?

Before moving forward on rpmsg_tty i would prefer that we are aligned with Bjorn
on the implementation of the rpmsg_tty itself and the evolution of the service name...
Then rpmsg_tty could be a good threadfor a first implementation...


Concerning the name service, having a discussion around the name service skeleton would
be nice. This could be an good input for the helpers function definition.

Propositions in rpmsg_tty thread are

<service_name>-<feature>
or
<service_name>-<feature>-<sub_service>

don't hesitate to comment and/or propose alternatives

Regards,
Arnaud
