Some transports like Glink support the state notifications between
clients using signals similar to serial protocol signals.
Local glink client drivers can send and receive signals to glink
clients running on remote processors.

Add apis to support sending and receiving of signals by rpmsg clients.

I'm looking at this patchset as the introduction of an out-of-bound control interface.  But looking at the implementation of the GLINK's set_flow_control() the data is sent in-band, making me perplexed about introducing a new rpmsg_endpoint_ops for something that could be done from user space.  Especially when user space is triggering the message with an ioctl in patch 3.

Moreover this interface is case specific and doesn't reflect the generic nature
found in ept->sig_cb.

GLINK is built around one fifo per processor pair, similar to a
virtqueue. So the signal request is muxed in the same pipe as data
requests, but the signal goes alongside data request, not within them.

The previous proposal from Deepak was to essentially expose the normal
tty flags all the way down to the rpmsg driver. But I wasn't sure how
those various flags should be interpreted in the typical rpmsg driver.

I therefor asked Deepak to change it so the rpmsg api would contain a
single "pause incoming data"/"resume incoming data" - given that this is
a wish that we've seen in a number of discussions.


Unfortunately I don't have any good suggestion for how we could
implement this in the virtio backend at this time, but with the muxing
of all the different channels in the same virtqueue it would be good for
a driver to able to pause the inflow on a specific endpoint, to avoid
stalling other communication when a driver can't receive more messages.

That would be the equivalent of 2 additional virtqueues in virtio RPmsg backend
- two virtqueues for the stream,
- two virtqueues for the control
Right?

yes this feature is something that would improve the rpmsg protocol.this could
also be interesting to pause some services on suspend.
If I well remember we also spoke about QOS, with possibility to define allocated
bandwidth per service.

In proposed implementation the signaling is managed in RPMsg backend. This means
that the backend has to be aware about the signaling defined in a service. In
some other term the signaling is fixed by the backend, and this patchset would
fix the signaling for all the backend, right?
In this case shouldn't it be part of the rpmsg core?

Then to be able to transfer signaling to the remote processor based on RPMsg
protocol
I suppose that the signaling has to be encapsulated in a RPMsg sent by an
endpoint to a remote endpoint.

How to do you keep compatibility with the legacy (no flow control)?

What about associating a control endpoint with a channel?
A channel could contain:
- a default data ept (the exiting one)
- a default control endpoint (the new one).

We could extend the ns announcement mechanism to notify the control endpoint to
a remote processor...

I reflected more on this and I can see scenarios where sending control flow
messages alongside other data packet could be the only solution.  How the signal
is implemented is a platform specific choice.  I believe the same kind of
delivery mechanism implemented by kick() functions would be the best way to go
but if that isn't possible then in-band, as suggested in this patchset, is
better than nothing.

That is interesting.  I was hoping to keep the user level signal interfaces
generic and let the drivers do as they please with them.  I see your point
though and this might be one of those cases where there isn't a right or wrong
answer.

This will work for as long as we have a single usecase for it, i.e flow control.
I fear things will quickly get out of hands when more messages are needed, hence
the idea of keeping things as generic as possible.

Humm...

For application to remote processor things would work the same as it does for
GLINK, whether the communication is done from a rpmsg_driver (as in
rpmsg_client_sample.c) or from user space via something like the rpmsg_char.c
driver.  

For remote processor to application processor the interruptions would need to
carry the destination address of the endpoint, which might not be possible.

All this discussion proves that we really need to think about this before moving
forward, especially with Arnaud's ongoing refactoring of the rpmsg_char driver.

Imagine rather the equivalent of struct rpmsg_hdr carrying a "type"
field to specify if the payload is data, channel open, close, open_ack,
close_ack and flow control commands.

I.e. only "data" will be passed up to the client, the other types of
messages are interpreted internally.

Correct, it's the responsibility of the backend to exchange the flow
control signals.

In the case of GLINK flow control is inband control messages, for SMD
it's status bits in a fixed located "per-channel information struct".
And when we have talked about introducing this for virtio we have toyed
with the idea of creating a single control channel to exchange them.

So I don't think we have the ability to push the implementation itself
into the core, but I think if we define a small set of well defined
operations (such as flow on/off), it should be fairly straight forward
to implement these in the backend.

In the case of the two Qualcomm protocols we simply have been ignoring
them upstream and Qualcomm have carried downstream patches adding this
functionality.

This has worked out okay, because in addition to the explicit flow
control there's above described data packets are also governed by a
sliding window-like flow control. So no single channel is able to
completely saturate the link.

But for certain applications explicit flow control is necessary.

As both GLINK and SMD has these operations defined in the protocol
itself and the firmware is already written, I don't think we can come up
with something completely generic.

But I think these are good suggestions for how this functionality could
be implemented in the virtio backend.

Or one could borrow the design from GLINK and make use of the "reserved"
filed in struct rpmsg_hdr?

I'm definitely in favor of something generic, my objection was simply to
inherit the tty interface as that generic thing.

If nothing else I myself have a hard time understanding the actual
meaning of those bits and tend to have to look them up every time.

Do you have any other types of signals in mind?

The concept of flow control comes pretty natural in both GLINK and SMD,
given that an endpoint is the local representation of an established
link to an entity on the other side - while in virtio rpmsg endpoints
doesn't really have a state and a limited sense of there being something
on the other side.

So I agree that flow controlling in virtio rpmsg could have unforeseen
consequences e.g. by a service being blocked forever because it's
waiting for "flow resume" from an endpoint that never existed.

But I believe the impact of this is that we need to accept that there
will be cases where the flow control requests can't be fulfilled; such
as a loose rpmsg_endpoint without a predefined dst address or when
communicating with a remote that predates the protocol extensions that
will be necessary.

I currently don't have anything in mind but I know it will happen at one point,
hence hoping to proceed differently than having one ioctl per signal.
