Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Add character device interface to remoteproc

This patch series adds a character device interface to remoteproc
framework. Currently there is only a sysfs interface which the userspace
clients can use. If a usersapce application crashes after booting
the remote processor through the sysfs interface the remote processor
does not get any indication about the crash. It might still assume
that the application is running.
For example modem uses remotefs service to data from disk/flash memory.
If the remotefs service crashes, modem still keeps on requesting data
which might lead to crash on modem. Even if the service is restarted the
file handles modem requested previously would become stale.
Adding a character device interface makes the remote processor tightly
coupled with the user space application. A crash of the application
leads to a close on the file descriptors therefore shutting down the
remoteproc.

Changelog:

v2 -> v3:
- Move booting of remoteproc from open to a write call.
- Add ioctl interface for future functionality extension.
- Add an ioctl call to default to rproc shutdown on release.

v2 -> v1:
- Fixed comments from Bjorn and Matthew.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] remoteproc: Add remoteproc character device interface

Add the character device interface into remoteproc framework.
This interface can be used in order to boot/shutdown remote
subsystems and provides a basic ioctl based interface to implement
supplementary functionality. An ioctl call is implemented to enable
the shutdown on release feature which will allow remote processors to
be shutdown when the controlling userpsace application crashes or hangs.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] remoteproc: core: Register the character device interface

Add the character device during rproc_add. This would create
a character device node at /dev/remoteproc<index>. Userspace
applications can interact with the remote processor using this
interface.

Because this is available on any kind of system it is probably best to provide
an compat_ioctl.

Add a comment that mentions the support of the character interface is optional
and as such and error is not generated if not available on the system.

Please add documentation for these. Also note you will have to rebase your work
on the latest rproc-next.

Thanks for intruducing Ioctl, this will help for future evolutions.

returning ENXIO in this case seems to me no appropriate , what about EPERM or

argp is an void value, where cdev_put_on_release is a bool a check or a conversion seems
missing

"remoteproc"instead of "rproc" (in line with sysfs and debugfs naming) .

These parameters are local variables of rproc_cdev. Could be defined in a separate structure.
with a pointer in rproc to this structure.

IOCTLs should probaly be documented.

I think structure @char_dev is just one more core member of rproc - to
me the real problem is with @cdev_put_on_release. It is yet another
option that has an effect on the processing done on the remote
processor. Other 'bool' types like has_iommu, auto_boot and
recovery_disabled are additional examples. No matter how much we are
careful at limiting their proliferation it is clear to me the current
way of declaring bool types every time we need a new option does not
scale.

I have been thinking about introducing a new u32 field called
"options" and assigning each of the current (and future) boolean flags
a bitfield. Individual options would be set with an exported
function, something like rproc_set_option(RPROC_OPTION_AUTO_BOOT).
That way users never directly manipulate the bitfields and it gives us
the opportunity to change how options are managed in the future if we
need to.

I will be sending a patchset for this feature in the coming days so
that we can discuss the best way to deal with flags.

Thanks,
Mathieu

I have added documentation to
Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst
Is there another place where I need to add documentation for this?

Could you add in this file comments that describe
the IOCTL usage and associated parameter?

>>> returning ENXIO in this case seems to me no appropriate , what about
>>> EPERM or

I think EPERM would indicate the operation is not permitted on the
device, and
EINVAL would indicate that the command/string they wrote to the char device
is not a valid command/string. I guess even ENXIO may not be appropriate?

In that case we could use EHOSTDOWN or ESHUTDOWN, thoughts?

Thanks,
Sid

I don't see any for of comments that describe in detail the IOCTL usage,
i.e.,
input parameters, etc. Could you provide an example so I can follow it?

If not, should I instead put them in Documentation/remoteproc.txt?

I agree to both points.


Separate of this, and presumably as part of the work to support
"detaching" (e.g. to restart Linux with the remoteproc running), we
should move the conditional into rproc_shutdown(), under the lock.

But for now, let's mimic what we have in the sysfs interface.

Bjorn and Mathieu are the right persons to decide on the best place.

Here are 2 exemples of "inline" documented IOCTRLs.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/tape390.h#L15
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/wan/cosa.h#L63

Could be something like that:

/*
* The RPROC_SET_SHUTDOWN_ON_RELEASE ioctl allows to enable/disable the
* automatic remote processors shutdown when the controlling userpsace
* closes the char device interface.
*
* input parameter: integer
* 0 : disable automatic shutdown
* other: enable automatic shutdown
*/
#define RPROC_SET_SHUTDOWN_ON_RELEASE _IOW(RPROC_MAGIC, 1, int)

/*
* The RPROC_GET_SHUTDOWN_ON_RELEASE ioctl gets information about the
* automatic remote processors shutdown when the controlling userpsace
* closes the char device interface.
*
* output parameter: integer
* 0: automatic shutdown disable
* 1: automatic shutdown enable
*/
#define RPROC_GET_SHUTDOWN_ON_RELEASE _IOR(RPROC_MAGIC, 2, int)

I like this. Thanks for digging up an example Arnaud!
