Subject: [PATCH V7 1/3] rpmsg: core: Add signal API support

From: Deepak Kumar Singh <[email protected]>

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

Add APIs to support sending and receiving of flow control status by
rpmsg clients.

Here we return an error if the backend does not implement the ops.
But the set_flow_control ops is optional.
Should we return 0 instead with a debug message?

I wonder here if we should also add a parameter for the remote source address.
This parameter is already exist for the
int (*callback)(struct rpmsg_device *, void *, int, void *, u32)
useful in case of point to multi point communication...

It seems reasonable to allow the software to react to the absence of
flow control support, so a debug message wouldn't help.

But advertising that more explicitly by returning something like
EOPNOTSUPP seems better.

As shown in the discussion, it's still not clear what true/false means.
Also, let's try to clarify that it's a request for the other side to do
something:

* rpmsg_set_flow_control() - request remote to pause/resume transmission
* ...
* @enable: flow restricted
* ...


PS. There's a stray space at the end of the line.

The notion of flow restricted seems to me also ambiguous. It does
not specify if the stream is limited in term of bandwidth or stopped.

What about using XON/XOFF as specified in software flow control[1]

XOFF Pause transmission
XON Resume transmission

or simply pause/resume definitions

I agree, that's still ambiguous.

I was concerned about expressing it such that the reader would assume
that calling this means there will be no more data coming, but there
might be things in the queues etc. Expressing it in terms of the state
of transmission is clearer.


/*
* rpmsg_set_flow_control() - request remote to pause/resume transmission
...
* @enable: Pause transmission
...
*/

Does that sound okay and clear to you?

Much better! I still have a nitpicking point :)
What about replacing @enable variable by @pause to align the variable with the
usage?
/*
* rpmsg_set_flow_control() - request remote to pause/resume transmission
...
* @pause: set to 1 to pause transmission, to 0 to resume the transmission
...
*/
