Hi Brian,
Thanks for the review!

rmtfs_mem provides access to physical storage and is crucial for the
operation of the Qualcomm modem subsystem.

The rmtfs_mem implementation must be available before the modem
subsystem is booted and a solution where the modem remoteproc will
verify that the rmtfs_mem is available has been discussed in the past.
But this would not handle the case where the rmtfs_mem provider is
restarted, which would cause fatal loss of access to the storage device
for the modem.

The suggestion is therefore to link the rmtfs_mem to its associated
remote processor instance and control it based on the availability of
the rmtfs_mem implementation.

[sibis: Added qmi lookup for Remote file system service]
Signed-off-by: Sibi Sankar <sibis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The currently implemented workaround in the Linaro QCOMLT releases is to
blacklist the qcom_q6v5_pil kernel module and load this explicitly after rmtfs
has been started.

With this patch the modem module can be loaded automatically by the
platform_bus and will only be booted as the rmtfs becomes available. Performing
actions such as upgrading (and restarting) the rmtfs service will cause the
modem to automatically restart and hence continue to function after the
upgrade.

v2:
Remove rproc_boot/shutdown from rmtfs_mem open/release and add
qmi lookup for Remote file system service to address Brian's
race concerns.

I'll repeat my comment here: this is straying far into the territory of
putting software configuration in the device tree. Per your own
comments, the modem firmware can be configured to run with or without a
remote FS, and now you're assuming that the device tree will include
this property or not, based on how you configured said firmware. That's
not how device tree is supposed to work.


Yes makes sense, will remove all dt dependencies in the next re-spin

= EXAMPLE
The following example shows the remote filesystem memory setup for APQ8016,
with the rmtfs region for the Hexagon DSP (id #1) located at 0x86700000.

So how is it supposed to work when you have an internal filesystem for
the modem? User space just knows about this, and manually starts the
remoteproc?


I somehow missed this

Since the default firmware configuration for 8916/8996/845 has
rmtfs dependency I plan on adding the qmi lookup by default till
we get a platform that needs rmtfs disabled by default for which
I could easily add a flag for rmtfs dependency in
rproc_hexagon_res in qcom_q6v5_mss driver and do qmi lookup only
if rmtfs is supported.

platform_set_drvdata(pdev, qproc);

Similar to the above comment: this should just be under the "if rproc"
condition -- also because in remove(), you only unregister these
callbacks if you have an rproc device.


I'll be moving qmi_lookup logic to qcom_q6v5_mss driver will fix
it there

You've got the error handling wrong here. You're doing the
rmtfs_mem->dev cleanup under the 'put_rproc' label, but you haven't even
started to initialize that device by now.

I can see there are some bad examples out there already to cheat off
of...but please don't just use magic nubmers like '14' here. There
should be a defined constant for this.


Yes, I'll make sure I add comments and the corresponding define

And while we're at it: why isn't there a common header for QMI service
IDs? Would be nice to list all the IDs that the kernel might be using,
in one place.

I can probably take this up as a separate task if its something
Bjorn wants cleaned up?
