[PATCH v7 3/3] remoteproc: Add recovery configuration to the sysfs interface

From: Rishabh Bhatnagar
Date: Fri Oct 02 2020 - 14:09:42 EST


Add recovery configuration to the sysfs interface. This will
allow usage of this configuration feature in production
devices where access to debugfs might be limited.

+Description: Remote processor recovery mechanism
+
+ Reports the recovery mechanism of the remote processor,
+ which will be one of:
+
+ "enabled"
+ "disabled"
+
+ "enabled" means, the remote processor will be automatically
+ recovered whenever it crashes. Moreover, if the remote
+ processor crashes while recovery is disabled, it will
+ be automatically recovered too as soon as recovery is enabled.
+
+ "disabled" means, a remote processor will remain in a crashed
+ state if it crashes. This is useful for debugging purposes;
+ without it, debugging a crash is substantially harder.

+ * By writing to the 'recovery' sysfs entry, we control the behavior of the

+ * enabled: When enabled, the remote processor will be automatically
+ * recovered whenever it crashes. Moreover, if the remote
+ * processor crashes while recovery is disabled, it will

+ *
+ * recover: This function will trigger an immediate recovery if the
+ * remote processor is in a crashed state, without changing
+ * or checking the recovery state (enabled/disabled).
+ * This is useful during debugging sessions, when one expects
+ * additional crashes to happen after enabling recovery. In this
+ * case, enabling recovery will make it hard to debug subsequent
+ * crashes, so it's recommended to keep recovery disabled, and
+ * instead use the "recover" command as needed.
