[PATCH v4 0/3] misc: fastrpc: fix ADSP duplicate session creation
From: Vinayak Katoch
Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 09:27:33 EST
For ADSP, only a limited number of FastRPC context banks (CBs) are
available. Each CB supports a single session, which means only a few
processes can run on ADSP simultaneously. If all sessions are consumed
by fastrpc daemons, no session remains available when a user application
starts, causing the application to fail.
To work around this, some DT set:
qcom,nsessions = <5>;
which duplicated sessions inline during context bank initialisation.
Upstream feedback indicated that this policy does not belong in DT and
should be handled at the driver level instead.
This series iterates over CB child nodes directly and synchronously,
replacing of_platform_populate(), and moves the ADSP session duplication
to the driver. The qcom,nsessions binding is deprecated in the same
series.
