[PATCH v2 00/16] remoteproc: add fixed memory region support

From: Loic Pallardy
Date: Thu Nov 30 2017 - 11:50:08 EST


The aim of the series is to implement carveout memory management as
discussed during OpenAMP weekly call and defined in proposed document [1]

This first series focus only on adding support of the different types of
carveout memories (dynamic, fixed, platform driver depend...).
64bit resource table will be addressed in a next series.

Changes since V1:
- Minor corrections on first 7 patches (error management)
- Add "memory device" support on the top of first 7 patches.
Goal is to answer use case reported during OpenAMP weekly discussion:
- "Be able to specify memory region for vring and buffer allocation, even
if no specific request defined in firmware resource table."
Patches offer the capability to create a "memory device" associated to a
carveout with a dedicated DMA memory pool. Different resource handlers are
modified to look-up for specific carveout by name. If match found and associated
"memory device" present, device is used instead of rproc platform device for
allocation.

remoteproc: modify rproc_handle_carveout to support preallocated
region
remoteproc: modify vring allocation to support preallocated region
remoteproc: st: add reserved memory support
remoteproc: add name in rproc_mem_entry struct
