Revision 1f0d22defd59f603d63ba51483eeb8d72726ce8b authored by Harald Freudenberger on 30 June 2021, 14:10:56 UTC, committed by Vasily Gorbik on 08 July 2021, 13:37:27 UTC
Rework of the ap_dqap() inline function with the dqap inline assembler
invocation and the caller code in ap_queue.c to be able to handle
replies which exceed the receive buffer size.

ap_dqap() now provides two additional parameters to handle together
with the caller the case where a reply in the firmware queue entry
exceeds the given message buffer size. It depends on the caller how to
exactly handle this. The behavior implemented now by ap_sm_recv() in
ap_queue.c is to simple purge this entry from the firmware queue and
let the caller 'receive' a -EMSGSIZE for the request without
delivering any reply data - not even a truncated reply message.

However, the reworked ap_dqap() could now get invoked in a way that
the message is received in multiple parts and the caller assembles the
parts into one reply message.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
