  • Call to rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() must be synchronized.
    In present code rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() is not protected with lock, therefore
    new char device creation can succeed through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() call. At the
    same time call to rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() function for ctrl device removal will
    free associated rpdev device. As char device creation already succeeded, user
    space is free to issue open() call which maps to rpmsg_create_ept() in kernel.
    rpmsg_create_ept() function tries to reference rpdev which has already been
    freed through rpmsg_ctrldev_remove(). Issue is predominantly seen in aggressive
    reboot tests where rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() can race with
    each other.

    Adding lock in rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() avoids any new char device creation
    through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() while remove call is already in progress.

  • Allow the user space application to create and release an rpmsg device
    by adding RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL and RPMSG_RELEASE_DEV_IOCTL ioctrls to
    the /dev/rpmsg_ctrl interface

    The RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL Ioctl can be used to instantiate a local rpmsg
    device.
    Depending on the back-end implementation, the associated rpmsg driver is
    probed and a NS announcement can be sent to the remote processor.

    The RPMSG_RELEASE_DEV_IOCTL allows the user application to release a
    rpmsg device created either by the remote processor or with the
    RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL call.
    Depending on the back-end implementation, the associated rpmsg driver is
    removed and a NS destroy rpmsg can be sent to the remote processor.

  • The rpmsg_chrdev driver has been replaced by the rpmsg_ctrl driver
    for the /dev/rpmsg_ctrlX devices management. The reference for the
    driver override is now the rpmsg_ctrl.

    Update the rpmsg_chrdev_register_device function to reflect the update,
    and rename the function to use the rpmsg_ctrldev prefix.

    The platform drivers are updated accordingly.

  • Create the rpmsg_ctrl.c module and move the code related to the
    rpmsg_ctrldev device in this new module.

    Add the dependency between rpmsg_char and rpmsg_ctrl in the
    kconfig file:

    1) RPMSG_CTRL can set as module or built-in if
    RPMSG=y || RPMSG_CHAR=y || RPMSG_CHAR=n

    2) RPMSG_CTRL can not be set as built-in if
    RPMSG=m || RPMSG_CHAR=m

    Note that RPMGH_CHAR and RPMSG_CTRL can be activated separately.
    Therefore, the RPMSG_CTRL configuration must be set for backwards compatibility.
