From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> This patch-set introduces a new virtio type "rproc_serial" for communicating with remote processors over shared memory.

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> I thought rebasing rproc_serial to linux-next was going to be trivial. But when starting the merge I realized that I had to refactor the the patches from Masami Hiramatsu. The splice support has the same issue as I faced, with different type of buffers in the out_vq. So I ended up refactoring the splice functionality. The code size

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Add a simple serial connection driver called VIRTIO_ID_RPROC_SERIAL (0xB) for communicating with a remote processor in an asymmetric multi-processing configuration.

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Add feature VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM. If the architecture has DMA support and this feature bit is set, the virtio data buffers will be allocated from DMA memory. If the device requests the feature VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM, but the architecture don't support DMA the driver's probe function will fail. This is needed for using

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Allow rproc serial ports to receive data before the port is connected. Rproc serial ports usually talk to very simple remote devices with no control queue managing open/close events. So we must let remote devices write to the virtio ring even if the device is not yet fully initialized. Signed-off-by: Sjur Br?ndeland

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Remove buffers from the out-queue when a port is removed. Rproc_serial communicates with remote processors that may crash and leave buffers in the out-queue. The virtio serial ports may have buffers in the out-queue as well, e.g. for non-blocking ports and the host didn't consume them yet. [Amit: Remove WARN_ON for generic ports
