Hi Cristian,

thanks for your review. I agree that some changes to the patch series
are needed to move it beyond RFC state. Please see individual responses
below.

Best regards,

I think I should remove the xfer->[tr]x.buf manipulation from the patch.
In my understanding, this is one, or even the, major source of problems.
It would have saved a few kiB of memory and avoided copying between
scmi_xfer buffers and dedicated virtio queue buffers. But we can just
introduce dedicated virtio buffers and copy, in lieu of a better idea.

As for the rest, if you don't like any of the scmi_xfer related logic to
be inside virtio.c, maybe we can move that logic into a new msg.c for
message-based communication, similar to shm.c for shmem-based
communication?

The msg.c logic would then mostly be called from the callback ops, just
like shm.c. I think we should retain some transport private pointer in
scmi_xfer to help with potential concurrent or out-of-order message
processing by the virtio device (access to the private pointer can be
abstracted). Otherwise I'm concerned that in some callback ops it would
be difficult for the virtio transport to determine which message is
being addressed.

If you agree on this, do you think that OpenSynergy could already start
implementing the aforementioned msg.c, or should we better wait for your
refactored interface?

The point of the device_link_add() is just to make the relation between
the devices apparent in sysfs. It should show up in sysfs as described here:

OK.

ATM the SCMI core will not call these callbacks before link_supplier()
was successful, so we could indeed omit the second and third early
return in each of the callbacks. It seemed more robust to leave them in,
though.

In case it doesn't get obsoleted by interface changes, I will add some
additional comments to make clearer what is going on here.

In my understanding that association could still be determined.

Per-protocol channels were deliberately omitted, since we saw little
benefit for virtio. In my understanding, it would only help to avoid
that one protocol monopolizes the channel by sending many messages or
causing many notifications.

I think some of the patches will no longer be needed in the future. I
would expect at least the following to go away:
