Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 09/12] greybus: cpc: acknowledge all incoming messages
Currently, CPC doesn't send messages on its own, it only prepends its
header to outgoing messages. This can lead to messages not being
acknowledged, for instance in the case of an SVC Ping
Host Device
SVC Ping (seq=X, ack=Y)
SVC Ping Reply (seq=Y, ack=X+1)
The "Ping Reply" is never acknowledged at the CPC level, which can lead
to retransmissions, or worst the device might think the link is broken
and do something to recover.
To prevent that scenario, an ack mechanism is implemented in the most
straightforward manner: send an ACK to all incoming messages. Here, two
flags need to be added:
- First, an ACK frame should not be passed to the Greybus layer, so a
"CONTROL" flag is added. If this flag is set, it means it's a control
messages and should stay at the CPC level. Currently there is only
one type of control frame, the standalone ack. Control messages have
the same format as Greybus operations.
- Second, ack themselves should not be acked, so to determine if a
message should be acked or not, a REQUEST_ACK flag is added.
