commit a387e73fedd6307c0e194deaa53c42b153ff0bd6 upstream.

GLINK operates using pre-allocated buffers, aka intents, where incoming
messages are aggregated before being passed up the stack. In the case
that no suitable intents have been announced by the receiver, the sender
can request an intent to be allocated.

The initial implementation of the response to such request dealt
with two outcomes; granted allocations, and all other cases being
considered -ECANCELLED (likely from "cancelling the operation as the
remote is going down").

But on some channels intent allocation is not supported, instead the
remote will pre-allocate and announce a fixed number of intents for the
sender to use. If for such channels an rpmsg_send() is being invoked
before any channels have been announced, an intent request will be
issued and as this comes back rejected the call fails with -ECANCELED.

Given that this is reported in the same way as the remote being shut
down, there's no way for the client to differentiate the two cases.

In line with the original GLINK design, change the return value to
-EAGAIN for the case where the remote rejects an intent allocation
request.

It's tempting to handle this case in the GLINK core, as we expect
intents to show up in this case. But there's no way to distinguish
between this case and a rejection for a too big allocation, nor is it
possible to predict if a currently used (and seemingly suitable) intent
will be returned for reuse or not. As such, returning the error to the
client and allow it to react seems to be the only sensible solution.

In addition to this, commit 'c05dfce0b89e ("rpmsg: glink: Wait for
intent, not just request ack")' changed the logic such that the code
always wait for an intent request response and an intent. This works out
in most cases, but in the event that an intent request is rejected and no
further intent arrives (e.g. client asks for a too big intent), the code
will stall for 10 seconds and then return -ETIMEDOUT; instead of a more
suitable error.

This change also resulted in intent requests racing with the shutdown of
the remote would be exposed to this same problem, unless some intent
happens to arrive. A patch for this was developed and posted by Sarannya
S [1], and has been incorporated here.

To summarize, the intent request can end in 4 ways:
- Timeout, no response arrived =&gt; return -ETIMEDOUT
- Abort TX, the edge is going away =&gt; return -ECANCELLED
- Intent request was rejected =&gt; return -EAGAIN
- Intent request was accepted, and an intent arrived =&gt; return 0

This patch was developed with input from Sarannya S, Deepak Kumar Singh,
and Chris Lew.

Remote peripherals send signal notifications over glink with commandID 15.

Add support to send and receive the signal command and based signals
enable or disable flow control with remote host.

Some transports like Glink support the state notifications between
clients using flow control signals similar to serial protocol signals.
Local glink client drivers can send and receive flow control status
to glink clients running on remote processors.

Add APIs to support sending and receiving of flow control status by
rpmsg clients.

<title>rpmsg: qcom_smd: Use qcom_smem_is_available()</title>

Rather than looking up a dummy item from SMEM, use the new
qcom_smem_is_available() function to make the code more clear
(and reduce the overhead slightly).

Add the same check to qcom_smd_register_edge() as well to ensure that
it only succeeds if SMEM is already available - if a driver calls the
function and SMEM is not available yet then the initial state will be
read incorrectly and the RPMSG devices might never become available.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
  in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
  "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
  "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

  Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
  things:

   - kobject logging improvements

   - cacheinfo improvements and updates

   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

   - documentation updates

   - device property cleanups and const * changes

   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

* tag 'driver-core-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (120 commits)

  driver core: Don't require dynamic_debug for initcall_debug probe timing
  firmware_loader: rework crypto dependencies
  firmware_loader: Strip off \n from customized path
  zram: fix up permission for the hot_add sysfs file
  cacheinfo: Add use_arch[|_cache]_info field/function

  cacheinfo: Check cache properties are present in DT
