firmware: arm_ffa: Avoid queuing work when running on the worker queue (2024-04-25 12:27:55 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Arm FF-A updates for v6.10
1. Support for handling notification pending interrupt(NPI)
The FF-A uses the notification pending interrupt to inform the receiver
that it has a pending notification. This is a virtual interrupt and is
used by the following type of receivers:
- A guest/VM running under a hypervisor(normal world usecase)
- An S-EL1 SP running under a S-EL2 SPMC(secure world only usecase)
Also, when the FF-A driver is running inside a guest VM under an
hypervisor, the driver/guest VM doesn't have the permission/capability
to request the creation of notification bitmaps. For a VM, the hypervisor
reserves memory for its VM and hypervisor framework notification bitmaps
and the SPMC reserves memory for its SP and SPMC framework notification
bitmaps before the hypervisor initializes it.
These changes include skipping of creation of notification bitmaps, some
refactoring around schedule receiver interrupt(SRI) handling and addition
of support for NPI.
2. Support for FF-A indirect messaging
The FFA_MSG_SEND2 can be used to transmit a partition message from
the Tx buffer of the sender(the driver in this case) endpoint to the Rx
buffer of the receiver endpoint and inform the scheduler that the
receiver endpoint must be run.
Apart from these two main features, there is an optimisation to avoid
queuing of a work when already running on the worker queue.
