The IPC drivers rpmsg_service and rpmsg_multi_instance are not explicitly enabling the IPM channels when two different devices are used for TX and RX. While this could be redundant for some IPM drivers, in some cases the hardware needs to be enabled before using it. Add the missing calls to ipm_set_enabled() for both the devices.

Enabling procedure of IPM in nrfx multi instance implementation verified if given instance is configure as RX. If not it returned an error. Configuring an instance as TX is correct and enabling procedure should work for such configuration. This patch allows enabling IPM channels configured as TX.

This patch reworks how fragments are handled in the net_buf infrastructure. In particular, it removes the union around the node and frags members in the main net_buf structure. This is done so that both can be used at the same time, at a cost of 4 bytes per net_buf instance. This implies that the layout of net_buf instances changes whenever being inserted into a queue (fifo or lifo) or a linked list (slist). Until now, this is what happened when enqueueing a net_buf with frags in a queue or linked list: 1.1 Before enqueueing: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |#1 node|\ |#2 node|\ |#3 node|\ | | \ | | \ | | \ | frags |------| frags |------| frags |------NULL +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ net_buf #1 has 2 fragments, net_bufs #2 and #3. Both the node and frags pointers (they are the same, since they are unioned) point to the next fragment. 1.2 After enqueueing: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |q/slist |------|#1 node|------|#2 node|------|#3 node|------|q/slist | |node | | *flag | / | *flag | / | | / |node | | | | frags |/ | frags |/ | frags |/ | | +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ When enqueing a net_buf (in this case #1) that contains fragments, the current net_buf implementation actually enqueues all the fragments (in this case #2 and #3) as actual queue/slist items, since node and frags are one and the same in memory. This makes the enqueuing operation expensive and it makes it impossible to atomically dequeue. The `*flag` notation here means that the `flags` member has been set to `NET_BUF_FRAGS` in order to be able to reconstruct the frags pointers when dequeuing. After this patch, the layout changes considerably: 2.1 Before enqueueing: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |#1 node|--NULL |#2 node|--NULL |#3 node|--NULL | | | | | | | frags |-------| frags |-------| frags |------NULL +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ This is very similar to 1.1, except that now node and frags are different pointers, so node is just set to NULL. 2.2 After enqueueing: +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |q/slist |-------|#1 node|-------|q/slist | |node | | | |node | | | | frags | | | +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ | +--------+ +--------+ | |#2 node|--NULL |#3 node|--NULL | | | | | +------------| frags |-------| frags |------NULL +--------+ +--------+ When enqueuing net_buf #1, now we only enqueue that very item, instead of enqueing the frags as well, since now node and frags are separate pointers. This simplifies the operation and makes it atomic. Resolves zephyrproject-rtos#52718. Signed-off-by: Carles Cufi <[email protected]>
