greybus: loopback: Add asynchronous bi-directional support
A particular ask from the firmware people for some time now has been the
ability to drive multiple outstanding bi-directional operations from
loopback to loopback Interfaces. This patch implments that change.
The approach taken is to make a call to gb_operation_send() and have
loopback capture the completion callback itself, with a parallel timer to
timeout completion callbacks that take too long. The calling thread will
issue each gb_operation_send() as fast as it can within the constraints of
thread-safety.
In order to support this addition the following new sysfs entries are
created on a per-connection basis.
- async
Zero indicates loopback should use the traditional synchronous model
i.e. gb_operation_request_send_sync().
Non-zero indicates loopback should use the new asynchronous model i.e.
gb_operation_send()
- requests_completed
This value indicates the number of requests successfully completed.
- requests_timedout
This value indicates the number of requests which timed out.
- timeout
The number of microseconds to give an individual asynchronous request
before timing that request out.
- timeout_min
Read-only attribute informs user-space of the minimum allowed timeout.
- timeout_max
Read-only attribute informs user-space of the maximum allowed timeout.
Note requests_completed + requests_timedout should always equal
iteration_max, once iteration_count == iteration_max. Also, at this time we
support either synchronous or asynchronous operations in one set of
transactions.
