The ICMSG backend now has a dedicated workqueue to process incoming IPC messages. The system workqueue is no longer utilized for that purpose. Testing shows that in certain scenarios substituting a RPMsg backend with ICMsg results in deadlocks. The deadlocks were a symptom of running a synchronous RPC protocol from the context of the system workqueue and transpired as follows: 1. The RPC protocol sends a request over the ICMsg backend on the system workqueue thread. 2. The RPC protocol puts the thread to sleep until response is received. This puts the system workqueue thread to sleep. 3. The response to the request arrives over ICMsg backend. 4. The backend signals a work item to the system workqueue. 5. The system workqueue is unable to process the response due to being previously pended on the RPC request. The deadlock was initially observed with the nrf-802154 driver in conjuntion with the IPv6 stack. To prevent this condition from occurring, the approach was selected to give ICMsg a dedicated workqueue thread. Added a Kconfig option that enables the dedicated workqueue by default. The config can be disabled, if the user wants to preserve RAM capacity and is certain that the deadlock condition is not encountered. Signed-off-by: Rafał Kuźnia <rafal.kuznia@nordicsemi.no> |

The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting
multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices,
and built with security in mind.
The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on
resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and
LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.
The Zephyr kernel supports multiple architectures, including ARM (Cortex-A,
Cortex-R, Cortex-M), Intel x86, ARC, Nios II, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V,
SPARC, MIPS, and a large number of `supported boards`_.
