Bjorn Andersson 5fdeb0d372 net: qrtr: Implement outgoing flow control
In order to prevent overconsumption of resources on the remote side QRTR
implements a flow control mechanism.

The mechanism works by the sender keeping track of the number of
outstanding unconfirmed messages that has been transmitted to a
particular node/port pair.

Upon count reaching a low watermark (L) the confirm_rx bit is set in the
outgoing message and when the count reaching a high watermark (H)
transmission will be blocked upon the reception of a resume_tx message
from the remote, that resets the counter to 0.

This guarantees that there will be at most 2H - L messages in flight.
Values chosen for L and H are 5 and 10 respectively.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
