This event is a priority one, so it's not safe to have it use the RX buffer pool which may be depleted due to non-priority events (e.g. advertising events). Since the event is consumed synchronously it's safe to have a single-buffer pool for it. Also introduce a new bt_buf_get_evt() API for HCI drivers to simplify the driver-side code, this effectively also deprecates bt_buf_get_cmd_complete() which now has no in-tree HCI driver users anymore. Fixes zephyrproject-rtos#16864 Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <[email protected]>
Introduce a separate buffer pool for events which the HCI driver considers discardable. Examples of such events could be e.g. Advertising Reports. The benefit of having such a pool means that the if there is a heavy inflow of such events it will not cause the allocation for other critical events to block and may even eliminate deadlocks in some cases. Also update all mesh samples not to specify explicit RX buffer counts anymore. Instead, create appropriate defaults in Kconfig so that we only need to override this in the app for cases like the bbc:microbit with limited memory. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <[email protected]>
