This needs a detailed explanation as to why the check that the other end is ready is unnecessary.

Okay. Patch 1. In the multi core of lower power device, when one of core enters sleep, it needs to put its corresponding share memory into retention mode to save power consumption. Based on the limitations of the chip design, when the CPU to which share memory belongs goes to sleep, the share memory enters the retention mode, and other cores will not be able to access it. When the share memory divides tx shm and rx shm and the core of tx shm and rx shm are different, so that when one CPU sleeps, the other CPU can still access its own tx shm. Patch 2. Base 1, The call of rproc_virtio_get_status will access the resource table, but the resource table only belongs to the shm of one of the CPUs, so after sleep, the other CPU cannot access it, so we don't to check the status for rpmsg_virtio_get_tx_payload_buffer every times. |

BTW, the boot already check the status flag: |

To help could you detail your memory mapping to understand in which memory are your shared structures?
which CPU put the memory in retention: both or only one core ( in this case is it the host or the remote processor?) |
Let's name CPU A(master) and B(slave).
SRAM A
tx: SRAM A
SRAM B
SRAM A
SRAM B
both, SRAM A and B can enter the retention state independently. |

Thanks for the details. |

The PR seems to me valid. Few comments/concerns to address.

The const struct rpmsg_virtio_config *config param is mising

Looks good to me. I appreciate the commit message explaining why this code is needed.
