/*
 * For sizing our buffers etc in the rvinterf suite, including the local
 * UNIX domain socket protocol between rvinterf and fc-tmsh etc, we need
 * to have some limits on the message sizes in both host->target and
 * target->host directions.
 *
 * For the host->target direction, the choice of message size limit is
 * easy: the packet Rx code in RVT on the target side also has a limit
 * (quite naturally, as it needs to use a static buffer to reassemble
 * incoming packets as they arrive at the UART in unpredictable interrupt-
 * sized chunks), so we set our limit to match that in RVT.
 */

#define	MAX_PKT_TO_TARGET	255

/*
 * In the other direction (target->host), there is no fixed limit
 * definition easily visible in the target fw code: any fw component
 * can call rvt_send_trace_cpy() or rvt_mem_alloc() followed by
 * rvt_send_trace_no_cpy(), or some higher-level API that reduces to
 * these functions, with a message of any size, subject only to memory
 * limits, which obviously aren't as strict as a #define'd maximum
 * message size.  Hence in this direction we use our own arbitrary
 * choice of size limit.

#define	MAX_PKT_FROM_TARGET	512

/*
 * Both limit definitions above counts all bytes between the opening and
 * closing STX flags, but not DLEs inserted for binary transparency.
