The rx_data pointer can be used by IPC implementations to pass the received message (or part of the message, like the header) from platform code to generic, high level IPC code. IPC4 is going to be the first user of this as its implementation on Intel platforms detaches the header and payload and the rx cannot be handled in a similar way as it is implemented for ipc3. If the rx_data is dynamically allocated, it is up to the platform code to free it up. After the message reception handling (rx_msg ops) returned, the pointer via the msg->rx_data should be considered as invalid.

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.
