Instead of having a vendor specific binding for cma area, How about retrieving
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1594948208-4739-1-git-send-email-hayashi.kunihiko@socionext.com/ ?
dma_heap_add_cma can just associate cma region and create a heap. So, we can reuse cma heap
code for allocation instead of replicating that code here.

Thanks,
Vijay

Thanks for the reference. I guess we can't use it. There are two
reasons:
  
a) The secure heap driver is a pure software driver and we have no
device for it, therefore we cannot call dma_heap_add_cma.
  
b) The CMA area here is dynamic for SVP. Normally this CMA can be used
in the kernel. In the SVP case we use cma_alloc to get it and pass the
entire CMA physical start address and size into TEE to protect the CMA
region. The original CMA heap cannot help with the TEE part.

Thanks.

Hi Yong,

We're considering using struct cma as the function argument to
dma_heap_add_cma() rather than struct device. Would this help
resolve the problem of usage with dma_heap_add_cma()?

Referring the conversation at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7a2995de23c24ef22c071c6976c02b97e9b50126.camel@mediatek.com/;

since we're considering abstracting secure mem ops, would it make sense
to use the default CMA heap ops (cma_heap_ops), allocate buffers from it
and secure each allocated buffer?

Thanks,
Jaskaran.

Yes. If we use "struct cma", I guess it works.

Then it looks you also need tee operation like tee_client_open_session
and tee_client_invoke_func, right?

It seems we also need change a bit for "cma_heap_allocate" to allow cma
support operations from secure heap.

I will send a v2 to move the discussion forward. The v2 is based on our
case, It won't include the cma part.

Great; I've posted a v2[1] for the API incorporating this change.

CMA is a Linux thing. How is this related to CMA?

What makes this specific to Mediatek? Secure video path is fairly

Here we just reserve a buffer and would like to create a dma-buf secure
heap for SVP, then the secure engines(Vcodec and DRM) could prepare
secure buffer through it.
 
But the heap driver is pure SW driver, it is not platform device and
we don't have a corresponding HW unit for it. Thus I don't think I
could create a platform dtsi node and use "memory-region" pointer to
the region. I used RESERVEDMEM_OF_DECLARE currently(The code is in 
[9/9]). Sorry if this is not right.

Then in our usage case, is there some similar method to do this? or
any other suggestion?
 
Appreciate in advance.

If this is not for any hardware and you already understand this (since
you cannot use other bindings) then you cannot have custom bindings for
it either.

Don't stuff software into DTS.

Aren't most reserved-memory bindings just software policy if you look at 
it that way, though? IIUC this is a pool of memory that is visible and 
available to the Non-Secure OS, but is fundamentally owned by the Secure 
TEE, and pages that the TEE allocates from it will become physically 
inaccessible to the OS. Thus the platform does impose constraints on how 
the Non-Secure OS may use it, and per the rest of the reserved-memory 
bindings, describing it as a "reusable" reservation seems entirely 
appropriate. If anything that's *more* platform-related and so 
DT-relevant than typical arbitrary reservations which just represent 
"save some memory to dedicate to a particular driver" and don't actually 
bear any relationship to firmware or hardware at all.

However, the fact that Linux's implementation of how to reuse reserved 
memory areas is called CMA is indeed still irrelevant and has no place 
in the binding itself.

Thanks,
Robin.
