[PATCH 2/2] firmware: qcom: scm: fall back to kcalloc() for no SCM device bound

[PATCH 2/2] firmware: qcom: scm: fall back to kcalloc() for no SCM device bound
Posted by Bartosz Golaszewski 2 months, 3 weeks ago 
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

Older platforms don't have an actual SCM device tied into the driver
model and so there's no struct device which to use with the TZ Mem API.
We need to fall-back to kcalloc() when allocating the buffer for
additional SMC arguments on such platforms which don't even probe the SCM
driver and never create the TZMem pool.

Fixes: 449d0d84bcd8 ("firmware: qcom: scm: smc: switch to using the SCM allocator")

I'm a little concerned about this check. I didn't think making SCM calls
without the SCM device probed was possible until this report. We do
worry about that in the downstream kernel. So, I'm not sure if this
scenario is currently possible in the upstream kernel.

It's possible that some driver makes SCM call in parallel to SCM device
probing. Then, it might be possible for qcom_scm_get_tzmem_pool() to
return NULL at beginning of function and then a valid pointer by the
time we're freeing the ptr.

MSM8960 and MSM8660 don't have SCM devices. For MSM8960 it should be
trivial to get it, c&p from apq8064 should. For MSM8660 it might be a
bit harder. But even if we add such nodes, we shouldn't break existing
DT files.

I'm wondering about how to approach an eventual refactoring and I'm
thinking that for platforms that are known to have DTs out there
without the node, we could exceptionally instantiate the SCM device
when the module is loaded? And then modify the driver to require the
provider to have an actual struct device attached.

Thanks! In any case, this series should still be merged to not break
existing users (even if the kcalloc() fallback will be removed once we
do the refactoring).

Might make sense. We should be able to test in on APQ8060 = MSM8660.

I didn't know about this either. And I think this should be fixed.

That being said: qcom-msm8960.dtsi doesn't have any SCM node and
there's no such compatible in the driver so it looks real.

Also: some of the calls seem to be ready for this and they check
whether __scm is set and use a NULL struct device pointer if not.

I thought the SCM module is initialized at subsys_initcall() exactly
for that reason? Because if the above can happen then we have more
problems than just that. What if we enable SHM bridge during probe?
I'm not even sure what would happen to SCM calls in progress that were
passed regular buffers before.

I think the SCM driver should be improved and not allow calls until it's probed.

Considering all SoCs that would be allowed on a roller coaster by age now
are supposed not to need this patch.. perhaps this isn't a hot enough
path for static branches, but I'd say some likely() hints could be used
here..
