firmware: arm_ffa: Skip free_pages on RX buffer alloc failure

2026-06-01T15:35:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 09527e2c534911619d7e098729711100290bc3e1 ] If the RX buffer allocation fails in ffa_init(), the error path jumps to free_pages even though no buffer has been allocated yet. Route that case directly to free_drv_info so the cleanup path is only used after at least one RX/TX buffer allocation has succeeded.

firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration

2026-06-01T15:35:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0a5e695095c557d2380131b613dea4e8d90371be ] The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an id_table and dereferences it unconditionally. Enforce that contract at registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during match.

firmware: arm_ffa: Assign the missing IDR allocation ID to the FFA device

2023-11-20T10:08:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7d0bc6360f17ea323ab25939a34857123d7d87e5 ] Commit 19b8766459c4 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical partitions") added an ID to the FFA device using ida_alloc() and append the same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. However it missed to stash the id value in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.

[ Upstream commit 3aa0519a4780f1b8e11966bd879d4a2934ba455f ] As described in the commit 111a833dc5cb ("firmware: arm_ffa: Set reserved/MBZ fields to zero in the memory descriptors") some fields in the memory descriptor have to be zeroed explicitly.

firmware: arm_ffa: Set reserved/MBZ fields to zero in the memory descriptors

2023-05-30T12:55:33+00:00

commit 111a833dc5cbef3d05b2a796a7e23cb7f6ff2192 upstream. The transmit buffers allocated by the driver can be used to transmit data by any messages/commands needing the buffer. However, it is not guaranteed to have been zero-ed before every new transmission and hence it will just contain residual value from the previous transmission. There are several reserved fields in the memory descriptors that must be zero(MBZ). The receiver can reject the transmission if any such MBZ fields are non-zero. While we can set the whole page to zero, it is not optimal as most of the fields get initialised to the value required for the current transmission. So, just set the reserved/MBZ fields to zero in the memory descriptors explicitly to honour the requirement and keep the receiver happy.

firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical partitions

2023-05-30T12:55:32+00:00

commit 19b8766459c41c6f318f8a548cc1c66dffd18363 upstream. Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID. Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions. However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information. The kernel complains with the below message: | sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/arm-ffa-8001' | CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7 #8 | Hardware name: FVP Base RevC (DT) | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0xf8/0x118 | show_stack+0x18/0x24 | dump_stack_lvl+0x50/0x68 | dump_stack+0x18/0x24 | sysfs_create_dir_ns+0xe0/0x13c | kobject_add_internal+0x220/0x3d4 | kobject_add+0x94/0x100 | device_add+0x144/0x5d8 | device_register+0x20/0x30 | ffa_device_register+0x88/0xd8 | ffa_setup_partitions+0x108/0x1b8 | ffa_init+0x2ec/0x3a4 | do_one_initcall+0xcc/0x240 | do_initcall_level+0x8c/0xac | do_initcalls+0x54/0x94 | do_basic_setup+0x1c/0x28 | kernel_init_freeable+0x100/0x16c | kernel_init+0x20/0x1a0 | ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 | kobject_add_internal failed for arm-ffa-8001 with -EEXIST, don't try to | register things with the same name in the same directory. | arm_ffa arm-ffa: unable to register device arm-ffa-8001 err=-17 | ARM FF-A: ffa_setup_partitions: failed to register partition ID 0x8001 By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes it hard to use the same for the device name. So to keep it simple, let us alloc an ID using ida_alloc() and append the same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. Also stash the id value in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.

firmware: arm_ffa: Check if ffa_driver remove is present before executing

commit b71b55248a580e9c9befc4ae060539f1f8e477da upstream. Currently ffa_drv->remove() is called unconditionally from ffa_device_remove(). Since the driver registration doesn't check for it and allows it to be registered without .remove callback, we need to check for the presence of it before executing it from ffa_device_remove() to above a NULL pointer dereference like the one below: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 | Mem abort info: | ESR = 0x0000000086000004 | EC = 0x21: IABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits | SET = 0, FnV = 0 | EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 | FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault | user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000881cc8000 | [0000000000000000] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 | Internal error: Oops: 0000000086000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP | CPU: 3 PID: 130 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7 #6 | Hardware name: FVP Base RevC (DT) | pstate: 63402809 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO +TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=-c) | pc : 0x0 | lr : ffa_device_remove+0x20/0x2c | Call trace: | 0x0 | device_release_driver_internal+0x16c/0x260 | driver_detach+0x90/0xd0 | bus_remove_driver+0xdc/0x11c | driver_unregister+0x30/0x54 | ffa_driver_unregister+0x14/0x20 | cleanup_module+0x18/0xeec | __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x234/0x378 | invoke_syscall+0x40/0x108 | el0_svc_common+0xb4/0xf0 | do_el0_svc+0x30/0xa4 | el0_svc+0x2c/0x7c | el0t_64_sync_handler+0x84/0xf0 | el0t_64_sync+0x190/0x194 Fixes: 244f5d597e1e ("firmware: arm_ffa: Add missing remove callback to ffa_bus_type") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230419-ffa_fixes_6-4-v2-1-d9108e43a176@arm.com Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: arm_ffa: Remove incorrect assignment of driver_data

2022-06-09T08:23:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 00512d2930b338fdd42bd90bbd1793fe212c2d31 ] The ffa core driver currently assigns its own driver information to individual ffa device driver_data which is wrong. Firstly, it leaks this core driver information to individual ffa_device and hence to ffa_driver. Secondly the ffa_device driver_data is for use by individual ffa_driver and not for this core driver managing all those devices.

firmware: arm_ffa: Fix uuid parameter to ffa_partition_probe

[ Upstream commit f3c45c045e25ed52461829d2ce07954f72b6ad15 ] While we pass uuid_null intentionally to ffa_partition_probe in ffa_setup_partitions to get the count of the partitions, it must not be uuid_null in ffa_partition_info_get which is used by the ffa_drivers to fetch the specific partition info passing the UUID of the partition. Fix ffa_partition_info_get by passing the received uuid down to ffa_partition_probe so that the correct partition information is fetched.
