firmware: arm_ffa: Reject higher major version as incompatible

2025-06-04T12:42:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit efff6a7f16b34fd902f342b58bd8bafc2d6f2fd1 ] When the firmware compatibility was handled previously in the commit 8e3f9da608f1 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Handle compatibility with different firmware versions"), we only addressed firmware versions that have higher minor versions compared to the driver version which is should be considered compatible unless the firmware returns NOT_SUPPORTED. However, if the firmware reports higher major version than the driver supported, we need to reject it. If the firmware can work in a compatible mode with the driver requested version, it must return the same major version as requested.

firmware: arm_ffa: Skip Rx buffer ownership release if not acquired

2025-05-09T07:44:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4567bdaaaaa1744da3d7da07d9aca2f941f5b4e5 ] Completion of the FFA_PARTITION_INFO_GET ABI transfers the ownership of the caller’s Rx buffer from the producer(typically partition mnager) to the consumer(this driver/OS). FFA_RX_RELEASE transfers the ownership from the consumer back to the producer. However, when we set the flag to just return the count of partitions deployed in the system corresponding to the specified UUID while invoking FFA_PARTITION_INFO_GET, the Rx buffer ownership shouldn't be transferred to this driver. We must be able to skip transferring back the ownership to the partition manager when we request just to get the count of the partitions as the buffers are not acquired in this case. Firmware may return FFA_RET_DENIED or other error for the ffa_rx_release() in such cases.

firmware: arm_ffa: Allow the FF-A drivers to use 32bit mode of messaging

2023-11-20T10:59:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d698e8b4fd22374dac0a2d5150ab24d57a222ab ] An FF-A ABI could support both the SMC32 and SMC64 conventions. A callee that runs in the AArch64 execution state and implements such an ABI must implement both SMC32 and SMC64 conventions of the ABI. So the FF-A drivers will need the option to choose the mode irrespective of FF-A version and the partition execution mode flag in the partition information. Let us remove the check on the FF-A version for allowing the selection of 32bit mode of messaging. The driver will continue to set the 32-bit mode if the partition execution mode flag specified that the partition supports only 32-bit execution.

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

2023-11-20T10:59:16+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.

firmware: arm_ffa: Don't set the memory region attributes for MEM_LEND

2023-09-25T18:43:49+00:00

As per the FF-A specification: section "Usage of other memory region attributes", in a transaction to donate memory or lend memory to a single borrower, if the receiver is a PE or Proxy endpoint, the owner must not specify the attributes and the relayer will return INVALID_PARAMETERS if the attributes are set. Let us not set the memory region attributes for MEM_LEND.

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. The handle field is one of these, but it was left out from that change, fix this now.

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

2023-05-08T19:40:46+00:00

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

2023-05-08T19:40:46+00:00

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: Fix usage of partition info get count flag

2023-05-08T19:40:46+00:00

Commit bb1be7498500 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Add v1.1 get_partition_info support") adds support to discovery the UUIDs of the partitions or just fetch the partition count using the PARTITION_INFO_GET_RETURN_COUNT_ONLY flag. However the commit doesn't handle the fact that the older version doesn't understand the flag and must be MBZ which results in firmware returning invalid parameter error. That results in the failure of the driver probe which is in correct. Limit the usage of the PARTITION_INFO_GET_RETURN_COUNT_ONLY flag for the versions above v1.0(i.e v1.1 and onwards) which fixes the issue.
