[PATCH 3/3] mmc: block: ioctl: Add error aggregation flag

From: Christian Löhle
Date: Wed Apr 05 2023 - 07:57:54 EST


Userspace currently has no way of checking for error bits of
detection mode X. These are error bits that are only detected by
the card when executing the command. For e.g. a sanitize operation
this may be minutes after the RSP was seen by the host.

Currently userspace programs cannot see these error bits reliably.
They could issue a multi ioctl cmd with a CMD13 immediately following
it, but since errors of detection mode X are automatically cleared
(they are all clear condition B).
mmc_poll_for_busy of the first ioctl may have already hidden such an
error flag.

In case of the security operations: sanitize, secure erases and
RPMB writes, this could lead to the operation not being performed
successfully by the card with the user not knowing.
If the user trusts that this operation is completed
(e.g. their data is sanitized), this could be a security issue.
An attacker could e.g. provoke a eMMC (VCC) flash fail, where a
successful sanitize of a card is not possible. A card may move out
of PROG state but issue a bit 19 R1 error.

This patch therefore will also have the consequence of a mmc-utils
patch, which enables the bit for the security-sensitive operations.
