[PATCH v2] tee: optee: Fix supplicant wait loop

From: Sumit Garg
Date: Mon Feb 03 2025 - 03:00:58 EST


OP-TEE supplicant is a user-space daemon and it's possible for it
being hung or crashed or killed in the middle of processing an OP-TEE
RPC call. It becomes more complicated when there is incorrect shutdown
ordering of the supplicant process vs the OP-TEE client application which
can eventually lead to system hang-up waiting for the closure of the
client application.

Allow the client process waiting in kernel for supplicant response to
be killed rather than indefinitetly waiting in an unkillable state. This
fixes issues observed during system reboot/shutdown when supplicant got
hung for some reason or gets crashed/killed which lead to client getting
hung in an unkillable state. It in turn lead to system being in hung up
state requiring hard power off/on to recover.

Fixes: 4fb0a5eb364d ("tee: add OP-TEE driver")

Changes in v2:
- Switch to killable wait instead as suggested by Arnd instead
of supplicant timeout. It atleast allow the client to wait for
supplicant in killable state which in turn allows system to reboot
or shutdown gracefully.
