[PATCH v4 0/3] KVM: arm64: Separate the hyp FF-A buffers init from the host

From: Sebastian Ene
Date: Wed Mar 26 2025 - 07:41:53 EST


Hello,

This moves the initialization of the hypervisor FF-A buffers
away from the host FF-A map calling path. If the hypervisor
cannot map the buffers with Trustzone, it rejects any FF-A call
when it runs under protected mode.
Other than that it moves the definitions of the ffa_to_linux_err
map from the arm_ffa driver to the ffa header so that the hyp code
can make use of it.

*** Changelog ***

v3 -> this version:

- moved the definition of PARTITION_INFO_GET_RETURN_COUNT_ONLY from
the driver code to the arm_ffa header and dropped the definition
from the last patch.

v2 -> v3:

- dropped the "Map the hypervisor FF-A buffers on ffa init" patch
- added ack & reviewed-by tags
- don't release the ownership of the RX buffer if the flag from
FFA_GET_PARTITION is (1)

v1 -> v2:

Split the patch that maps the ff-a buffers of ffa init and introduce
"Move the ffa_to_linux definition to the ffa header".

Thanks,

firmware: arm_ffa: Move the ffa_to_linux definition to the ffa header
KVM: arm64: Release the ownership of the hyp rx buffer to Trustzone
