Introduce a FLAG for the restricted memory which means the memory
is
protected by TEE or hypervisor, then it's inaccessiable for kernel.

Currently we don't use sg_dma_unmark_restricted, thus this
interface
has not been added.
Why should that be part of the scatterlist? It doesn't seem to
affect
any of it's functionality.

As far as I can see the scatterlist shouldn't be the transport of
this
kind of information.
Thanks for the review. I will remove this.

In our user scenario, DRM will import these buffers and check if this
is a restricted buffer. If yes, it will use secure GCE takes over.

If this judgment is not suitable to be placed in scatterlist. I don't
know if it is ok to limit this inside dma-buf. Adding such an
interface:

static bool dma_buf_is_restricted(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
{
	return !strncmp(dmabuf->exp_name, "restricted", 10);
}

No, usually stuff like that doesn't belong into DMA buf either.

Question here really is who controls the security status of the memory backing the buffer?

In other words who tells the exporter that it should allocate and fill a buffer with encrypted data?

If that is userspace then that is part of the format information and it is also userspace who should tell the importer that it needs to work with encrypted data.

The kernel is intentionally not involved in stuff like that.

Christian.



Thanks.

Christian.
