I need to know the imported buffer is allocated from restricted cma and mark it as a secure buffer in mediatek-drm driver. Then, I will add some configuration to the hardware if the buffer is secure buffer, so that it can get the permission to access the secure buffer.
Yeah so far that makes sense. This is basically what other drivers do with secure buffers as well.
But why do you want the kernel to transport that information? Usually drivers get the information from userspace what to do with a buffer.
In other words the format, stride, tilling and also if it's a secure buffer or not comes from userspace.
What the hardware usually handles internally is things like encryption keys, but you eventually get the information where to look for the key from userspace as well.
Handling inside the kernel would only be necessary if userspace could for example crash the system with invalid parameters. But for encryption that is usually not the case.

You mean I should allocate buffer in mediate-drm driver not userspace?
Well that depends. The question is if you have multiple drivers which needs to work with this secure buffer?
If yes then you should have a general allocation heap for it. If no then the buffers could as well be allocated from the driver interface directly.
I just have modified this to userspace by the comment here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20240403102701.369-3-shawn.sung@xxxxxxxxxxxx/#25806766 > > I think I have the same problem as the ECC_FLAG mention in: > > > > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20240515-dma-buf-ecc-heap-v1-0-54cbbd049511@xxxxxxxxxx/ > > > > I think it would be better to have the user configurable private > > information in dma-buf, so all the drivers who have the same > > requirement can get their private information from dma-buf directly > > and > > no need to change or add the interface. > > > > What's your opinion in this point? > > Well of hand I don't see the need for that. > > What happens if you get a non-secure buffer imported in your secure > device? We use the same mediatek-drm driver for secure and non-secure buffer. If non-secure buffer imported to mediatek-drm driver, it's go to the normal flow with normal hardware settings. We use different configurations to make hardware have different permission to access the buffer it should access. So if we can't get the information of "the buffer is allocated from restricted_mtk_cma" when importing the buffer into the driver, we won't be able to configure the hardware correctly.
Why can't you get this information from userspace?
