At present, the shared memory for TEE ring buffer, command buffer and
data buffer is allocated using get_free_pages(). The driver shares the
physical address of these buffers with PSP so that it can be mapped by
the Trusted OS.

In this patch series we have replaced get_free_pages() with
dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate shared memory to cleanup the existing
allocation method.
Thanks for putting this together but I can't find the reasoning behind
this change neither in this commit message and nor in the patch
descriptions. Care to explain why?

Hi Sumit,

We see that there is an advantage in using dma_alloc_coherent() over get_free_pages(). The dma-ops associated with PSP PCIe device can be overridden. This capability will be helpful when we enable virtualization support. We plan to post a virtualization related patch in future.

Jeshwanth
