\ > Subject: [PATCH v6 0/9] Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem > > > Few storage technologies such is EMMC, UFS, and NVMe support RPMB > hardware partition with common protocol and frame layout. > The RPMB partition cannot be accessed via standard block layer, but by a set > of specific commands: WRITE, READ, GET_WRITE_COUNTER, and > PROGRAM_KEY. > Such a partition provides authenticated and replay protected access, hence > suitable as a secure storage. > > The RPMB layer aims to provide in-kernel API for Trusted Execution > Environment (TEE) devices that are capable to securely compute block frame > signature. In case a TEE device wish to store a replay protected data, it > creates an RPMB frame with requested data and computes HMAC of the > frame, then it requests the storage device via RPMB layer to store the data. > > The layer provides two APIs, for rpmb_req_cmd() for issuing one of RPMB > specific commands and rpmb_seq_cmd() for issuing of raw RPMB protocol > frames, which is close to the functionality provided by emmc multi ioctl > interface. > > A TEE driver can claim the RPMB interface, for example, via > class_interface_register (). > > A storage device registers its RPMB hardware (eMMC) partition or RPMB W- > LUN (UFS) with the RPMB layer providing an implementation for > rpmb_seq_cmd() handler. The interface enables sending sequence of RPMB > standard frames. > > A parallel user space API is provided via /dev/rpmbX character device with > two IOCTL commands. > Simplified one, RPMB_IOC_REQ_CMD, were read result cycles is performed > by the framework on behalf the user and second, RPMB_IOC_SEQ_CMD > where the whole RPMB sequence, including RESULT_READ is supplied by the > caller. > The latter is intended for easier adjusting of the applications that use > MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD ioctl, such as > https://android.googlesource.com/trusty/app/storage/ > > There is a also sample tool under tools/rpmb/ directory that exercises these > interfaces and a simulation device that implements the device part. > > The code is also available from: > > https://github.com/tomasbw/linux-mei.git rpmb > Greg, can you please check if this series has addressed all your comments.
