[PATCH 1/2] wifi: rtw89: don't request partial firmware if SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Zong-Zhe Yang <kevin_yang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Kernel logs on platform enabling SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE
------
```
LoadPin: firmware old-api-denied obj=<unknown> pid=810 cmdline="modprobe -q -- rtw89_8852ce"
rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: loading /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin failed with error -1
rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin failed with error -1
rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to early request firmware: -1
```

Trace

```
request_partial_firmware_into_buf()

>>> kernel_read_file_from_path_initns()

// It will iterate enabled LSMs' hooks for kernel_read_file.
// With loadpin, it hooks loadpin_read_file.
```

If SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE is enabled, doing kernel_read_file() on partial
files will be denied and return -EPERM (-1). Then, the outer API based on it,
e.g. request_partial_firmware_into_buf(), will get the error.

In the case, we cannot get the firmware stuffs right, even though there might
be no error other than a permission issue on reading a partial file. So we have
to request full firmware if SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE is enabled. It makes us
still have a chance to do early firmware work on this kind of platforms.
