optee: immediately free buffers that are released by OP-TEE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Normal World can share a buffer with OP-TEE for two reasons:
1. A client application wants to exchange data with TA
2. OP-TEE asks for shared buffer for internal needs

The second case was handled more strictly than necessary:

1. In RPC request OP-TEE asks for buffer
2. NW allocates buffer and provides it via RPC response
3. Xen pins pages and translates data
4. Xen provides buffer to OP-TEE
5. OP-TEE uses it
6. OP-TEE sends request to free the buffer
7. NW frees the buffer and sends the RPC response
8. Xen unpins pages and forgets about the buffer

The problem is that Xen should forget about buffer in between stages 6
and 7. I.e. the right flow should be like this:

6. OP-TEE sends request to free the buffer
7. Xen unpins pages and forgets about the buffer
8. NW frees the buffer and sends the RPC response

This is because OP-TEE internally frees the buffer before sending the
"free SHM buffer" request. So we have no reason to hold reference for
this buffer anymore. Moreover, in multiprocessor systems NW have time
to reuse the buffer cookie for another buffer. Xen complained about this
and denied the new buffer registration. I have seen this issue while
running tests on iMX SoC.

So, this patch basically corrects that behavior by freeing the buffer
earlier, when handling RPC return from OP-TEE.
