But I think I would just return an error, maybe -EINVAL? Hmm, looks like my comment is somewhat misleading :( What I mean, is that param->u.tmem.buf_ptr == 0 is the normal situation. This is the special case, when OP-TEE treats this buffer as a NULL. So we are doing nothing there. Thus, "return 0". But, as Julien pointed out, we can have machine where 0x0 is the valid memory address and there is a chance, that some guest will use it as a pointer to buffer. > Aside from this, and the small grammar issue, everything else looks fine > to me. > > Let's wait for Julien's reply, but if this is the only thing I could fix > on commit. > > >> /* Offset of user buffer withing OPTEE_MSG_NONCONTIG_PAGE_SIZE-sized page */ >> offset = param->u.tmem.buf_ptr & (OPTEE_MSG_NONCONTIG_PAGE_SIZE - 1); >> >> @@ -865,9 +883,12 @@ static int translate_params(struct optee_domain *ctx, >> } >> else >> { >> - gdprintk(XENLOG_WARNING, "Guest tries to use old tmem arg\n"); >> - ret = -EINVAL; >> - goto out; >> + if ( call->xen_arg->params[i].u.tmem.buf_ptr ) >> + { >> + gdprintk(XENLOG_WARNING, "Guest tries to use old tmem arg\n"); >> + ret = -EINVAL; >> + goto out; >> + } >> } >> break; >> case OPTEE_MSG_ATTR_TYPE_NONE: >> -- >> 2.26.2 >>

I agree with Volodymyr, this is the normal case here. There are more work to prevent MFN 0 to be mapped in the guest but this shouldn't be an issue today. Cheers,

There are more work to > prevent MFN 0 to be mapped in the guest but this shouldn't be an issue today. Let's put the MFN 0 issue aside for a moment. From the commit message I thought that if the guest wanted to pass a NULL buffer ("Null memory reference") then it would also *not* set OPTEE_MSG_ATTR_NONCONTIG, which would be handled by the "else" statement also modified by this patch. Thus, I thought that reaching translate_noncontig with buf_ptr == NULL would always be an error. But re-reading the commit message and from both your answers it is not the case: a "Null memory reference" is allowed with OPTEE_MSG_ATTR_NONCONTIG set too. Thus, I have no further comments and the improvements on the in-code comment could be done on commit.

Good :). IIRC Paul gave a provisional RaB for this series. @Paul, now that we are settled, could we get a formal one? Cheers,

It is not clear to me what Stefano had in mind for the "in-code comment". So I will leave him committing the series. Cheers,

Trusted Applications use popular approach to determine required size of buffer: client provides a memory reference with the NULL pointer to a buffer. This is so called "Null memory reference". TA updates the reference with the required size and returns it back to the client. Then client allocates buffer of needed size and repeats the operation. This behavior is described in TEE Client API Specification, paragraph 3.2.5. Memory References. OP-TEE represents this null memory reference as a TMEM parameter with buf_ptr = 0x0. This is the only case when we should allow TMEM buffer without the OPTEE_MSG_ATTR_NONCONTIG flag. This also the special case for a buffer with OPTEE_MSG_ATTR_NONCONTIG flag. This could lead to a potential issue, because IPA 0x0 is a valid address, but OP-TEE will treat it as a special case. So, care should be taken when construction OP-TEE enabled guest to make sure that such guest have no memory at IPA 0x0 and none of its memory is mapped at PA 0x0.
