Some of the UCSI commands can be used to configure the
entire Platform Policy Manager (PPM) instead of just
individual connectors. To allow the user space communicate
those commands with the PPM, adding a mailbox interface. The
interface is a single attribute file that represents the
main "OPM to PPM" UCSI data structure.

The mailbox allows any UCSI command to be sent to the PPM so
it should be also useful for validation, testing and
debugging purposes.

As it's for this type of thing, why not put it in debugfs instead?

This worries me, any userspace tool can now do this?  What other "bad"
things can it to the connection?

You raced with userspace and lost, right?  Why are you dynamically
creating this attribute, can't you just use a static one?

But again, why not debugfs?  I'd feel a lot more comfortable with that
instead of sysfs.

Although, there is actually only a limited number of things that you
can do to the connection using UCSI, that is definitely a concern.

The PPM (which is the EC firmware in most cases) is expected to prevent
any harmful or "unauthorized" UCSI commands from being executed, but
I'm not sure there is any guarantees for that at the moment.

The size of the attribute depends on the UCSI version.

I would actually prefer debugfs for this, but this is in any case
not primarily for debugging and validation.

The initial goal was to supply the user space some way to control the
EC's power related policies using UCSI commands such as
SET_POWER_LEVEL and GET_POWER_LEVEL (guys, please correct me if I got
that wrong).

But I'm now again wondering could those power policy tasks be handled
using the UCSI power supplies after all? Venkat, did you look into
that?

It generally feels that exporting the whole unmoderated channel to the
firmware just to set power level is wrong. It should be interfaced
through the PSY driver.

The intend of this sysfs is not limited to validation, testing and
debugging purposes but rather providing interface for major user space
application developments.

At present we are working on an application/ user space service which 
will be calling UCSI read/write power level commands. But in future
there would be more such applications which may require additional
UCSI commands to use. We wanted to have a common and 
generic solution - and hence thought of going with sysfs interface.

Issue with debugfs is, it is default disabled in release kernels. User has 
to rebuild the kernel if the application is based on the debugfs interface.
This will become a bottleneck for wider use of such appliances.

Critical power setting related features and options are tightly controlled 
by PPM/LPM. In such cases, those UCSI command request by user space 
will be blocked by PPM/LPM and will eventually end of into DoS.

Moreover, to further mitigate the risk of any malicious attack our 
understanding is this sysfs interface will be accessible only with root or 
super user privilege.

We are looking into this to figure out if there is any best way to expose 
power level settings options using UCSI power supply class interface. 
But even so, I believe that also does not completely eliminate risk of
any malicious use.

At present we are working on an application/ user space service which 
will be calling UCSI read/write power level commands. But in future
there would be more such applications which may require additional
UCSI commands to use. We wanted to have a common and 
generic solution - and hence thought of going with sysfs interface.

Issue with debugfs is, it is default disabled in release kernels. User has 
to rebuild the kernel if the application is based on the debugfs interface.
This will become a bottleneck for wider use of such appliances.

Can we still think of going ahead with sysfs interface and double make 
sure to make this accessible only with root/su privilege to minimize 
any potential risk of bad uses?

But that's not what you are saying above.  sysfs is for attributes of a
device, NOT for full device control.  Use a proper api for that that can
be correctly mediated if needed.

We can't take new user/kernel apis without a real user, so please hold
off on this series until you have a real user.  Otherwise it is
guaranteed that you will have to change that api based on actually using
it.

It is up to the distro to enable/disable debugfs, that's not our issue.
debugfs is NOT for normal system operation, so if you want to make this
a proper api for normal users, than no, don't use debugfs, make it a
real api.  Which is probably NOT going to be sysfs.

What is "PPM/LPM"?  I don't see that here.

Is it?  You really want normal users being forced to be root in order to
talk to this device?

Make this a real api please, don't try to just do "provide raw access to
the hardware and we will hope any userspace program can get it right",
that way lies madness :)

Nope!  Get it right please, once you add it, you can't remove it.

+Description:
+		Command mailbox for UCSI (USB Type-C System Software Interface).
+
+		The mailbox contains a copy of the main UCSI data structure.
+		Sending a command happens by writing the command specific data
+		structure to the CONTROL offset just like defined in the UCSI
+		specification. When a command is written to the mailbox, it is
+		automatically forwarded to the Platform Policy Manager (PPM) of
+		the UCSI instance.
+
+		After writing the command to the mailbox, the result can be read
+		directly from the CCI and MESSAGE_IN offsets. The mailbox takes
+		care of command completion acknowledges automatically.
+
+		Note. The mailbox is meant, and can only be used for, sending
+		commands. I.e. the mailbox is not updated when the UCSI receives
+		asynchronous events.
