Subject: [PATCH  v2 0/4] rpmb subsystem, uapi and virtio-rpmb driver

Hi,

This is another attempt to come up with an RPMB API for the kernel.
The last discussion of this was in the thread:

  Subject: [RFC PATCH  0/5] RPMB internal and user-space API + WIP virtio-rpmb frontend
  Date: Wed,  3 Mar 2021 13:54:55 +0000
  Message-Id: <20210303135500.24673-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

The series provides for the RPMB sub-system, a new chardev API driven
by ioctls and a full multi-block capable virtio-rpmb driver. You can
find a working vhost-user backend in my QEMU branch here:

  https://github.com/stsquad/qemu/commits/virtio/vhost-user-rpmb-v2

The branch is a little messy but I'll be posting a cleaned up version
in the following weeks. The only real changes to the backend is the
multi-block awareness and some tweaks to deal with QEMU internals
handling VirtIO config space messages which weren't previously
exercised. The test.sh script in tools/rpmb works through the various
transactions but isn't comprehensive.

Changes since the last posting:

  - frame construction is mostly back in userspace

  The previous discussion showed there wasn't any appetite for using
  the kernels keyctl() interface so userspace yet again takes
  responsibility for constructing most* frames. Currently these are
  all pure virtio-rpmb frames but the code is written so we can plug
  in additional frame types. The virtio-rpmb driver does some
  validation and in some cases (* read-blocks) constructs the request
  frame in the driver. It would take someone implementing a driver for
  another RPMB device type to see if this makes sense.

  - user-space interface is still split across several ioctls

  Although 3 of the ioctls share the common rpmb_ioc_reqresp_cmd
  structure it does mean things like capacity, write_count and
  read_blocks can have their own structure associated with the
  command.

As before I shall follow up with the QEMU based vhost-user backend and
hopefully a rust-vmm re-implementation. However I've no direct
interest in implementing the interfaces to real hardware. I leave that
to people who have access to such things and are willing to take up
the maintainer burden if this is merged.

Regards,

Alex
