I'm not following exactly why. I think this is to allow > mmap of the tee_shm's allocated by kernel users? No, its rather to allow mmap of tee_shm allocated via tee_shm_alloc_user_buf(). Have a look at its user-space usage here [1]. So overall I agree here that we can't get rid of TEE_SHM_USER_MAPPED completely as it has a valid mmap use-case.

Would this be along the lines of creating a > tee_shm_free_kernel() to be used in trusted_tee.c for those specific kernel > data? I can't find a reason/use-case for the TEE subsystem to keep a refcount of memory registered by other kernel drivers like trusted_tee.c. So yes I think it should be safe to directly free that shm via tee_shm_free_kernel(). Also with that we can simplify shm registration by kernel clients via directly passing page pointers to tee_shm_register_kernel_buf() (I would rather rename this API as tee_shm_register_kernel_pages()). -Sumit > > Overall I feel like submitting this series again with Christoph and Al's > comments addressed is the best way forward to get rid of kmap_to_page().
