dt-bindings: of: Add restricted DMA pool
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Introduce the new compatible string, restricted-dma-pool, for restricted
DMA. One can specify the address and length of the restricted DMA memory
region by restricted-dma-pool in the reserved-memory node.

- restricted-dma-pool: This indicates a region of memory meant to be
used as a pool of restricted DMA buffers for a set of devices. The
memory region would be the only region accessible to those devices.
When using this, the no-map and reusable properties must not be set,
so the operating system can create a virtual mapping that will be used
for synchronization. The main purpose for restricted DMA is to
mitigate the lack of DMA access control on systems without an IOMMU,
which could result in the DMA accessing the system memory at
unexpected times and/or unexpected addresses, possibly leading to data
leakage or corruption. The feature on its own provides a basic level
of protection against the DMA overwriting buffer contents at
unexpected times. However, to protect against general data leakage and
system memory corruption, the system needs to provide way to lock down
the memory access, e.g., MPU. Note that since coherent allocation
needs remapping, one must set up another device coherent pool by
shared-dma-pool and use dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent instead for atomic
coherent allocation.
