Subject: [PATCH v7 1/3] KVM: arm64: Block host-initiated FF-A direct responses
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:08:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830-host-direct-messages-v7-1-45f6e6db72c2@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830-host-direct-messages-v7-0-45f6e6db72c2@google.com>
From: Per Larsen <perlarsen@google.com>
ffa_call_supported() rejects FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_RESP, but allows
FFA_FN64_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_RESP to be forwarded to firmware.
The host is never the target of an FF-A direct request and therefore
cannot initiate a direct response. Reject both calling conventions.
