Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] RDMA/mlx5: Externally validate FW commands supplied in DEVX interface
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:56:35 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331-fw-lsm-hook-v2-3-78504703df1f@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260331-fw-lsm-hook-v2-0-78504703df1f@nvidia.com>

From: Chiara Meiohas <cmeiohas@nvidia.com>

DEVX is an RDMA uverbs extension that allows userspace to submit
firmware command buffers. The driver inspects the command and then
passes the buffer through for firmware execution.

Call bpf_lsm_fw_validate_cmd() before dispatching firmware commands
through DEVX.

This allows BPF programs to implement custom policies and enforce
per-command security policy on user-triggered firmware commands.
For example, a BPF program could restrict specific firmware
operations to privileged users.
