Hi,
On this actually after checking the driver
* Meanwhile the error message seems to suggest the returned value is INTID 6 ? Which doesn't correlate with hafnium HF_NOTIFICATION_PENDING_INTID = 5?
Value 6 may be the return value from irq_create_of_mapping [1], not the value returned by FFA_FEATURES(FFA_FEAT_NOTIFICATION_PENDING_INT) [2]

Hi,
Thanks for your observations.
My own perspective is that normal world shall not try to enquire about the NPI virtual interrupt id used by hafnium to inject into secure partitions. NPI virtual interrupt id shall be defined by an Hypervisor and SPMC independently and don't necessarily need to match. An hypervisor uses whichever value it defines to inject into VMs. Similarly for an SPMC and secure partitions.
There may have been other reasons to design the driver this way because of presence of an hypervisor (and the driver running in a VM) vs a system without an hypervisor.
We're discussing this internally and will come back to you with a more precise answer.

Which commit hash or tag are you using for hafnium?
Regards, Olivier.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions related to notification. Recently, we are working on kernel upgrade and I found this log while booting.
| genirq: Flags mismatch irq 6. 00004401 (ARM-FFA-NPI) vs. 00004400 (IPI) | ARM FF-A: Error registering percpu NPI nIRQ 6 : -16 | ARM FF-A: Notification setup failed -16, not enabled
This does not affect the other functionalities when I tested using xtest of OP-TEE.
And, I found a commit [1] related this log in linux kernel and it said
| If the firmware returns incorrect SRI/NRI number, we fail to set it up | in the kernel which is absolutely fine.
So I checked hafnium and I found that hafnium returns "5" as HF_NOTIFICATION_PENDING_INTID [2] and it conflicts with IPI numbers (IPI_TIMER) [3].
So the question is : 1. HF_NOTIFICATION_PENDING_INTID seems to be conflicted. Do you have any plan to change its number greater than MAX_IPI? 2. Or, Is there the other way to avoid IRQ number conflicts? I mean, Did I miss something to configure? 3. Actually, I haven't find any use-case of notification yet. so notification is still working in progress?
