Hi, Jens, We seem to have found the answer following the comment you gave in the issue: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/issues/5877 <https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/issues/5877 > The reason seems to be that the system has more non-secure memory than what OP-TEE is aware of. When our system memory DRAM size is 32GB, optee has the following configuration for non-secure state memory: #define DRAM1_BASE 0x880000000UL #define DRAM1_SIZE 0x780000000UL On another device, our system memory DRAM size is 64G, optee uses the above configuration for non-secure memory. And xtest will not run stably. In addition, I would like to ask you a few questions in order to understand the problem better. 1. System has more non-secure memory than what OP-TEE is aware of, and optee will not run stably. Why? What is the root cause of TEEC_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY on the issue? I'll do some research on it myself, meanwhile I hope you could give us some insights. 2. When I execute the following command, for i in {1.. 10}; do ./xtest&; done; xtest prints out of order, And the following error is reported: E/TC:032 002 mobj_ffa_get_by_cookie:356 possible spinlock deadlock reminder 1 E/TC:070 mobj_ffa_unregister_by_cookie:310 possible spinlock deadlock reminder 1 E/TC:004 003 mobj_ffa_get_by_cookie:356 possible spinlock deadlock reminder 1 E/TC:058 001 mobj_ffa_get_by_cookie:356 possible spinlock deadlock reminder 1 Then the system hangs and restarts automatically. Does optee currently support running multiple TAs in parallel? Is the maximum number of TAs running in parallel equal to the number of vcpus? 3. The values of MAX_XLAT_TABLES and CFG_CORE_HEAP_SIZE also seem to affect the stability of the system. What configurations, such as the number of cores, should I pay attention to if I want to configure appropriate values for these options? Thanks a lot.

Hi, experts
Recently, we are testing the stability for running optee xtest with environment that hafnium runs as SPMC and optee runs on SPMC as SP. When we reboot the system, xtest failed on some cases with TEEC_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY. It seems to be that there is an insufficient memory allocation somewhere in the chain. We tried the following: Using Single core startup, Increased optee MAX_XLAT_TABLES size to 16, Increased optee CFG_CORE_HEAP_SIZE to 0x2000000, Increasing the size of optee CFG_TEE_RAM_VA_SIZE to 0x4000000, Increasing the size of hafnium heap_pages to 8192, But nothing seems to be working. Can you offer any help or suggestions?
It would help if you could pinpoint the source of the out-of-memory error. I guess it happens somewhere during mobj_ffa_get_by_cookie(), where especially thread_spmc_populate_mobj_from_rx() is interesting. It could also be worth setting CFG_CORE_DUMP_OOM=y, it's easy to enable but I'm afraid it's more of a long shot. Cheers, Jens
Some other configuration for optee is attached in the issue: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/issues/5893 <https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/issues/5893 >
