Hi sumit,
You mean we need to check whether there is a real memleak, If being secure world just allocate kernel memory via OPTEE_SMC_PRC_FUNC_ALLOC and until the end, there is no free It via OPTEE_SMC_PRC_FUNC_FREE, then we should judge it as a memory leak, wo need to judge whether it is caused by secure os?
Yes. AFAICT, optee-os should allocate shared memory to communicate with tee-supplicant. So once the communication is done, the underlying shared memory should be freed. I can't think of any scenario where optee-os should keep hold-off shared memory indefinitely.
I believe it can happen when OP-TEE's CFG_PREALLOC_RPC_CACHE is y. See the config file [1] and the commit which introduced this config [2].
Okay, I see the reasoning. So during the OP-TEE driver's lifetime, the RPC shared memory remains allocated. I guess that is done primarily for performance reasons.
But still it doesn't feel appropriate that we term all RPC shm allocations as not leaking memory as we might miss obvious ones.
Xiaolei,
Can you once test with CFG_PREALLOC_RPC_CACHE=n while compiling optee-os and see if the observed memory leak disappears or not?

Hi sumit
The version I am using has not increased the CFG_PREALLOC_RPC_CACHE
switch, I checked out to the latest version, but because of the need for
additional patches for the imx8 platform, I still have no way to test the
CFG_PREALLOC_RPC_CACHE=n situation
Can you just try to backport this [1] patch to your imx8 optee-os tree and test?
Hi sumit
I upgraded optee-os from version 3.2.0 to 3.13.0, and the kernel did not detect this problem.
I have not set CFG_PREALLOC_RPC_CACHE to n. This should be a problem that occurs when compatible
with lower versions.
thanks
