This is not a memory leak because we pass the share memory pointer to secure world and would get it from secure world before releasing it.

IMO, we need to cross-check optee-os if it's responsible for leaking kernel memory.

Hi Sumit

You mean we need to check whether there is a real memory leak,

if being secure world just allocates kernel memory via OPTEE_SMC_RPC_FUNC_ALLOC

and until the end, there is no free it via OPTEE_SMC_RPC_FUNC_FREE,

then we should judge it as a memory leak.

thanks
