Subject: [PATCH] optee: register TEE devices only once fully initialized
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 18:10:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918101113.6699-1-shf.chen@mediatek.com> (raw)
optee_probe() called tee_device_register() on both the client and the
supplicant device before the rest of struct optee had been initialized.
tee_device_register() calls cdev_device_add(), which does two things at
once: it creates /dev/tee0 and /dev/teepriv0, and it links the device
into the tee class so that class_find_device() can find it. From that
moment on the device is reachable both from user space via tee_open()
and from kernel space via tee_client_open_context(). The only gate in
teedev_open() is tee_device_get(), which merely checks that
teedev->desc is non-NULL, which was already set by tee_device_alloc().
Therefore, there is effectively no gate at all.
A context opened in that window can run against a struct optee where
- optee->call_queue.mutex is not initialized by optee_cq_init()
- optee->supp mutex and completions is not initialized by
optee_supp_init()
- optee->rpmb_dev_mutex is not initialized yet,
- the message argument cache is not initialized by
optee_shm_arg_cache_init()
- optee->ctx is still NULL
Any open session or invoke during this window takes uninitialized
mutexes and dereferences a NULL pointer.
Fix it by moving both tee_device_register() calls down to the point
where all of struct optee is set up.
