Subject: [PATCH v4 11/31] accel: ethosu: Clear SRAM before submission
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 08:35:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029-ethosu-fixes-v4-11-4aa25e22578e@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-ethosu-fixes-v4-0-4aa25e22578e@kernel.org>
SRAM contents persist between jobs including different users. Clear the
SRAM before programming the SRAM region to prevent one client observing
another client's data.
Fixes: 5a5e9c0228e6 ("accel: Add Arm Ethos-U NPU driver")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Rob Herring (Arm) <robh@kernel.org>
