- Instead of removing "experimental" status I changed it to "Tech Preview"
- Other changes are described in the corresponding patches
Cover letter for v1:
This patch series fixes various unfinished items in the OP-TEE mediator. Mostly this is about limiting resources that guest can consume. This includes both memory and time - how many buffers guest can share with OP-TEE (this uses Xen memory) and when mediator should preempt itself, to make sure that guest does not stress scheduling.
Apart from this, there were one case, when mediator's actions might lead to memory leak in a good-behaving guest. To fix this issue I had to extend mediator logic, so now it can issue RPC requests to guest in the same way, as OP-TEE does this. This is useful feature, because it allows to preempt mediator during long operations. So, in the future it will be possible to remove shared buffer size limitation, because mediator can preempt self during buffer translation.
This patch series can be pulled from [1].
