For user PD initialization, initmem is allocated and sent to DSP for
initial memory requirements like shell loading. This size is passed
by user space and is checked against a max size. For unsigned PD
offloading, more than 2MB size could be passed by user which would
result in PD initialization failure. Remove the user PD initmem size
check and allow buffer allocation for user passed size. Any additional
memory sent to DSP during PD init is used as the PD heap.

Would it allow malicious userspace to allocate big enough buffers and
reduce the amount of memory available to the system? To other DSP
programs?

This feels really wrong as now there is no way to bounds-check the
buffer size at all, so userspace can do "bad things" like go over the
defined buffer size limit which you are expecting, right?

So how is this actually correct?  If you want larger sizes, then
increase the INIT_FILELEN_MAX value.

And this feels really wrong compared to v1 of this patch, which did
attempt to increase the size, yet it wasn't really well defined.  Now
you went way too far to allow ANY size to be passed in here, which is
obviously what you don't want to do.

The allocation here is happening from SMMU context bank which is uniquely assigned
to processes going to DSP. As per my understanding process can allocate maximum
4GB of memory from the context bank and the memory availability will be taken care
by kernel memory management. Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

The reason for removing this check is that I don't know how much memory can
any user process ask for DSP PD initialization. There are some cases where huge
memory requirement can come. As for the expectation, any memory allocated here
will get completely added to DSP PD. I understand your concern but can you please
suggest any way I can have some bound-check to handle this also(requirement more
than 5MB)? The memory is allocated using SMMU context banks which is uniquely
assigned to process so the max allocation can go upto 4GB per process as per my
understanding.

Just wanted to add 1 question here:
User space can also directly allocate memory. Wouldn't that be a problem if any malicious userspace
allocated huge memory? Is there any bound check or is it handled differently? Please help me with
some information here.

No, because any userspace program that takes up too much memory will be
killed by the kernel.

You can not have userspace tell the kernel to allocate 100Gb of memory,
as then the kernel is the one that just took it all up, and then
userspace applications will start to be killed off.

You MUST bounds check your userspace-supplied memory requests.  Remember
the 4 words of kernel development:

	All input is evil.
