My concern is about the policy to adding heaps, will you accept "customs" heap per platforms ? per devices ? or only generic ones ? If you are too strict, we will have lot of out-of-tree heaps and if you accept of of them it will be a nightmare to maintain.... Another point is how can we put secure rules (like selinux policy) on heaps since all the allocations go to the same device (/dev/ion) ? For example, until now, in Android we have to give the same access rights to all the process that use ION. It will become problem when we will add secure heaps because we won't be able to distinguish secure processes to standard ones or set specific policy per heaps. Maybe I'm wrong here but I have never see selinux policy checking an ioctl field but if that exist it could be a solution. > >> >> Benjamin >> > > Thanks, > Laura >
