Upstream information
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical partitions
Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID.
Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique
combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system
will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions.
However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition
or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only
VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information.
The kernel complains with the below message:
| sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/arm-ffa-8001'
| CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7 #8
| Hardware name: FVP Base RevC (DT)

| arm_ffa arm-ffa: unable to register device arm-ffa-8001 err=-17
| ARM FF-A: ffa_setup_partitions: failed to register partition ID 0x8001
By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a
distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number
of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but
it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing
that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes
it hard to use the same for the device name.
So to keep it simple, let us alloc an ID using ida_alloc() and append the
same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. Also stash the id value
in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.
