Kernel logs on platform enabling SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE ------ ``` LoadPin: firmware old-api-denied obj=<unknown> pid=810 cmdline="modprobe -q -- rtw89_8852ce" rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: loading /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin failed with error -1 rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin failed with error -1 rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to early request firmware: -1 ``` Trace ------ ``` request_partial_firmware_into_buf() > _request_firmware() >> fw_get_filesystem_firmware() >>> kernel_read_file_from_path_initns() >>>> kernel_read_file() >>>>> security_kernel_read_file() // It will iterate enabled LSMs' hooks for kernel_read_file. // With loadpin, it hooks loadpin_read_file. ``` If SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE is enabled, doing kernel_read_file() on partial files will be denied and return -EPERM (-1). Then, the outer API based on it, e.g. request_partial_firmware_into_buf(), will get the error. In the case, we cannot get the firmware stuffs right, even though there might be no error other than a permission issue on reading a partial file. So we have to request full firmware if SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE is enabled. It makes us still have a chance to do early firmware work on this kind of platforms.
