I suppose your are speaking about this discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221002002326.946620-3-ira.weiny@intel.com/

If I'm not mistaken, I should modify at tee_shm_register_kernel_buf API and
register_shm_helper inernal function, right?

Seems that Jens has also pointed out the free part...

What about having equivalent of shm_get_kernel_pages in an external helper (to
defined where to put it), could it be an alternative of the upadate of the
tee_shm API?

Thanks,
Arnaud
