The first sentence of this paragraph means absolutely nothing but nonsense. Please describe the implementation broadly instead. Also the code is organized badly and makes the current code base a mess. You should derive __tpm_tis_recv() from the "old" tpm_tis_recv(), and introduce a "new" tpm_tis_recv() that calls __tpm_tis_recv() a number of times. /Jarkko
