[PATCH] tpm2-cmd: allow more attempts for selftest execution

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously, if the last attempt to execute the selftest command failed with
RC_TESTING, there was still a call to tpm_msleep, even though no further
attempt would be made. This causes an unnecessary delay, therefore ensure
that if the last attempt fails the function is left immediately.

Also, instead of ensuring that the cumulated runtime of all attempts is
larger than the command duration for TPM2_SelfTest, ensure that there is at
least one attempt for which the delay is larger than the expected command
duration. This allows slow TPMs to execute all their tests in the
background, without slowing down faster TPMs that have finished their tests
earlier. If tests are still not finished even with this long delay, then
something is broken and the TPM is not used.

Fixes: 125a22105410 ("tpm: React correctly to RC_TESTING from TPM 2.0 self
tests")
