Can you rename it as SPACE? Not sure, I believe UNLOCKED is still better name than SPACE, I'm not sure this is Do you also want to remove TPM_TRANSMIT_RAW? clk_enable is handling its own anti recursion counter 'data->clkrun_enabled' but it should be all handled under one flag I guess. > Right, and even without rename this will probably cause merge conflicts at > least in v4.4 an v4.9 since in-kernel RM landed in v4.12, so not much gain not > do the rename :-) I belive we should do minimal change and the big cleanup after that. Not sure, I believe UNLOCKED is still better name than SPACE even it wasn't the original intention. No the SPACE is the issue, but any recursion call into tpm_transmit. A bigger change is needed and rename to SPACE would be just another intermediat change. Please reconsider. Thanks Tomas
