[PATCH v3 0/4] Have IMA find and use a tpm_chip until system shutdown

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

 



This series of patches converts IMA's usage of the tpm_chip to find a TPM
chip initially and use it until the machine is shut down. To do this we need
to introduce a kref for the tpm_chip that IMA and all other users of a
tpm_chip hold onto until they don't need the TPM chip anymore.

v2->v3:
  - renaming tpm_chip_find_get() to tpm_get_ops()
  - IMA does not lock access to ima_tpm_chip anymore
  - IMA does not have a reboot notifier to release the chip anymore

v1->v2:
  - use the kref of the device via get_device()/put_device()

Stefan Berger (4):
  tpm: rename tpm_chip_find_get() to tpm_get_ops()
  tpm: Implement tpm_chip_find() for other subsystems to find a TPM chip
  ima: Use tpm_chip_find() and call TPM functions with a tpm_chip
  ima: Get rid of ima_used_chip and use ima_tpm_chip != NULL instead
