The current patch does, you even provided a use case in your last email (it's do command to get sizing followed by do command with correctly sized buffer). However, if you tie it to O_NONBLOCK, it won't because no-one currently opens the TPM device non blocking so it's an ABI conformant discriminator of the uses. Tying to O_NONBLOCK should be simple because it's in file->f_flags. James
