Currently to read a response from the TPM device an application needs provide big enough buffer for the whole response and read it in one go. The application doesn't know how big the response it beforehand so it always needs to maintain a 4K buffer and read the max (4K). In case if the user of the TSS library doesn't provide big enough buffer the TCTI spec says that the library should set the required size and return TSS2_TCTI_RC_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code so that the application could allocate a bigger buffer and call receive again. To make it possible in the TSS library, this requires being able to do partial reads from the driver. The library would read the 10 bytes header first to get the actual size of the response from the header, and then read the rest of the response. This patch adds support for partial reads, i.e. the user can read the response in one or multiple reads, until the whole response is consumed. The user can also read only part of the response and ignore the rest by issuing a new write to send a new command. Signed-off-by: Tadeusz Struk <tadeusz.struk@xxxxxxxxx> --- The usecase is implemented in this TSS commit: https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/commit/ce982f67a67dc08e24683d30b05800648d8a264c Changes in v4: - Use unsigned type for response_pending as it will never be negative. - Rebased on top of name change data_pending to transmit_result patch. Changes in v3: - Remove link to usecase implemented in TSS out of the commit message. - Update the conddition in tpm_common_poll() to take into account the partial_data also. Changes in v2: - Allow writes after only partial response is consumed to maintain backwords compatibility. --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c index 67a70e2fde7f..0544733e1b6d 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c @@ -64,6 +64,7 @@ static void tpm_timeout_work(struct work_struct *work) mutex_lock(&priv->buffer_mutex); priv->transmit_result = 0; + priv->partial_data = 0; memset(priv->data_buffer, 0, sizeof(priv->data_buffer)); mutex_unlock(&priv->buffer_mutex); wake_up_interruptible(&priv->async_wait); @@ -90,22 +91,39 @@ ssize_t tpm_common_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, ssize_t ret_size = 0; int rc; - del_singleshot_timer_sync(&priv->user_read_timer); - flush_work(&priv->timeout_work); mutex_lock(&priv->buffer_mutex); + if (priv->transmit_result || priv->partial_data) { + if (*off == 0) + priv->partial_data = priv->transmit_result; + + ret_size = min_t(ssize_t, size, priv->partial_data); + if (ret_size <= 0) { + ret_size = 0; + priv->transmit_result = 0; + priv->partial_data = 0; + goto out; + } - if (priv->transmit_result) { - ret_size = min_t(ssize_t, size, priv->transmit_result); - if (ret_size > 0) { - rc = copy_to_user(buf, priv->data_buffer, ret_size); - memset(priv->data_buffer, 0, priv->transmit_result); - if (rc) - ret_size = -EFAULT; + rc = copy_to_user(buf, priv->data_buffer + *off, ret_size); + if (rc) { + memset(priv->data_buffer, 0, TPM_BUFSIZE); + priv->partial_data = 0; + ret_size = -EFAULT; + } else { + memset(priv->data_buffer + *off, 0, ret_size); + priv->partial_data -= ret_size; + *off += ret_size; } priv->transmit_result = 0; } +out: + if (!priv->partial_data) { + *off = 0; + del_singleshot_timer_sync(&priv->user_read_timer); + flush_work(&priv->timeout_work); + } mutex_unlock(&priv->buffer_mutex); return ret_size; } @@ -150,6 +168,9 @@ ssize_t tpm_common_write(struct file *file, const char __user *buf, goto out; } + priv->partial_data = 0; + *off = 0; + /* * If in nonblocking mode schedule an async job to send * the command return the size. @@ -184,7 +205,7 @@ __poll_t tpm_common_poll(struct file *file, poll_table *wait) poll_wait(file, &priv->async_wait, wait); - if (priv->transmit_result) + if (priv->transmit_result || priv->partial_data) mask = EPOLLIN | EPOLLRDNORM; else mask = EPOLLOUT | EPOLLWRNORM; diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.h b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.h index 3ff1dc9f3d75..714a4419d392 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.h +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.h @@ -11,6 +11,8 @@ struct file_priv { /* Holds the resul of the last successful call to tpm_transmit() */ size_t transmit_result; + /* Holds the count how much of the response is still unread */ + size_t partial_data; struct mutex buffer_mutex; struct timer_list user_read_timer; /* user needs to claim result */
