Stefan right. Your does not work, or will randomly work or not work
depending on the chip.
You need to turn the TPM on with tpm_chip_start() and turn it off with
tpm_chip_stop() once you are done. This is done in tpm_chip_register()
before calling tpm_auto_startup().
TPM power management was once in tpm_transmit() but not anymore after my
patch set that removed nested tpm_transmit() calls.
While you're on it please take into account my earlier feedback.
Also, short summary could be "tpm: tpm_ibm_vtpm: Fix unallocated banks"
Some oddballs in your patch that I have to ask.
if (chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2) {
rc = tpm2_get_pcr_allocation(chip);
if (rc)
goto out;
}
chip->allocated_banks = kcalloc(1, sizeof(*chip->allocated_banks),
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!chip->allocated_banks) {
rc = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
Why you don't return on site and instead jump somewhere? Also the
2nd line for kcalloc() is misaligned.
out:
if (rc < 0)
rc = -ENODEV;
This will cause a new regression i.e. you let TPM error codes
through.
To summarize this patch fixes one regression and introduces two
completely new ones...
