From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When rngd is run as root then lots of these types of message will appear in the kernel log if the TPM has been configure to provide random bytes: [ 7406.275163] tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_recv: error -4 The issue is caused by the following call that is interrupted while waiting for the TPM's response. sig = wait_event_interruptible(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd); The solution is to use wait_event() instead. To recreat the issue start rngd like this: sudo rngd -r /dev/hwrng -t Link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1981473 Fixes: 6674ff145eef ("tpm_ibmvtpm: properly handle interrupted packet receptions") Cc: Nayna Jain <nayna@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: George Wilson <gcwilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c | 13 ++++--------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c index 903604769de9..99b0442a5fdf 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c @@ -106,16 +106,13 @@ static int tpm_ibmvtpm_recv(struct tpm_chip *chip, u8 *buf, size_t count) { struct ibmvtpm_dev *ibmvtpm = dev_get_drvdata(&chip->dev); u16 len; - int sig; if (!ibmvtpm->rtce_buf) { dev_err(ibmvtpm->dev, "ibmvtpm device is not ready\n"); return 0; } - sig = wait_event_interruptible(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd); - if (sig) - return -EINTR; + wait_event(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd); len = ibmvtpm->res_len; @@ -206,7 +203,7 @@ static int tpm_ibmvtpm_send(struct tpm_chip *chip, u8 *buf, size_t count) { struct ibmvtpm_dev *ibmvtpm = dev_get_drvdata(&chip->dev); bool retry = true; - int rc, sig; + int rc; if (!ibmvtpm->rtce_buf) { dev_err(ibmvtpm->dev, "ibmvtpm device is not ready\n"); @@ -224,9 +221,7 @@ static int tpm_ibmvtpm_send(struct tpm_chip *chip, u8 *buf, size_t count) dev_info(ibmvtpm->dev, "Need to wait for TPM to finish\n"); /* wait for previous command to finish */ - sig = wait_event_interruptible(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd); - if (sig) - return -EINTR; + wait_event(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd); } spin_lock(&ibmvtpm->rtce_lock); @@ -551,7 +546,7 @@ static void ibmvtpm_crq_process(struct ibmvtpm_crq *crq, /* len of the data in rtce buffer */ ibmvtpm->res_len = be16_to_cpu(crq->len); ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd = false; - wake_up_interruptible(&ibmvtpm->wq); + wake_up(&ibmvtpm->wq); return; default: return; -- 2.31.1
