This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tpm_tis: Resend command to recover from data transfer errors to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tpm_tis-resend-command-to-recover-from-data-transfer.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 06bf31666a4d07d68cb1373ab971831d5d88a830 Author: Alexander Steffen <Alexander.Steffen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 13 20:02:59 2023 +0200 tpm_tis: Resend command to recover from data transfer errors [ Upstream commit 280db21e153d8810ce3b93640c63ae922bcb9e8e ] Similar to the transmission of TPM responses, also the transmission of TPM commands may become corrupted. Instead of aborting when detecting such issues, try resending the command again.
