[PATCH 030/173] TPM: Long default timeout fix

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Mon Apr 25 2011 - 16:23:47 EST


2.6.27.59-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Rajiv Andrade <srajiv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c4ff4b829ef9e6353c0b133b7adb564a68054979 upstream.

If duration variable value is 0 at this point, it's because
chip->vendor.duration wasn't filled by tpm_get_timeouts() yet.
This patch sets then the lowest timeout just to give enough
time for tpm_get_timeouts() to further succeed.

This fix avoids long boot times in case another entity attempts
to send commands to the TPM when the TPM isn't accessible.
