[PATCH v2 0/4] Have IMA find and use a tpm_chip until system shutdown

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Wed Jun 20 2018 - 16:42:51 EST


This series of patches converts IMA's usage of the tpm_chip to find a TPM
chip initially and use it until the machine is shut down. To do this we need
to introduce a kref for the tpm_chip that IMA and all other users of a
tpm_chip hold onto until they don't need the TPM chip anymore.

Stefan

v1->v2:
- use the kref of the device via get_device()/put_device()

Stefan Berger (4):
tpm: Implement tpm_chip_find() and tpm_chip_put() for other subsystems
ima: Implement ima_shutdown and register it as a reboot_notifier
ima: Use tpm_chip_find() and access TPM functions using it
ima: Get rid of ima_used_chip and use ima_tpm_chip != NULL instead
