[PATCH v5 00/17] Remove nested TPM operations

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Thu Nov 08 2018 - 09:15:53 EST


[was Detach TPM space code out of the tpm_transmit() flow but the scope
expanded a bit.]

Make the changes necessary to detach TPM space code and TPM activation
code out of the tpm_transmit() flow because of both of these can cause
nested tpm_transmit() calls. The nesteds calls make the whole flow hard
to maintain, and thus, it is better to just fix things now before this
turns into a bigger mess.

The commits are available in a branch called 'nested' in

git://git.infradead.org/users/jjs/linux-tpmdd.git

v5:
* Add the missing rev's from Stefan Berger.

v4:
* Return 0 from pcrs_show() when tpm1_pcr_read() fails.
* Fix error handling flow in tpm_try_transmit().
* Replace struct tpm_input_header and struct tpm_output_header with
struct tpm_header.

v3:
* Encapsulate power gating code to tpm_chip_start() and tpm_chip_stop().
* Move TPM power gating code and locking to tpm_try_get_ops() and
tpm_put_ops().
* Call power gating code directly in tpm_chip_register() and
tpm2_del_space().

v2:
* Print tpm2_commit_space() error inside tpm2_commit_space()
* Error code was not printed when recv() callback failed. It is
fixed in this version.
* Added a patch that removes @space from tpm_transmit().
* Fixed a regression in earlier series. Forgot to amend the change
from the staging area that renames NESTED to UNLOCKED in tpm2-space.c.
