[PATCH 3/3] tpm: add retry logic

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Wed Apr 25 2018 - 06:47:19 EST


From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e2fb992d82c626c43ed0566e07c410e56a087af3 upstream

TPM2 can return TPM2_RC_RETRY to any command and when it does we get
unexpected failures inside the kernel that surprise users (this is
mostly observed in the trusted key handling code). The UEFI 2.6 spec
has advice on how to handle this:

The firmware SHALL not return TPM2_RC_RETRY prior to the completion
of the call to ExitBootServices().

Implementerâs Note: the implementation of this function should check
the return value in the TPM response and, if it is TPM2_RC_RETRY,
resend the command. The implementation may abort if a sufficient
number of retries has been done.

So we follow that advice in our tpm_transmit() code using
TPM2_DURATION_SHORT as the initial wait duration and
TPM2_DURATION_LONG as the maximum wait time. This should fix all the
in-kernel use cases and also means that user space TSS implementations
don't have to have their own retry handling.
