Saw Kens response and to make sure that we are talking about the same thing we are probably speaking about your patches that currently reside over here: https://github.com/PeterHuewe/linux-tpmdd/commits/tpm-emulator and not about anything that actually emulates directly a TPM. These are my concerns: * Should be probably broken into two patches with include/linux/wait.h modifications residing in a separate commit. * Should the module be renamed as something else than tpm_user_emul? It's not a TPM emulator but more like a proxy. * I have to admit that I haven't deeply dived into functionality that vTPM provides. What does it provide exactly? Does this overlap? > Thanks, > David /Jarkko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
