Subject: [PATCH 0/2] TPM
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:05:02 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1220065144.git.srajiv@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Based on Christoph Hellwig's TPM internal kernel interface
locking question, the following TPM changes were made:
- removal of the BKL calls from the TPM driver, which were
added in the overall misc-char-dev-BKL-pushdown.patch
- continue to protect the tpm_chip_list using the
driver_lock, and add an rcu to protect readers.
The TPM internal kernel interface patch will be posted as
part of the integrity patchset.
