Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] tpm_tis: fix retry exhaustion and add logging
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 00:32:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260411003300.1823020-1-jacqwong@google.com> (raw)
The Fix:
- Patch 1: Adds error logs to identify the specific hardware status mismatch.
- Patch 2: Stops execution immediately when retries are exhausted.
v2 changes:
- Split logging and logic into separate patches.
- Added retry count to the error message.
- Included dmesg traces below.
Testing:
Dmesg traces obtained using error injection to simulate status register mismatches.
Before:
[ 130.288751] tpm tpm0: Operation Timed out
[ 250.306070] tpm tpm0: Operation Timed out
[ 250.310173] tpm tpm0: A TPM error (-62) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts
After:
[ 10.271547] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
...
[ 10.646283] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
[ 10.653461] tpm tpm0: Exhausted 50 tpm_tis_send_data retries
[ 10.659304] tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -5
[ 10.665435] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
...

[ 11.050288] tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -5
[ 11.055723] tpm tpm0: A TPM error (-5) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts
