From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: nayna@linux.vnet.ibm.com (Nayna Jain) Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 16:32:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] tpm: reduce tpm polling delay in tpm_tis_core In-Reply-To: <20171017203232.2262-1-nayna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> References: <20171017203232.2262-1-nayna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Message-ID: <20171017203232.2262-4-nayna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> To: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-security-module.vger.kernel.org The existing wait_for_tpm_stat() polls for the chip status after 5msec sleep. As per TCG ddwg input, it is expected that tpm might return status in few usec. So, reducing the delay in polling to 1msec. Similarly, get_burstcount() function sleeps for 5msec before retrying for next query to burstcount in a loop. If it takes lesser time for TPM to return, this 5msec delay is longer than necessary. After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte burstcount for 1000 extends improved from ~14sec to ~9sec.
