Subject: [PATCH] TPM: Long default timeout fix
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:18:50 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289596730-28966-1-git-send-email-srajiv@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
If duration variable value is 0 at this point, it's because
chip->vendor.duration wasn't filled by tpm_get_timeouts() yet.
This patch sets then the lowest timeout just to give enough
time for tpm_get_timeouts() to further succeed.
This fix avoids long boot times in case another entity attempts
to send commands to the TPM when the TPM isn't accessible.
