From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Nayna Jain Subject: [PATCH] tpm: improve tpm_tis send() performance by ignoring burstcount Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 07:46:32 -0400 Message-ID: <20170807114632.1339-1-nayna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: tpmdd-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: peterhuewe@gmx.de, tpmdd@selhorst.net, jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com, jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com, linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-ima-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, patrickc@us.ibm.com, Nayna Jain List-Id: tpmdd-devel@lists.sourceforge.net The TPM burstcount status indicates the number of bytes that can be sent to the TPM without causing bus wait states. Effectively, it is the number of empty bytes in the command FIFO. Further, some TPMs have a static burstcount, when the value remains zero until the entire FIFO is empty. This patch ignores burstcount, permitting wait states, and thus writes the command as fast as the TPM can accept the bytes. The performance of a 34 byte extend on a TPM 1.2 improved from 52 msec to 11 msec. Suggested-by: Ken Goldman in conjunction with the TPM Device Driver work group.
