Subject: [PATCH v5 5/7] tpm: Increase TPM_BUFSIZE to 8KB for chunking support
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 23:45:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029181541.99505-6-armenon@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029181541.99505-1-armenon@redhat.com>
From: Arun Menon <armenon@redhat.com>
TPM_BUFSIZE limits the TPM2 command the kernel builds before handing
it to a chip driver's send() callback. TPM 2.0 Library Part 3:
Commands v185 adds ML-DSA key objects and the ML-KEM
TPM2_Encapsulate()/TPM2_Decapsulate() commands (sections 14.10,
14.11) [1]. NIST FIPS 204, Table 2, gives the largest ML-DSA
parameter set, ML-DSA-87, a 4896-byte private key and a 2592-byte
public key [2].
Loading such a key pair with TPM2_Load, plus header, handle and session,
comes to roughly 7.7KB - more than the current 4096-byte TPM_BUFSIZE.
Raise TPM_BUFSIZE to 8192 bytes. It covers this command with
headroom, and keeps every kzalloc(TPM_BUFSIZE, ...) call in the TPM
stack at an order-1 page allocation rather than a higher order.
This matches the largest parameter set defined today. NIST has already
published PQC families with larger keys and signatures than ML-DSA
(e.g. FIPS 205/SLH-DSA), so a future algorithm could exceed 8192 bytes.
CRB chunking, added later in this series, does not change that; it only
lets an already-built command cross a smaller MMIO window in pieces,
it does not change how large a command the generic stack can build.
