Subject: [PATCH] tpm: fix interrupt timeouts
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2014 07:14:03 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.11.1408250710470.1443@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

commit 4c663cfc523a88d97a8309b04a089c27dc57fd7e
    wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()

changed the semantics of wait_event_interruptible_timeout so that a
condition check is performed after timeout and 1 is returned if true.

The TPM chip may not send interrupts even though the tpm module is
attempting to receive interrupts. In this case, after the module
sends a command to the TPM chip it performs a blocking wait on the
interrupt queue. No interrupts are sent from the chip, the queue is
not woken up and the blocking wait times out. Despite timing out,
the command has completed and the condition check performed by
wait_event_interruptible_timeout after timeout is true, resulting in
a return value of 1. Since the expected return value on timeout is 0
the timeout is not detected.

To fix, assume a return value of 1 or less indicates an elapsed
timeout. It is possible for the return value to be 1 after receiving
an interrupt, but this should be rare. The condition is not double-
checked because of possible side effects.
