When rngd is run as root then lots of these types of message will appear in the kernel log if the TPM has been configured to provide random bytes: [ 7406.275163] tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_recv: error -4 The issue is caused by the following call that is interrupted while waiting for the TPM's response. sig = wait_event_interruptible(ibmvtpm->wq, !ibmvtpm->tpm_processing_cmd); Rather than waiting for the response in the low level driver, have it use the polling loop in tpm_try_transmit() that uses a command's duration to poll until a result has been returned by the TPM, thus ending when the timeout has occurred but not responding to signals and ctrl-c anymore. To stay in this polling loop extend tpm_ibmvtpm_status() to return 'true' for as long as the vTPM is indicated as being busy in tpm_processing_cmd. Since the loop requires the TPM's timeouts, get them now using tpm_get_timeouts() after setting the TPM2 version flag on the chip. To recreat the resolved issue start rngd like this: sudo rngd -r /dev/hwrng -t sudo rngd -r /dev/tpm0 -t Link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1981473 Fixes: 6674ff14 ("tpm_ibmvtpm: properly handle interrupted packet receptions") Cc: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com> Cc: George Wilson <gcwilson@linux.ibm.com> Reported-by: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>
