[PATCH 0/2] tpm: Resolve potential blocking forever issue
Posted by Stefan Berger 1 month, 1 week ago
In case swtpm was to return a control channel message with an error code it
would only return 4 bytes. However, some of the commands expect a response
with more bytes and QEMU would get stuck in qemu_chr_fe_read_all() waiting
for bytes following the error code. Therefore, read the response in 2
passes stopping if an error code is received in the first 4 bytes to avoid
getting stuck.
