[Xen-devel] [PATCH RESEND] tpm: Restore functionality to xen vtpm driver.

[Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: "Dr. Greg Wettstein" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Functionality of the xen-tpmfront driver was lost secondary to
the introduction of xenbus multi-page support in commit ccc9d90a9a8b
("xenbus_client: Extend interface to support multi-page ring").

In this commit a pointer to the shared page address was being
passed to the xenbus_grant_ring() function rather then the
address of the shared page itself.  This resulted in a situation
where the driver would attach to the vtpm-stubdom but any attempt
to send a command to the stub domain would timeout.

A diagnostic finding for this regression is the following error
message being generated when the xen-tpmfront driver probes for a
device:

<3>vtpm vtpm-0: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error -62

<3>vtpm vtpm-0: A TPM error (-62) occurred attempting to determine
the timeouts

This fix is relevant to all kernels from 4.1 forward which is the
release in which multi-page xenbus support was introduced.

Daniel De Graaf formulated the fix by code inspection after the
regression point was located.

We've lost this patch a couple of years ago, re-submitting.
