Functionality of the xen-tpmfront driver was lost secondary to the introduction of xenbus multi-page support in commitccc9d90a9a("xenbus_client: Extend interface to support multi-page ring"). In this commit pointer to location of where the shared page address is stored 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
