Commit Message

Johannes Holland May 10, 2022, 11:16 a.m. UTC
Due to CreatePrimary commands which need to create RSA keys of
increasing size, the timeout value need to be raised, as well.
Default is 300s.

A timeout of anything below 600s still lead to occasional timeouts for
me. Therefore, I propose 600s as a new value.

Dear Johannes,


Thank you for your patch.

Should you resend, maybe be more specific in the commit message summary. 
Maybe:

Double timeout for kselftests to 10 min

need*s*?

Mention 600 ms somewhere?

I’d say, this should go into the commit message. Maybe even say, what 
devices you are testing with.


Kind regards,

Paul

Could cope but I did not get why it needs to be raised.

The TPM2 SpaceTest testsuite currently creates 8 primary RSA 2k keys + 1 for
setup. Generating a RSA2k key can take up to ~1-2 minutes on some of our TPMs.
=> 2x9 = 18 minutes. In the kernel we even define a duration timeout for rsa2k
keygen of 5 min per key! (TPM2_DURATION_LONG_LONG = 300000) => up to 45 minutes
would be "acceptable".

However since the average key generation time is much faster, a value of ~10
minutes should be fine enough.

The reason why you did not experience this yet on your test system is either
because PTT TPMs are faster in that respect and/or some TPMs implement pre-gen
mechanisms for key generation, (or just plain luck)

BR, Stefan

I think this is ok.

Hi Jarkko,
 
Just curious. I can't see this patch was added to linux-next. Was I
expected to do something more to it?
 
Kind regards

Couple of things:

- Send to selftests maintainer:
- "selftests/tpm2" instead of "tpm:"
