Functionality of the xen-tpmfront driver was lost secondary to
the introduction of xenbus multi-page support in commit ccc9d90a9a
("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.
