According to the bug report at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62678, the trusted module is a dependency of the ecryptfs module. We should load the trusted module even if the TPM is inactive or deactivated. Given that commit 782779b60faa ("tpm: Actually fail on TPM errors during "get random"") changes the return code of tpm_get_random(), the patch should be modified to ignore the -EIO error. I will send a new version.Do you have information where this dependency comes from?ecryptfs retrieves the encryption key from encrypted keys (see ecryptfs_get_encrypted_key()).
So... what is preventing removing this requirement "in the source"? /Jarkko
