Regarding Mimi's proposal to avoid the issue by extending the PCR with
zeros, I think it also achieve the goal.
Roberto, removing the following code from init_digests() would be the
equivalent to the prior code, without needing to make any other
changes.  Let's keep it simple.  Do you want to post the patch with
the change, or should I?

         ret = tpm_get_random(chip, digest, TPM_MAX_DIGEST_SIZE);
         if (ret < 0)
                 return ret;
         if (ret < TPM_MAX_DIGEST_SIZE)
                 return -EFAULT;

As I can't duplicate the problem, it would need to be tested by others
experiencing the problem.
The bug reporter tested Roberto's last patch:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203953#c8

We should Cc the reporter on future patches or at least leave another
testing request in the bugzilla.
I don't see the reporter's email. Please ask him to test the new patch.
Done!

Tyler
Thanks

Roberto
