[libvirt] [PATCH] tpm: Use /dev/null for cancel path if none was found
Posted by Stefan Berger 7 years, 10 months ago 
TPM 2 does not implement sysfs files for cancellation of commands.
We therefore use /dev/null for the cancel path passed to QEMU.

It would be better to simply not set the cancel-path= argument to QEMU if
it is not required / available.

Unfortunately QEMU will do the same thing as libvirt, that is search for 
the sysfs cancel path, unless it is provided via command line. We 
provide it here with a 'dummy path.'

Thanks a lot for the patch. Now libvirt does not complain anymore about the
missing cancel file and I could access the host TPM2.0 correctly from guest.

I see that this patch hasn't landed in libvirt yet.
