This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled TPM: Add new TPMs to the tail of the list to prevent inadvertent change of dev to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt8. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 566053695642254b4daf427c7b175d6855b84a68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 10:33:02 +0100 Subject: TPM: Add new TPMs to the tail of the list to prevent inadvertent change of dev commit 398a1e71dc827b994b7f2f56c7c2186fea7f8d75 upstream. Add newly registered TPMs to the tail of the list, not the beginning, so that things that are specifying TPM_ANY_NUM don't find that the device they're using has inadvertently changed. Adding a second device would break IMA, for instance.
