Description of problem:

For the past 4 days, started on "mar 14 21:12:17", I'm seeing the following message in the logs:

"""
kernel: tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -62
"""

This message is repeated every 12.5 seconds, for a total 24622 times.

This system's logs go back to the 22 of February and the only other tpm relevant mentions are:

"""
fev 22 09:55:44 marte kernel: tpm_tis 00:09: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0xB, rev-id 16)
mar 03 08:39:43 marte kernel: tpm_tis 00:09: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0xB, rev-id 16)
"""

I looked in the logs to see what had changed prior to the first tpm error message but did not find any clues.

This system has been up since "mar 03 08:39:42", that is over 15 days, so a new kernel is (probably) not the issue and I had not installed any packages or updates in the days prior.

After trying to debug the problem and searching the interwebs for help, nothing relevant come up.

So today I had some free time and decided to do some poking and see what would break.

I stopped all services one by one to see if the messages would stop but they continued so I turned to the kernel modules and removed the modules "tpm_infineon" and "tpm_tis" and the tpm error messages stopped but I got the following kernel warning and backtrace:

Partitions are LUKS encrypted and the "dm_crypt" is the module keeping the "tpm" module loaded but I don't think that is the cause of the issue.

There is a bug somewhere causing this issue, probably in the kernel TPM modules, but at the moment the system seems stable and I see no ill effects so I'm making this report for future reference just in case other people encounter the same issue.
