tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request region for resource

[Kelvin Middleton]

New hardware (AMD Threadripper 2920x with an ASRock X399 Taichi motherboard) and a clean 18.04.1 install. I purposefully turn on AMD fTPM in the UEFI as I would like to explore using this to secure my system. However after booting with this option no /dev/tpm device node exists and the kernel boot output now includes the following...

$ dmesg | grep -i tpm
[ 0.000000] ACPI: TPM2 0x000000007902E4D0 000034 (v04 AMD A M I 00000001 AMI 00000000)
[ 0.928120] tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request region for resource [mem 0x7943a000-0x7943afff]
[ 0.928141] tpm_crb: probe of MSFT0101:00 failed with error -16
[ 1.090180] ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass! (rc=-19)

I'm using the motherboard vendors latest issued UEFI firmware and am unable to locate any other examples of this issue on my hardware.

Hi, tested with upstream 4.20 as requested and still the same symptoms...

$ ls -l /dev/tmp

I've added the tag but it looks like a bot changed the status of this bug to confirmed before you first replied? Or have I missed a further confirmation that's needed?

Similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394912

[David Cuthbert (dacut)]

Still seeing this on the (upstream) 5.19 vanilla/mainstream kernel.

[leo60228 (leo60228)]

Not on Ubuntu, but I'm having this issue on 5.9.1 with an ASRock X399M Taichi and Threadripper 1920X.

[Merlin (fatalmerlin)]

I have the same problem running AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X on MSI X399 SLI PLUS with kernel 5.15.0-43-generic.
