The current code uses GFP_HIGHMEM, which is wrong because GFP_HIGHMEM (on 32 bit systems) is memory ordinarily inaccessible to the kernel and should only be used for allocations affecting userspace. In order to make highmem visible to the kernel on 32 bit it has to be kmapped, which consumes valuable entries in the kmap region. Since the tpm_buf is only ever used in the kernel, switch to using a GFP_KERNEL allocation so as not to waste kmap space on 32 bits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
